There's an interesting idea that's been running through my head lately. Skorne has a Theme that allows them to take Minion Beasts as Skorne Beasts. How would that shake out if everyone could do that for a Battlebox game?
The only rules I specifically will add to start is: 1) It must be a 0 point list. 2) Warcasters and Warlocks are limited to the Mk 2 or Mk3 Battlebox or Army Box. (ex: Cephalyx gets to use Thexus for this.)
3) Warcasters can take any Mercenary Jacks or Monstrosities in their list, and dismiss the Rhulic and Cephalyx rules for this consideration (ex: Magnus1 and Kozlov can take Gun Bunnies). 4) Warlocks can take any Minion Beast that is not attached to a Lesser Warlock (i.e. no Snapjaw or Brine). The Thornfall and Blindwater rules for this are not in consideration (ex: Barnabas1 can take a Road Hog).
So, how would you change up your Battlegroups?

Helynna and anything from Khador... between her gun, Decel, RoW, feat and HoD, good luck getting past that...
Helynna with the new Cryx box can be pretty scary too, I think (maybe replace the Reaper with her Manticore, though)...
Though I would say that getting precisely 0pts can be pretty difficult owing to points costs combinations not really working in a lot of cases.

Khador and Cryx do not have any Mercenary Jacks. So Helynna could take a Talon, but not a Lancer; a Mangler, but not a Juggernaut; a Banshee instead of a Manticore, see? |

Ah, right... misunderstood the question... my journey to retard-hood continues... Anyway, eh... if based on taking Mercs only, Ret wouldn't really have any options, but in the spirit of the question, Kae with Magnus1's Mk2 BG (except the Mangler) might be silly vs Warmachine because of all the Stationary and the Renegade's gun (if permitted away from Magnus?)... |

Not taking Mercs/Minions only, but in addition to what the faction your Warcaster/Warlock can currently take. But say, replacing the Griffon with a Talon, for example, and swapping the Chimera for a Gorgon. |

So something like:
Kozlov +28
Buccaneer 6
Talon 7
Decimator 15
the Bucc and talon gives a little bit of control and lets the deci hop about and shoot or charge in and kill things.
