Doubles Tournament - 14: Sign up Thread

[Malorian]

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?

You can't change the stats of opponents, so both those spells are possible but just make sure you understand how the miscasts work here.

You only destroy an item on a 4+.

[Malorian]

So this isn't looking good...

I brought back the most popular tournament to see if it would fill up with only half the spots it used to have, and it isn't...

Seems too many of the old faces are gone and only a few new ones are here to replace them. I don't know... I'll leave this up for a few more weeks but this seems to be a sign of the end...

[Hudson Gameover]

I'm an old face, Sly Rax, but with a new name. (couldnt remember my old password)

I will try to get teafloy_the_deamned and femme fatale on board to.

Hope you get the full amount Mal.

Anyway here is my two....

My old fav, Raganze 66 (cant remember how many kills he got too, so I'll start again at 66)
Dark elf assassin
Touch of death
Rune of Khaine
Pendant of Khaeleth
Potion of foolhardiness
AHW
186 points

Use potion on the first turn of every fight.

Ratikuss Halfsense
Skaven assassin
The fellblade
220 points

Two one hit wounders here.

Ratikuss Halfsense. What was once a rat with the art of silent death is now no more than a jibbering wreck of his former self. After a ogre club caved in the left side of his head, loseing him an ear, eye and a large portion of skull, he is now no more than a point and kill weapon used by friends and foes alike.

[grumbaki]

Good timing on coming back! I really hope this gets off the ground

[vinny t]

I'm in on this! just give me a little time to get a entry

[RaZeR]

Looks like I picked a good time to check out the old AOD again
I'll get an entry in ASAP, hope it's not too late!
Expect the triumphant(ish) return of Einar

[RaZeR]

The Triumphant Return of Einar!

Einar - Exalted Hero of Khorne [241]
Barded Chaos Steed
Axe of Khorne
Talisman of Preservation
Charmed Shield
Favour of the Gods

M4 WS7 BS3 S6 T4 W2 I6 A5 Ld8 ASv1+ WSv4+
M7 WS3 BS- S4 T- W- I3 A1 Ld5

Kvist - Exalted Hero of Khorne [246]
Barded Chaos Steed
Shield
Armour of Destiny
Necrotic Phylactery
Golden Sigil Sword
Helm of Many Eyes

M4 WS7 BS3 S5 T4 W2 I10 A5 Ld8 ASv2+ WSv4+
M7 WS3 BS- S4 T- W- I3 A1 Ld5

After a long absence, Einar has finally returned to the Arena of Death. The unkillable scion of the dark gods refuses to be drawn on the reasons for his departure, but it is clear that all who see him are cheered by his return. Apart, that is, from the unfortunates that are shortly to face him across the Arena. As on several occasions in the past, he has brought along an assistant, Kvist, a younger champion who he is training up.

Tactics
Charge
If facing a High Elf or someone with The Other Trickster's Shard, send in Kvist first to soften them up, otherwise send in Einar first.

Five more teams to go!

[grumbaki]

Five more teams to go!

Can't wait

[w3rm]

Oh hey we doing this again?

Here's w3rms pair

Guttsorn

Ogre Butcher

Throw all the dice at savage beast of horros.

Kurrak Wildcaller

Beastman Bray Shaman

These two might wizards of the wild ways soon teamed up to try and conquer the arena of death. One liked to summom large beasties to hit things. The other liked to hit big beasties. It's not hard to figure out who does what.

The lovers had met on Match.com.
He tall, dark, brooding, rich, hundreds of servents, Viscount with his own castle....minor monsterism
She, robust, buxtom, luscious goldern flowing hair...platted into her beard.
It wasnt exactly love at first sight, but in this day and age who has time to be fussy

But when the last petal fell from the rose and a monster he remained, the Beast flew into a collosal rage.
Selling his enchanted chinawear to some traveling greeks, he armed himself and his beloved and decided to hunt down the wizard who cast his beastly curse.
With nothing left to eat off, natually, his bride followed....

....Who disturbs my slumber.....[/I]

Three cheers for old faces

[TheOneHawk]

So in.

Seth Daemonchild

Exalted Hero
Talisman of Endurance
MoT
Book of Secrets (Death)
Armour of Damnation
Shield
Conjoined Homonculus

245

Tactics: Cast Spirit Leech on two dice. Then cast Fate of Bjuna on 3 dice. If any dice are gained from lore attribute, use them to cast curse of Laniph on a maximum of 2 dice. If at any point a casting is failed by three or less, use conjoined homonculus.

The Wanderer

Exalted Hero
Mark of Khorne
Hellfire Sword
Potion of Strength
Stream of Corruption
Charmed Shield

245

Pop the potion in the first round of combat every time. If they survive that, pop the breath weapon as well.


Seth Daemonchild renamed himself after his father, a Chaos Lord of great fame, ascended to the status of a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch. Feeling overshadowed by his father's accomplishments, he set out to prove himself on his own. While not as great a warrior as his father, he soon gathered a decent warband to himself. One night, returning from a successful raid of a small Empire village, they were attacked by a single madman. Known only as the Wanderer, and driven insane by the visions of his helm, he set into the Seth's warriors. None could touch him, he was too fast, too strong, and his armour was seemingly impenetrable. He fought through the entire warband, destroying all of them with ease, until he stood before Seth. Then, a vision revealed itself to him from the helm, and his rampage ceased. He spoke three words to Seth, then none ever again. "Arena of Death."

Not the greatest fluff ever, but workable I think. Probably not the greatest characters, either, but we'll see.

Question, how long will the effect from the glaive last? The one fight, the whole match, or the whole tourny?

Send in the Wanderer first against mages, and Seth first against combat characters.

[grumbaki]

Actually I liked the fluff. Not sure what the whip will do in the arena though, might want to confirm it before fighters are finalized

[TheOneHawk]

I'm gonna have to redo the wanderer anyways, since I re-read the rules and Mal nerfed the Helm of Many Eyes down to literally no effect. The idea for the whip was that if he did a wound, the opponent wouldn't be able to attack that round, and I'd have ASF so I'd usually attack before the enemy. The helm was a pretty major part of his fluff, too. Damnit. I'm sure there's a reason for that rule, but I really like that item :/

No chance of an exception on that, Mal? 25 points isn't exactly undercosted for ASF, since it's the exact same price as it is in the main rulebook. Just sayin.

EDIT: Another question, what's your take on a marked character with the book of secrets? One of the three lores given by the item, or their god's lore? Never seen a definitive answer to that.

[Malorian]

One of the the lores listed on the item.

[TheOneHawk]

Need more peoples. I feel it would be helpful if this forum wasn't like 40th on the list.

[grumbaki]

Aye, 2 more people to go. See if you can get a friend to sign up?

[Malorian]

I had one person PM me that will be signing up soon, just just one more and I can start everything off
