Hello all this is my first Arena! So here are the rules:

Select one wizard and you may upgrade it, legally, how you want.
Must not excede 200 points.
Tell me what the magic items do.
No mounts.
No warrior wizards (ie Tzeentch champions, Necrach Vampires, HE commanders with Loremaster honour, etc.).
No lord level wizards.
Chose the lore you want the whole time.
Any other specific thing.
Only the first 8 will be chosen.
You may chose to use Appendix wizards. Example are Festering Chantor and Eshin Sorcerer.
If there are any 1 time use objects, they can be used once per battle. Not once for the whole thing.

Personally, I would like to see a Necromancer or a Chaos Dwarf sorcerer.

Talisman of Protection- 10 points- 6+ ward save

Dark Magic

Chillwind Casts on a 5+
Magic Missle with a 24" range. Causes d6 Strength 3 hits. A unit that suffers any casulaties can do nothing in the next shooting phase.

Doombolt Casts on a 6+
Magic Missle with 8" range. Causes d6 Strength 5 hits.

Words of Pain Casts on a 8+
(Remains in Play)
Any enemy within 24" and is visable. Any models have their WS and BS reduced to 1. Remains in play untill it is dispelled, I attempt to cast another spell, or am slain. (If I roll this, I instantly use it, then charge if I get it off.)

Soul Stealer Casts on 9+
Nominate any enemy model within 6" of me which may be in close combat. Evey model takes a S3 hit. For each unsaved wound, I gain a wound. I may never have more than double my wounds.

Dominion Casts on a 10+
Any model within 12" of the caster. During the next turn, I prohibit any action: movement of the unit, shooting of the movement, casting spells. (i will always use casting spells)

Black Horrow Casts on a 12+
Place the large 5" template anywhere within line of sight and the center within 18" of the caster. Any models under the template are automatically affected, and partially under the template models are affected on a 4+. Affected models suffer a wound with no armour saves allowed if I can roll over the model's Strength on a d6(roll of 6 always succeeds). Any model that takes a wound must make an immediate panic test.

Total:
3 spells
+1 to all casting rolls

Sorry Arch-Seer no mounts. Except for that it is a really good character. Since you won't have the Cold one, and since wizards aren't the best in combat, if you get words of pain do you just want me to exchange it for chillwind?

How far apart do characters start?

The Mage Azuriel is always anxious to prove himself to his master Kaerdroth.

Lv 2 Mage
hand weapon
Loremasters Cloak (2+ wardsave against magical spells)
Channeller (I can use 4 dice to cast a spell instead of 3)

If you decide that I'm not allowed to use the cloak (I wouldn't blame you), then replace it with:
Guardian Pheonix (5+ ward save) and
Jewel of the Dusk (+1 power die)

Either way, he is 180 points

I will also use the Lore of Fire.

I thinking 24-30 inches. Which ever will be better. Yeah, the Loremasters cloak is a bit too powerful for this kind of Arena.

I thought as much, but I had to give it a try ^_^ . Oh well, no godlike Azuriel for me.

Wunda, Savage Orc Shaman (67)
M4 WS3 BS3 S3 T4 W2 I2 A1(2) Ld7
Level 2 (35)
Warpaint (8) - 6+ Ward save (not a magic item)
Frenzy (free)
Dangly Wotnotz(25) - Once per fight, may add +1 to any single die roll. Will use this to prevent first miscast or cause an irrisistable force if rolls a 5 and 6.
Nibbla's Itty Ring(25) - Bound Spell, power level 3. 'Eadbutt

Uses Little Waagh! Magic
1) Gaze of Mork - 5+ to cast, range 24". Magic Missile, d6 S4 hits
2) Fists of Gork - 7+ to cast, range 8". All models in one unit take one WS3 S4 attack
3) 'Eadbutt - 7+ to cast, range 24". Single model take a S4 hit with no armour save
4) Brain Bursta - 8+ to cast, range 24". Magic Missile, 2d6 S4 hits
5) Ere we go - 9+ to cast, range 18". One unit of Orcs/Goblins in HtH fights a round of combat with no return attacks
6) Hand of Gork - 9+ to cast, range 24". One unit of greenskins in charge range will attempt to charge, enemy can only hold.

