I thought I sent you his rules, oh well I'll send them again -_-

There is no magic phase, so MR and levels are irrelevant

What about bound items, like the Deathmaster's bands of power etc?

An eshin Triad costs 210 points for a three-rat team.

Tullaris with a black ark full of Executioners, looking for towns to ransack, and destroy :)

Hey, he's a dark elf, and a really really evil one at that; it's just for kicks :)
Here's the jig, you don't have to agree with what i say, you can tell me that you don't... Just don't expect me to care.

Okay I'll limit the numbers to 16. We'll start when we get that many or I get bored of waiting.

I posted this guy, but then decided that was completely abusing the game. In all seriousness, I would like to ask you to reconsider the Deathmaster, because even though there are many high-powered characters in the arena, none of them can match the sheer destructiveness of the Deathmaster, nor do they have rules that will allow them to trump any foe, particularly in this arena.

Well, Luthor has got a sour throat (yeah, belive that one...) and in his place I send...

High queen Khalida Neferher!!! She is escorted by a Tomb guard...

Can the units have a magic banner?

A man clad in armour and with an aura of light steeps forward and showes the Tomb Queen aside:

"Should I be replaced by a blasphemous creature like that... atchooo... Never! SIGMAR!!!... Atchoo"

Luthor is led away by some helpers convincing him that making Valten catch the flu is not a good thing to do...

I guess Khalida will be smashed to pieces, since she lacks the protections everyone else has, but I give her a go anyway...

There where pillars of dust as the enemy army made their progress towards the position of the Khemrians.
Khalida watched in cold rage how the foreigners dared to try and march into her realm, probably bent on claiming the wealth so carefully hoarded through thousands of years.
At the head of her resolute and loyal Tomb guard, she rised her staff in signal to the archers cunningly positioned on the high ground on each flank. They readied themselves. Soon the enemy would know the full furry of the Lybaras archers and their divine protector, the Asp Goddess.

She nodded toward the champion of her guard.

"Forward, we shall move and meet these plunderers head on!"

Drycha, leading a group of 12 dryads. 510pts

Note, Drycha has a rule that makes her giving an extra attack after each wound she suffers. This gives her an infinite number of attacks! See it this way:
If GW would have wanted Drycha to have a maximum of 7 attacks they would have written: ..for each unsaved wound she suffers... That is not how it is written in Warhammer armies:Wood Elves. Conclusion: She can gain an infinite number of attacks!

She and her handmaidens are my contestors in this clash!
Only the ruthless survive.

You mean she has potentially infinite attacks. She will, as her rules state, get one extra attack for each wound inflicted before her ward save. But most people have magical wepaons, so chances are she won't get one, so it pretty much works out the same.

Yes! All you need to do is pick a special character that hasn't been picked (see first post) and tell me what they are doing with their army, and which unit (if any) they are in. I will roll dice to see what happens in the fight and write it up to be more of a story/battle report. The winner progresses to the next round to fight another foe (restored to full stats). The ultimate winner will go in the hall of fame.

Is this a Special Character (like, for example, the Green Knight)? Also, please do not post copyrighted material: PM it to me. Also I don't need the cost of the unit, I just need to know it for the purposes of writting thee thing up.

Great. PM me his stats and points cost. I assume he can be mounted on a normal horse instead of his hippogriff?

Monsters would skew it too much. As he's a bret I'll let him have a horsey.

Units are not fighting, just the characters.

The units are just there to cheer the character on, and for Yak to write any fluff etc

@Yak: My question still stands; what about bound magic items, like the Deathmaster's bands of power etc?
