Rules

No model can cost more than 250pts
Each model can have upto The points limit for said hero or lord (eg it will say you can spend 100 pts on magic items) to spend on magic items normal rules apply though
No model can have killing blow or any item that target one enemy model.
Each character must be named eg i want you to name them make a story etc.
They cannot ride monstrous mounts (mounts with more than one wound)
No special characters
In addition, each one must be accompanied by a background and a description of them for my write ups.

Gaze of the Gods - Same points cost, before the battle roll a D6 - 1 = you get a 6+ ward, 2-3 = you get a 5+ ward, 4-6 = you get a 4+ ward. Such is the fickle nature of chaos.

Warpstone amulet - Same points cost, but roll to see if you die BEFORE the fight instead of afterwards.

The following items are banned, they are found to be too powerful or have an unfair advantage in an Arena game.
Tress of Isolde
Sword of Fate
The Daemon Sword
The Fellblade
The Bane Head
The Grudge Rune
The Talisman of Saphery
Kurbog's Curmudgeonly Klobbera
Virtue of Confidence

How it works

If you have never fought in one of these, the point is to pit two characters against one another, one on one. In all essence it is a challenge in a normal game but with a few differences. Namely, they’re trapped in an arena with the only way out is to kill or be killed.

There is no magic phase or shooting phase, but bound spells are allowed if they are combat orientated. Also if you have a missile weapon you can shoot that before the combat happens. I will roll a match up between two characters until one perishes. The one who remains standing will be the victor and progress to the next round.

The battles will be represented by a ‘story’ format written by myself and following that will be a note of how many wounds were caused by each other in each round. For example:

[ (i) CA: 2 CB: 1 (ii) CA: 1 CB: 3 ] etc

[CA = Character A, CB = Character B, (x) = Round number ]


Combat

- Strike First

- First round of combat
In the first round of combat, both warriors count as charging for the purposes of lances and other special rules. If neither warrior has a 'strike first' ability (or a 'strike last' ability), the person with the highest Initiative will strike first. If both warriors are equally entitled to strike first (usually because they have equal initiative), striking order will be determined randomly.
- Later rounds
In later rounds of combat, neither warrior gets charging bonuses (pretty obvious ). Strike order will be determined using the same system as in the first round of combat - however, in cases of equal initiative, the die to determine strike order is not rolled. Instead, the person who struck first last time will strike first again, combat alternating between each warrior.
- After the Fight
After the fight, the victor advances to the next round. Any wounds they suffer are healed, as well as any other effects (such as the manbane poison: or anything else that permanently reduces statistics). It is as if the last fight never happened!


Psychology

- Break tests
Break tests are ignored in the Arena (where are they going to run in a ring of death?). Other psychology that may force an opponent to flee from combat is also ignored. For this reason, panic, unbreakable and Stubborn also have no effect.

In addition, undead warriors ignore the rule that causes them to take wounds from combat resolution. In a similar manner, daemonic characters do not suffer from instability.

- Fear
Fear is ignored in the arena.

- Hatred
Hatred is handled as normal. The warrior will re-roll failed 'to hit' rolls against hated foes.

- Stupidity
Each turn the warrior will take a Ld test. If failed, a further die will be rolled. On a 1-3, the warrior will strike last, on a 4+ they will strike as normal.

- Frenzy
While there's nowhere to run, you can still have the confidence and fighting frenzy knocked out of you, and therefore models do lose frenzy as normal.


This may seem harsh as in no wizards but lets face it would a wizard rly put himself in an arenas of death

Will still be on even thou we are in the small hall will also be bringing board games

For those that missed it firstly u missed an epic clash well worth the 50p spectator fee. We had andy with his empire gen, chris with his dark elf , Alfie with a tough empire gen, tony with an evil lizard man riding cold one, mark with his mean if I wound u roll a d6 get a 6 u get another wound and me with my dwarf lord. It was brutal andy took chris out I took mark down just with my 1up re rollable armour save after get a wound then another coz he rolls a 6. And tony took down Alfie I desided as the bottom match would go right into the final I chucked chris mark and Alfie back into the arena to clash in a three way. After chris destroying mark and forgetting his war gear which ment he'd have won lost to Alfie tony then beats andy and I loose to Alfie in a long fought fight in he just kept saving and I had no armour save chris then faced tony in a grudge match and stomped him. Tony vs Alfie tony creamed him and wins again to bloody arenas in a row. The me vs andy for 3rd That I stole .

Elvis 3rd
Alfie 2nd
And our arena champion Tony
