Special Character:
Eros (and his mirror image, Soré) is in the House, spreading love wherever he skips. He will play for your team for one full half of each match. Depending on the flip of a coin Eros will be an additional player (possibly a 17th player) available to your team for either the first or second half of the match. Before each match both opponents flip their Eros Counter in front of their opponent. If it lands Hearts Up, Eros is playing for that coach for the first half, if not Eros is playing for them for the second half. This may mean that Eros and his mirror image, Soré, are both on the pitch at the same time. Which is which? An unpainted model will be provided for Eros, however if you want to interpret this character in your own way, by bringing your own model, please do.

Eros / Soré
MA ST AG PA AV
7 3 2+ 2+ 8+

Skills: Accurate, Dodge, Hypnotic Gaze, Leap, Loner 5+, Really Stupid.


Death Will Not Part Us:
The bond of love between coaches may prove stronger than even Death. If a player dies on the pitch (becomes a “DEAD, Dead” Casualty, who does not resurrect, for those with the Resurrection Trait,) immediately the coach suffering that Casualty flips their Eros Counter. If it lands “Hearts Up” that player is removed from the Casualty Tent and placed immediately into their Team Mate’s Reserve Bench, where they are available until the end of the match.
The Casualty still counts for the purposes of scoring.
Eros / Soré as the spreader of love, may not transfer teams in this way. When Love Dies it is a bitter blow.

NB: “DEAD, Dead” is the roll of 15 or 16 on the D16 casualty dice.

Team Building.
Coaches have 1.2m gp to build their rostered team. Doubles teams may not have the same race as each other, unless they have been matched by The Matchmaker (TO) on the day. Teams must have a minimum of 11 players, maximum of 16 (excluding Eros.) Once a Tier 1, 2 or 3 team has 11 players they may then employ a single Star Player, not a Mega Star. Tier 4 teams may employ up to 2 Star Players, no Mega Stars, once they have 11 players on their roster. (See Team Tiers below.)

Skill Upgrades
Each Tier will have this many SPP to distribute amongst their players before the tournament:
Tier 1 30
Tier 2 36
Tier 3 42
Tier 4 48

Star Players May not receive extra Skills. No Random skills may be taken. No more than four instances of the same skill may be taken. Skills may be stacked on players, but their cost will be as on p71 of The Official Rule Book.


Tiers.

Tier 1
Orc, Dwarf, Amazons, Skaven, Dark Elf, Wood Elf, Norse, Human, Undead, Underworld, Necromantic Horrors.

Tier 2
Chaos Dwarf, Elven Union, High Elf, Black Orc, Vampire, Tomb Kings, Lizardmen, Imperial Nobility.

Tier 3

Howdee, Coaches of The Shire, and beyond!

After an agonising hiatus in the organisational steam liner that is prepping everything for this sumptuous event, all the chicks are hatching at once - to mix as many metaphors as I can!

The Hall is booked and paid for. we are in the "Small Hall" if we break 24 coaches we'll head into the spacious "Big Hall"

Mr T's Pies are fully on board and will be sorting us out a pie, potato dauphinoise, peas, and gravy. we are all just gonna fall asleep in the afternoon!

Black Orc Down is working up a trophy for the winning Doubles team.

Bubblefuzz is getting a logo together for Pogostick to put on The Coin.

And QueenOfSpawns and I are gluing together and spraying minis.

And NAF are actually on the verge of Sanctioning the event!!!!

Please please hit me up with any dietary requirements you have. give me your double teams names, obviously submit your roster (I will give a special prize to the first Doubles team to successfully submit legal and approved rosters) and cough up the cash!

I am SO looking forward to welcoming you all....

No need to throw shade at other events. Some events have pretty decent food.

I wouldn't read anything into that turn of phrase, it's not intended to mean anything other than Mr T's Pies are rather good.
