Well similar to the 40K arena one, hoping this one will do better

You may only pick special characters

No character may be picked twice

Maximum of one entry per member

Characters may not have any retinues/bodyguards etc

Could participants please try and post the rules of these characters and all special rules so we all know their abilities

To allow for shooting and magic attacks i will deploy each character 24" apart, if the character has scout special rule he may be deployed 18" from the opponent

No challenging until the 2nd round

I will randomly generate the drawing for the 1st round and notfy all

I will fix a closing date for entries , all entries MUST BE IN BY THE 10th September 2003 by 10.00AM GMT

If not enough special characters are entered the spares will fight a NPC [Non player character]
for round 1 this will be...

Chaos Lord with great weapon

Any queries will be answered to the best of my ability

Most of all have fun!!!!!

Oh I forgot at the moment special characters may only be chosen from the following sources:

Warhammer chronicles 1 and 2
Warhammer Army books

I will permit also Eltharion Shadowblade Valten and Crom the Conqueror because they will probably be in Warhammer Chronicles 2004.

Wizard Special characters may choose a lore after the draw if applicable [for example Teclis may choose metal for the 1st round life for the 2nd]

Any other characters not from these sources i will consider if asked

For myself i will enter prince Tyrion, he's pretty hard

Blood Lines

Aura Of Dark Majesty: troops can march if within 18' now instead of 12'

Summon Wolves: At the start of your turn you may summon d3 wolves on one of the sides of the table, this counts the same way as if they had pursued a unit off the table edge. (meaning they can't do anything the turn they're summoned)

Call Winds: At The beginning of each of your turns you may choose not to move the vampire with this power and call winds instead. Roll a dice: on a result of 1 nothing happens, on a 2-6 the vampire summons a wild storm that will last until the beginning of his next turn. If he's engaged in close combat, wounded or killed, the storm ends immediatly. The storm affects the entire battlefield. All Shooting is at -1 to hit. All flying movement is impossible and flying creatures have to use their ground movement value

Gorthor may use that spell as a Bound Spell with the Power Level equal to the casting value during the Chaos Magic Phase. He cannot choose the #1 spell isntead.

Magic Items:

Impaler: Counts as a spear. In addition, if any of Gorthors to hit rolls are doubles, triples, or quadrouples, even if they would normally miss, they wound automatically. Ex. if you roll two 1s, then there are 2 auto wounds in addition to any other results.

Skull of Mugrar: Any attacks greater than S5 count as S5, and can only inflict 1 wound per hit. Any attacks that would automatically wound, or score wounds equal to a fixed dice roll still do so. If the chariot is destroyed, so is this item.

Cloak of the Beastlord: Gives Gorthor a Ward Save equal to the strength of the attack to a minimum of a 6+ Ward Save.

Special charcter battle one -Settra vs Galrauch

Both characters enter the arena, Galruach grabing the initiative flyes fowards and lands mere inches from the chariot, then breathing a magic red flame over the undead lord, weaking him.
Settra using the flames as cover and charges into the foul mutating underbelly of Galrauch ripping a hole in the underbelly of the foul beast, as his scythes slice through hi legs causing the vile beast to collapse, in return the vile beast tried to swat the annoying chariot , but then the spirit of the former noble dragon reappears and tries to rip himself to pieces, watching intnently Settra watches Galrauch devour himself, trying not to smile...

Turn One
galrauch flies forwards casts red fire wounding settra, breath weapon fails to damage settra

Settra charges causing five wounds on the Dragon [he WAS seriously lucky BTW]
In return the chariot is knocked to 2 wounds
Turn Three
Galrauch failed his ld test atcaked himself and killed himself

I have to admit i thought settra was toast, but my god was he lucky...

Ok ur next up Thee forsaken One, I'll try and get the 2 battles done on Monday

The Chaos Lord felt the air chill as Manfred rode in, deciding to move up to engage the foul creature in hth .
Manfred watches the little chaos lord advance, riding up to him, and focusing all his power into his staff unleashing a blast of pure hate into the armoured figure, staggering through the pain the chaos lord charges in, seriously hacking into Manfred, but Manfred, knowing where the lord is injured from his magic blast inflicts the crucial wounds topling the lord, before deciding he needed a new servent...

