A roll will be made to see who gets the first turn.
If you have a ranged attack, you will shoot on your first turn, if not, you charge.
If you have a ranged attack, you will stand and fire if charged.
If you have spells, you will cast for 1 phase.
If you scout, or have other special deployment rules, you get a free round of ranged effects before the roll for 1st turn.
If you are a wizard, you dispel with your own wizard level.
If you are a hero, your friendly wizard lord gives you a +4 to dispel.

-1 to hit armor
4+ ward save talisman
re-roll all successful ward-saves against the wounds I cause
enchanted item

**Kura**

Meh, I should try to stay in the underdog categorey, but you know what, I think a carnasaur can take a dragon!

Saurus Old-Blood
Carnasaur
Armor of Destiny
Dawnstone
Banehead
Great Weapon (Biting Blade if not allowed to change our entries)

**cowpow16**

Chaos lord
mok
jugger
helm of many eyes
amulet of preservation
sword of might
enchanted shield

370

I think I did that right OVER LORD RAAAAA

Sorry was illegal he is legal now just chose the wrong shield my bad hes good to go

**Gorillawizard**

Arch Lector of Sigmar
war Alter
Great Weapon
Armour of Meteoric iron
Dawnstone
Van Horstman's Speculum
311 points

obviously the griffon from the war alter knows all the lore of light and chooses which spell to use, so which ever one is of benifit to the combat.

**EagleArk**

Dwarf lord

Shield bearers
Re-rollable armor (1+ armor)
4+ward
Great weapon (+1 attack)

I thinks its under 300, let me go check.

He`s 290, so just under. Wait, lets give him a crossbow for 10 points, he now costs 300 exactly!

**boogeyman**

I am sticking in the champions category. Unfortunately, my old-blood looked a lot like Kura's.

Old-blood = 287
cold-one (+2 AS and fear)
armor of destiny (4+ ward)
dawnstone (reroll AS)
bane head (2x wounds)
venom of the firefly frog (poison)
great weapon

so I will go with a different dwarf lord build than I normally do.

Dwarf lord = 298
shield bearers (+2 AS)
shield
weapon w/ rune of might (str. x2 if toughness >5)
rune of fire (flaming attacks)
armor w/ MR of steel (highest str attack = 5)
2x rune of iron (5+ ward save)
rune of preservation (immune to KB and Poison)
Talisman w/ rune of the furnace (immune to fire)

I think your points might be off, but it is hard to see when all the runes are not listed. I think you would be at 296 without the crossbow.

**DukeRustfield**

I think magic gets wonky since it's so random. I think a caster with something like Bolt of Change (and some way to mitigate miscasts) is hard to beat.

But I'll be really simple and choose a Special Character. Cuz my normal Character of Tzeentch convinced him to fight and I want to see how he does, anyway:

Skulltaker with a Charriot of Khorne = 300.

**EagleArk**

If i can put in for the overlord challeng aswell, ill put in the dwarf high king, if i cant ill stick with the lord.

**UNREALPwnage**

Any empire character with the speculum will work.

**Krellnus**

Wood Elf Highborn with Light Armour, Shield, Spirit Sword, Talisman of Preservation on Forest Dragon

**HawaiiMatt**

Yes, magic is very random. Keep in mind that you'll only get 1 phase of magic (as will your opponent), and that if you go 2nd, you're very likely to me in melee.

Please include your lore should you choose a wizard.

-Matt

**deaoth**

Chaos Lord of Tzeentch
Chaos Dragon
Sword of Swift Slaying
Enchanted Shield
Talisman of Preservation
The Other Trickster's Shard

**RaptorsTalon**

Overlord: High Elf Prince, Star Dragon, Armour of Destiny, Enchanted Shield, Blade of Sea Gold, Luck Stone, Longbow: 630pts

Champion: High Elf Prince, Barded Evlen Steed, Armour of Destiny, Enchanted Shield, Blade of Sea Gold, Luck Stone, Longbow: 284pts

If I can't enter both divisions, i'll enter the overlord.

