Basically it's about 12 districts that are controlled by a capitol, and to show off their power they take a boy and girl from each district each year and make them all fight to the death. In this case the main characters love each other and both picked to go to the games and are forced to try to keep each other alive knowing full well one of them will have to die in the end.

Ah i see, that sounds like an awesome idea for a story in the arena

Dwarven lord : Ulli Gransorson @250
Became a dwarven lord when he turned 203 cause his dad died.Because he is so young he wants to be the best he can be and let the runelord of his hold make him a nice armour and weapon so he can be the best. The advisors of his hold try to keep him from fighting but it is hopeless a dwarf on a mission is impossible to stop. Wil he meet his match or Does he walk a way knowing he was the best. The advisors of Karak krom hope the do not need to mourn for there lord.
Items: Master rune of gromil Rune of Resistance Rune preservation. Master Rune of Swiftnes Rune of Speed Rune of Fire Rune of Furnace
tactics: He thinks he is an avatar of his gods. And thus he fights that way he is fast and tries to get the upper hand with his speed and tries to wear the opponent out due to his endurance.

Wait wait wait ride any monster? I have no choice.
EDITED FOR MORE GIANT

Team 8; Da Big 'Unz
Nubk and Kubn grew up together in the tunnels of their tribe; each respectable-ish gnoblar warriors of some esteem, and, as much as any Gnoblars can be, were 'friends'; fighting together, eating together, hiding from hungry ogres together. That is until the fateful day when they found different shiniez.

While sneaking scraps from their ogres after a battle, Kubn chanced upon a magic Gem; while Nubk found himself a magic Seed. The argument over the scrap started a deep rivalry to prove whose was the best, escalating further and further beyond all reason. Now, seated atop the tribe's slave-giants, Nubk and Kubn will prove once and for all which is better in open competition: Mojo Seed or Mojo Gem! Who will reign supreme!!

Nubk: Night Goblin Big Boss: Enchanted Shield, Potion of Speed, Seed of Rebirth; Riding a Giant

Kubn: Night Goblin Big Boss: Enchanted Shield, Potion of Speed, Tormentor Sword, Dragonbane Gem; Riding a Giant

Tactics: If they opponent has a flaming attack, send in Kubn. Otherwise, send in Nubk. Always drink their potion on the first turn.

Rules Questions: How does Terror interact with the initial charges? Do items/effect Combat Results have any effect? Is either character considered my "general" for special effects?

[Spedgal]

Team 9

The M'Shrag people of north-western Naggroth worship two goddesses: The Child and The Crone. These Gods govern all aspects of life in sacred duality: birth, death; love, hate; peace, war. These two powers are opposites, but not foes. Part of a complete sacred duality.

The Child, the force of creation, appears as a care-free young girl with pure white skin and black hair. No worry in her mind, only pure joy and laughter, even in battle. She is associated with the Air and Fire, and is pulled into the mortal world by a flock of flaming doves as she lounges.

The Child: Herald of Tzeentch: Power Vortex, Flames of Tzeentch, Winged Horror; Chariot of Tzteentch

The Crone, the force of death, is a rotted woman with dead-black skin and pure-white hair; associated with the Earth and Water, she is often mud-covered and digs out of the ground as she appears in the mortal world. She is bitter and angry, and spiteful in battle, but never speaks or makes any sound at all.

The Crone: Herald of Nurgle; Bale-Sword, Noxious Vapors

Tactics:
Send in The Child first if the opponent has flaming attacks, or if they are not a spellcaster
Send in The Crone first if the opponent is a spellcaster and lacks flaming attacks

The Child's Magic Tactics: Starting with 5 Dice
Use Two Dice to cast Flickering Fire of Tzeentch
Use Two Dice to cast Boon of Tzeentch
~IF they are a spell-caster, use 2 Dice to cast Glean Magic to cast whatever their most destructive spell is (I will make a list later)
~IF they are not a spell-caster, use 3 Dice to cast Bolt of Change
IF any power-dice remain, use them all to try and cast Gift of Chaos

My own rules questions:
Can Tomb-Wraiths/Banshees out of the newer VC book take magic items?
What happens if a character rides a monster that normally comes with handlers?

[grumbaki]

Naan, Spedgal, great to see you two here. For your questions:

From past arenas, psychology does nothing here. No terror, no fear, no crumbling, no fleeing.

Any unit champions can take a lord's choice of magic items. So tomb-wraiths/banshees could take 100 points of magic items, but no powers. Likewise, a dragon ogre could take 100 pts of magic items, but no gifts.

And when you ride monsters, you don't get the handlers and all attacks automatically go to the rider. If the rider dies, the monster wanders off.

[Naanomi]

Makes me want to revise my team a bit. Makes me want to replace the Orc Warboss with a Marauder Champion riding a Hellcannon. Is it too late to switch teams once posted?

[Spedgal]

Yeah, can we revise our lineups before the beginning?
Also, can we duplicate our magic item choices (IE: both of our guys have Opal Amulets or whatever)?
Also, does 'ride any monster' mean just units with the Monster type, or does it include Monstrous Infantry (ride a Dragon Ogre!) Monstrous Beasts (Ride a Chaos-Spawn!) or War Beast (Ride a Chaos-Hound!)?

[danny-d-b]

up until mal says its locked you may change caracters
and yes I belive as long as there not direct dupicates of each other you can have exactly the same magic items (the 4+ ward save tree of the arena, just like the free dagger tree of mordime does exisit)
as for monsters, I've just read it as normal monsters but you will have to check monsters

These have no effects in the tournament.

My own rules questions:

Good one. We will allow them 100 points like the lords.
Handlers play no part.


Feel free to change entries until lock down.

[Spedgal]

Feel free to change entries until lock down.

Thanks! I just realized my mini-Ld Bomb character doesn't work because I can't lower their Ld statistic by the tournament rules. Glad I caught that while I could!

[grumbaki]

9 teams in, 7 more to go. Get the word out people!

[Spedgal]

More Rules Questions:
~Are spells that transform units available? (Transformation of Kadon, or perhaps The Dread 13th)
~Spells that destroy magic items (Vaul's Unmaking), how do they work here?

In past arenas transformation spells and 13th are allowed. Just remember, if you miscast you take d6 wounds with no saves allowed. I have bad memories of characters being eaten by dragons...

As for spells, good question. I'd guess that if they go off they would only work on a 4+, but it is Malorian's call.
