Army Format and restrictions

The Tournament will be using the following format:

General restrictions:

• 2000 points

• Grand Melee

• Mercenaries allowed 

• No allies

• Renegades Rules (NOT DRAFT!!) must be used for your army, if applicable.

• Highlander Army Creation (see below)

• March of Chaos Disastrous Micasts Table (se bottom for reference)
  

The Highlander Army Creation format: 

This format means you are only allowed to pick one unit entry once for

your entire list.

For example, when creating a list for Empire of Man, you can only

select one General of the Empire and one Captain of the Empire, one

Wizard Lord and one Master Mage and so on and so forth.

In addition, you are only allowed to pick one unique entry of mounts

with the 'Monster' or 'Chariot' unit type.

First example: A High Elf Arch Mage cannot take a Star Dragon if a

High Elf Prince also has selected a Star Dragon as his mount but the

High Elf Arch Mage is free to select a Moon Dragon instead.

Second example: A Master Necromancer cannot be mounted on a

Mortis Engine if a Necromantic Acolyte also have selected a Mortis

Engine as his mount but the Master Necromancer is free to select an

Abyssal Terror (should he wish to do so).

Note that characters that count as something also take that spot i.e. Kralmaw

is a Great Bray Shaman, so you cannot pick another Great Bray Shaman, Lady

Lady Élisse Duchaard is a Prophetess so you cannot pick another Prophetess

etc.

Furthermore, some mounts can be taken as a separate choice (like the Arachnarok Spider or the Sky Lantern).
If such a mount is taken, it cannot be taken in its separate respective choice and vice versa.

For example, a Chaos Lord cannot be mounted on a Gorebeast Chariot if a Gorebeast Chariot has already been selected in the Rare Choice. 

Lastly: If an army forces you to bring a unit entry more than once, like

Minotaur Blood Herd, then that requirement overrules the Highlander

restriction.

Disastrous Miscasts table quick reference table 

(will be printed for each table) 

2-3: Roll a scatter die. If you roll an arrow, place the narrow end of the flame template over the center of the wizard’s base and point the wide end in the direction shown by the scatter die. If you roll HIT, instead of using the flame template, center the 5-inch round template over the wizard.
The wizard dies and every model under the template (work out how many partial hits there are) suffers a Strength 10 AP -4 hit.

4-5: Center the 5-inch template over the wizard and every model under it (work out the partials) suffers a Strength 8 AP -3 hit. In addition, the wizard can no longer cast any more spells this turn.

6-7: Center the 3-inch template over the wizard and every model under it (work out the partials) suffers a Strength 6 AP -2 hit.

8-9: The wizard suffers a Strength 4 AP -1 hit and, until the end of the battle, suffers a -1 modifier to his casting rolls. If this happens again, these negative casting modifiers ARE cumulative with no limit.

10-11: The wizard and his unit Give Ground directly away from the nearest enemy (if for any reason they cannot do so, the wizard suffers a Strength 6 AP -2 hit). In addition, until the end of the battle, the wizard suffers a -1 modifier to his casting rolls. If this happens again, these negative casting modifiers ARE cumulative with no limit.

12: The spell is cast with Perfect Invocation and the wizard reduces his Wizard Level by 1 and forgets the spell he just cast. In addition, the wizard cannot cast any more spells this turn.