**wizard12**

High elf prince

- null stone : No spell can be cast within 6". No magic item or rune works within 6", these are treated as normal items in these cases.
- great weapon
- dragon armour
- longbow
- shield
- start dragon

Total of : 644 pts

Thought I'd give this a try since many characters will be using magic items. No ward save so I'll have to rely on the dragons scaly skin and my armour save to save my hide. No magic weapons either to I'm hoping the dragon will be killy enough to make up for the lack of those.

For the champion category
Warlock engineer

- Brass orb - thrown in the shooting phase up to 8", it scatters as per a stone throwers shot. Models touched by the template take an initive test or are destroyed without a save of any kind. If a misfire is rolled the template is centered over the engineer. It can't be used in stand & shoot.

Total of : 65pts

A bit of fun really. It'd be interesting to see how many people he blows up and how many times he blows himself up and how many times he doesn't use it.

**boogeyman**

If I can submit a overlord, I will try something different again.

WE highborn = 571
dragon
annoyance of netlings (only hit by 6's)
stone of the crystal mere (3+ ward save for both highborn and dragon)
hail of doom arrow (3d6 str 4 magic arrows. one use)
relic sword (5+ to wound)
charmed shield (ignore 1st hit)
light armor

**rocksteadygreeny**

High Elf Prince=641
Star Dragon
Vambraces of defence (+4 Ward, reroll failed AS)
Foe Bane (2 or more wounds on your starting profile= I wound on a 2+)
Other Tricksters Shard(you reroll successful ward saves)
Enchanted Shield
Dragon Armour
Great Weapon

2+ rerollable armour save with a 4+ ward, ASF with rerolls at str 6 and a big dragon to boot lol

**MikZor**

Lizardmen:
Oldblood
Cold one mount (+2 AS)
Armour of Destiny (+2 AS 4+ Ward)
Great weapon (+2 S)
Dawnstone ( Re-Rollable AS)

260 w/h 15 Points over, no idea what else to give him apart from potion of Str, but S10 is a little OTT

**EmilCrane**

Bretonnian Lord
Barded Wargorse
Grail Vow
Virtue of Confidence
Armour of Agiluf
Gromril great Helm
Beserker Sword
Lance

265 pts, rerolls all misses and failed wounds in a challenge, 1+ re-rollable AS, 5+ Ward against S5+ attacks, 6+ normally, WS10, frenzy that can't be lost

he gets frenzy with the lance because bret characters use their lance over a magic item on the charge, but retains the frenzy because all he has to do is bear it

**Malleus**

The Dawnstone
Van Horstmann's Speculum

Loving this idea and gutted I cant submit my entries will keep an eye out for heat 2 if such a thing comes up

**Ralin Givens**

High Elf Prince
Star Dragon
Vambraces of Defence
Armour of Caledor
Talisman of Loec
Great Weapon

total points 622

**HawaiiMatt**

Due to a shortage of opponents, I'll be entering my price, the Fallen Star.

Elf Prince, bow of the Seafarer, armor of the stars, 6+ ward, great weapon.

I'm going to bet quite a few people are scratching their heads and trying to figure out what the armor of the stars is.

-Matt

**Ralin Givens**

Im trying to figure out how that build is fair in this ruleset

Max of 1 shooting phase, just like magic. Enemy is always considered to complete a charge with a 360 line of sight, and you've got to teleport beyond the base move to be able to stand and shoot.
Given that the guy has a 6+ armor save and a 6+ ward, he's not exactly tough to kill.
We'll see how he does against the dwarf lords.
Of my 3 builds, this guy is by far, my weakest.

-Matt

Automatically Appended Next Post:
FYI, here's my 2 alternates:
Dreadlord on cold one, cloak, heavy armor, great weapons.
Life Taker, reverse ward, dragon helm, ruby ring.
So I get a fireball, 3 S4 shots that always hit on 2's, 4 S6 attacks, 1+ armor, reverse ward, 2+ ward vs fire, a S4 mount attack, and I cause fear.

Warlord riding Rat Ogre, shield, FellBlade.
4 S10 attacks, that each do a D6 wounds and you must re-roll ward saves; followed up with 5 S5 attacks.
Combat will be short, one way, or another.

I would rather face the skaven then the other two

I'm the same! Found the damned thing too late!

Are you planning another, Matt?

Can't have both the Armour of Agiluf and the Gromril Great Helm. Aren't both magic armor?