Turn one
chaos lord advance
Manfred advances
Manfred casts gaze of nagash 1 wound inflicted
Turn 2
Chaos lord charges inflicts 2 wounds on manfred
Manfred inflicts 2 wounds on chaos lord killing him

Gothor determined to show this elf true magic mastery stays where he is unleashing bolts of pure death magic at Tyrion's steed causing Malhandir to collapse
Tyrion leaps off his falling steed charging into Gothor determined to exact revenge, smashing Gothor's chariot with ease and wounding the beastlord, who in return whacked Tyrion with his staff, Tyrion knows the beats is weak and with all his might swipes the head clean of Gothor

Turn one

7 4 0 5 6 4 3 3 8 echnaton


Scorpion lord: He has too take one tomb scorpion or swarm for every 1000pts
it came from below may be re-rolled but secon roll stands

Blessed of sokth : if his killed in addition to the normal curse he also creates d3 tomb swarms in base with what killed him.

His will be done can effect any tomb scorpion or swarm on the battle field

Magic items
sword of sokth; poison,killing blow,great weapon, -1 a.save
This sword was crafted from the tail of the scorpion phephestus defeated and still retains some of its deadliness, It was then blessed in the temple of
sokth

Armour of sokth: Magic resistance 1, Armoursave 4+, immune to
poison
This armour was crafted from the scale of the dead scorpion and blessed in the temple of sokth, it still retains some of that creatures essence

Eye of sokth; 5+ ward save versus missile chariot only, no strenghth 7 destruction
This glyth has been carved into
Phesphestus chariot.

Crown of Lybrasia; 4+ward save,all scorpion based units within 12'' suffer one less wound from combat resolution
This crown has been worn by the rulers of lybrasia for as long as can be remebered , the emerald atop it is the icon of that rulership

Scorpion chariot; Follows all the rules for a normal scythed chariot

right no objections to phestphestus's character
Second round fight 1
Settra vs manfred
A chill snap entered the arena as the 2 undead lords appeared, manfred grasped the advantage and moved first halting outside setrras charge range and sent magic missiles into the king causing a lucky hit on him.
Settra moved forwards and triedv to speed his chariot into charge but manfred anticpated this and used all his power to suck away the magic settra generated,
Seeing his chance manfred charged in, and with a few quick strikes of his blade settra collapsed as a bunch of rags hit the floor

Turn one
Manfred moves a little casts gaze of Nagash onto Settra causing one wound on settra himself
Settra moves full power, tries to use his magic to get th charge but Manfred dispells, with a double 6
Manfred charges and hit settra so hard he had no chance of striking back

Our first finalist is through

Manfred Von Carstein

Oh BTW i do know that settras magic item went first but he failed to inflict any wounds at all (unlucky and that 3+ ward save). Just forgot tp put it in the story :(
The 2nd fight will hopefully be done this afternoon

Fight two Tyrion vs king phesphestus
phesphestus looked as the elven prince entered shading his eyes from the brightness of his armour.
phesphestus charged forwards, using his magic to charge into to Tryion, temporary stunning Tyrion, phestphestus cut malhandir into tiny pieces but the elven prince remained unharmed, enraged at this Tyrion exchanged blows with the crew of the chariot, leaving echnaton as a smouldering lump, and the king's arm dangling with only a bit a bit of bandage holding it on.
Phesphestus used this to his advantage throwing his arm into tyrions face and knocking him down to the ground. Knowing his foe was dead Phesphestus left the carcass for dead, but the tiny gem round tyrion's next broke casting life back into Tyrion's body, and using sunfang he cut the feet off Phesphestus and rising to his feet plunged his sword into the foul creature

Turn One
Phesphestus charged into Tyrion, Malhandir easily killed, but Tyrion saved by his armour, Tyrion kill ecthanon
Turn Two
Tyrion wounds Phesphestus once Phesphestus and his chariot wound tyrion twice felling him, but... he rises again thanks to his gem
Turn three Tyrion puts the last wound on phesphestus

So the final will be....
Manfred Von Carstein vs Prince Tyrion

Good luck Thee forsaken one, commiserations to Phesphestus he was good, but... Tyrion appears to be too good for him in hth, hope that helps in this character's develop though :)

It does thanks for letting him in,i didnt expect to win just put up a good fight. :D
good luck

Yes I'm through to the final. :D :D :D :D

Ok Folks it's finally here : THE FINAL

The participants
Manfred Von Carstein vs Prince Tyrion

Manfred rode in on hid dark steed , malhandir whined in terror on the other side and tyrion whispered in elvish courage to his steed, snarling Manfred invoked his magic from his staff knocking Malhandir from underneath Tyrion

Tyrion taken aback ran forward trying to dodge the fell blasts of magic coming out of manfred's staff, but they were too fast and one hit him in the arm, as he collapsed manfred seized the oppertunity and charged...
Tyrion fought like a madman but failed to penetrate manfreds armour as his foul magic protected him, manfred smashed his staff into tyrion leaving the elven prince bleeding on the floor,an admirable warrior, thought Manfred, and one that would be most useful to him in future fights...

WELL DONE MANFRED AND THEE FORSAKEN ONE