This is the spell list.

Aesis- Fire Ball and Fiery Blast.

Sylak- Soul Stealer, Chillwind, and Black Horrow.

Azuriel- Conflagration of Doom and Fire Ball.

Wunda- Brain Busta and Gaze of Mork.

Selenor- Wall of Fire, Flaming Sword of Rhuin, and Conflagration of Doom.

Tenqxi- Forked Lightning and Storm of Cronos.

Johann- Vanhels Dance Macabre and Curse of Years (you chose which one will be traded in for Invocation)

Kai-Loq- Second Sign of Amul and Uranons Thunder Bolt.

If any of you would like to exchange one of your spells for the 1st one tell me which one. Also tell me what spells are more important to you on average how many die would you like for the spell.

Yes, I will exchange Word of Pain for Chillwind.

Remember, I have one extra spell.

Sorry about that Arch-Seer, its all fixed up including the 3rd spell.

I would like to replace Burning Head with Fire Ball if that's alright.

I'm assuming everyone gets the 2 base dice, plus magic level, plus items?

Wunda will use two dice on each spell, starting with Gaze of Mork. The bound spell will be used before he attempts casting with any dice.

The line ups so far are:

Aesis vs. Wunda
Azuriel vs. Sylak
Selenor vs. Tenqxi
Johann vs. Kai Loq


If you want you may challenge. Asuming the opponet accepts.

Sylak challenges Azuriel.

Sylak will use as many dice as possible to dispell.

He will use 2 Dice to cast Chillwind each turn. If it fails, I will cast it again with my remaining dice. If I succeed, I will use the reamaining dice to cast Black Horror.

Don't forget the +1 to casting rolls I always get.

I accept the challenge of Sylak.

Azuriel will use the Conflagration of Doom on 3 dice every turn.
If that fails, he will then try casting Fire Balls with his remaining 2.
I get the +1 to my dispel rolls too.

Arch-Seer, wizards can't attempt the same spell more than once unless that wizard has a magic item allowing him/her to do so.

Channeller: Can use 1 more Power Dice. +10 points.

Lore of Fire

lol, I tried that little trick too, but unfortunately we can't use the cloak. It would make us the easy winners of this arena.

You know, I just realized how useless the Guardian Pheonix is going to be......

I edited my post. Do those magic items look good and legal now?

(whacks himself on the head)

We only need 1 more Person and our chamber shall open.

On a side note Moonshadow, your combo is legal in my Arena.
Also, HardtoChoose, your character isn't legal. It can only take 50 points of magic tiems, not 100. And arcane items are allowed.

Wil use the Lore Of Heavens

i changed it.

Ok, I ahve everything I need. I will start doing the battles and try to get 1 up tonight.

ah, shoot. i got the ones that are hard to cast with 4 dice! oh well, ill trade danse macabre for invocation (the zombies are their to annoy) and hope i get curse of years cast! (p.s.: whenever i have a unit of zombies, cast invocation and add guys to that unit) always cast 2nd level unless i only have 1 dice than use first level (obviously).

(i was hoping for gaze of nagash)

p.s: do you know zombie stats?

I can get the stats for zombies. Are you sure you don't want Dance of Macabre? It is really good. Plus Curse of years is a remain in play spell. Which means you can't use any other spell as long as you want to continue Curse of Years.

hmmm... actually, ure right. (hits himself on the head again) gotta read those spells thoroughly. i trade in curse of years for invocation.

(Are they the final pairings?)

VS. Azurel- I will always use Chillwind, 3 Dice for the first cast, 2 for Black Horror. My only hope is the +1 to all casting rolls. ^_^

I will use all possible dice to dispel.

Kai-Loq challenges Johann

You were already gonna fight Johann. So there is no point because those are the final pairrings.

ARGHHHHHHH! no, not you! with my toughness three and my two wounds, with that bound spell of yours ull kill me! o well...

against kai-loq, use second level nehek with 3 - 4 dice.And put zombs, when he is 18 inches away, an inch away from him (u have to) problem is, i cant do anything till hes 18 inches away!

will change storm of cronos for second sign of amul.

ummm dosen't Kai-loq have 60 points of magic items? 30 for the glyph neclace and 30 for the blood statuette.
