What are some good games where each player controls just a single squad/unit/warband of models and each model acts as a unique entity (no grouped units of models)? Games like Necromunda and Mordheim. I'm looking for any genre; sci-fi, fantasy, real world, ancient mythology, etc. |

You already mention Necromunda and Mordheim. You can add GW's Lord of the Rings game with is a distinct system and a lot of fun too. My favorite is Chain Reaction in any version, though I'd use 3.0 since it's free and has the most "tuned" system. Chain Reaction 2.0 had a lot of extra "chrome" in it, but that stuff is dribbling out as free add ons over time. |

Infinity (sci-fi) by Corvus Belli, the rules are free on their website. |

Aren't LotR and Infinity for larger armies grouped into units? Not 40K sized armies, more like around the size of AT43 or Warmachine armies? |

I second Chain Reaction – a great set of rules. You should take a look at them. Kev. |

The basic LotR game is not unit based. Units are used in the newer War of the Ring game. |

Any genre? Just about all of the wild west games are skirmish, where you control from a few guys up to maybe a dozen. Too many titles to try and list them all … but a sampling of a dozen off the top of my head would include: Blaze of Glory
Desperado III
Dusty Trails
Fistful of Lead
Gunfight
Gutshot
High Noon
Legends of the Old West
The Rules With No Name
Six Gun Sound
Tombstones & Tumbleweeds
Westamunda All of the above are aimed at a "gang" per player down to just one or two figures per player. |

Here are some just out of the top of my head: Alkemy, by Kraken Editions (fantasy) Song of Blades and Heroes (fantasy)
Mutants and Death Ray Guns (post-apocalyptic SF)
Song of Drums and Shakos (Nap)
Fear and Faith (modernish horror)
(All of the above by Ganesha Games.) Hell Dorado (fantasy, in hell) D&D Miniatures (which might rather be a 'hybrid' game – part boardgame, and collectible prepainted miniatures) (fantasy, obviously) Battle Troll (free Viking skirmish game hosted by Wargames Factory) |
