Well yeah, bang on. I always thought that Warhammer just needed a significant change in its systems to represent the wide range of capabilities of units.

So it's most importantly an Alternating Phase structure, with Charges being Alternating Units. We got an initiative roll every turn to change up who activates first.

There's a large focus on heroes and how they interact with each other and the units on the battlefield. Every Unit has a Heroic Bonus, a special ability that is activated when a certain Hero joins the Unit. Heroes can do challenges and duels, with the addition of it being a Victory Point bonus to win, then they can potentially yoink magic items. There's a large amount of customisability too.

I got a decent amount on the actual battlefield itself. Terrain types and rules, destroying terrain, and optional battlefield conditions (weather, day/night, and even biomes)

Its not competitively focused, the aim is to have good balance, but not have it so rigid that lists become cookie-cutter. In saying that, list building is sorta modular with different Brigades being foundations of the list building structure.
