Here are some Experimental Missions that I've been working on. I would like some C&C on this idea.

Hidden Victory
Conditions
The ebb and flow of battle is as endless as the ways to wage. Not all armies are equal nor are all
objectives. Secrecy can be key to
winning a battle. Your mission will not
necessarily be the same as that of your opponent.
To set up a Hidden Victory Condition game players will first
roll on the Random Deployments chart in the Warhammer 40,000 6th
Edition Rulebook. Players will then each
randomly pick three victory conditions. These
can be chits with the mission name or slips of paper. Choose one of the three to be your mission
and keep it secret, only to be revealed at the end of the game. After each player has chosen his condition
they will roll off for Night Fight (4+) and then roll for first turn as
normal. The winner may choose to go
first or second. The player going first
will then choose which deployment zone they want to use and set up as
normal. The player going second then
sets up and can attempt to seize the initiative on a D6 roll of 6.
It is recommended that after deployment each player draws a
quick map of the battlefield highlighting specific pieces of terrain in the
event that they have a victory condition that includes holding objectives. Even if your victory condition is not an
objective based one you should do this to be sneaky.
Use the standard rules for ending the game found in the
Warhammer 40,000 6th Edition Rulebook
After the game has ended both players reveal their Victory
Conditions and declare whether they have completed their missions or not and how
many Victory Points each was worth. The
player with the most Victory Points has won the game, even if they have no
models left on the table at the end of the game.
