The Arena of Death!

Welcome everyone to the first Arena of Death!

The Arena of Death is a place where heroes are made and destroyed. An area where the best champions of all the lands come and compete to see, once and for all, who is the greatest warrior! So come one, come all and see whether you stand up to the task!

The Arena highlights a battle between two different characters, controlled by two different players. Each player selects a character from a Warhammer Army Book to compete. The following rules apply to the battle:

Rules

1. The character and his upgrades/magic gear must come to 250 points. (A point or two over is fine).

2. Magic and shooting are banned, period. No questions. No exceptions.

3. It is assumed that the characters will start in base to base contact and begin the battle from there. (i. e., attack in Initiative order)

4. Assassins are allowed as a character choice.

5. All mounts with more than one wound are banned. Additionally, the Juggernaut and War Litter are banned.

6. No special characters allowed.

7. At the moment, Van Horstmann's Speculum is banned.

If you wish to join, please fill out the following form and post it in your reply:

Once you reply, just send me a PM with your character build. If approved, I will add your name to the following list. I will only be taking 16 competitors, so get your characters in fast! The deadline to join is Friday, October 22nd.

So, do we PM you the gear? Are you going to be rolling this up or are we rolling things ourselves? Just thought it might go quicker if you roll it and post the results up rather than goign back and forward between contestants (which might take a while)
