On Halloween Night we will be hosting a Warmachine/Hordes Tournament as part of our regular Monday night Warmachine/Hordes day. It is a $5 entry fee, but this is half off if you come in costume. 15 point army. Winner will receive a large bag of candy. Additional prizes based on the number of entries. See the details below for the fun.

Table Set-up: 3’ wide x 4’ deep board with several pieces of terrain. In the center of the board is an 8’ x 8’ Pumpkin Patch.
Force: Standard 15 point force.
Scenario: Assassination (good ole Caster killen)
Effect: When ever a unit ends its movement in the Pumpkin patch, roll 1d6 and consult the table below. The effect applies to the unit until it moves completely out of the patch.

The Patch Effects
1. Gremlins in the grass: the pumpkins explode with little humanoid creatures dressed in all manner of costume. They harass and annoy the unit until it leaves. The unit suffers -2 MAT, RAT, and Defence.
2. Omens of War: A shooting star seems to cast its light directly on the unit, granting it the blessings of the fates. When the unit makes an attack roll, roll one extra 1d6 and remove the lowest die. This takes effect before any other mechanics affect the dice.
3. Alone in the Dark: While within the patch, the very shadows leap to engulf the uni and blind it. The unit has no LoS to targets more than 5” away.
4. Shadow Cloak: The shadows leap to cover the unit and protect it from harm. The unit gains Stealth.
5. Dark Omens: A crow flies over the unit casting its shadow upon it. Whenever the unit makes an attack roll, roll one extra d6 and remove the highest die rolled. This takes effect before any other mechanics affect the dice.
6. Gremlins to the rescue: the pumpkins explode with little humanoid creatures dressed in all manner of costume. They give aid and try and help the unit locate enemies and protect it from being easily attacked. The figure has 360 degree line of sight and can ignore Free Strikes while within the patch.

If anyone else wants to use these rules, feel free. All I ask is you post here about your event so we can share in the fun.
