I would like to start a competition to decide what the best warlord and retinue is.

The retinue can be Stormvermin, Giant Rats, Clan Rats, Rat Ogres, Plauge Monks or Gutter Runners. Gutter runners can not tunnel. It may include up to 1 other hero besides the Warlord. The units will start 12 appart and the unit with the highest movement will get the charge. If the units have equal move values then they will strike at inititave value. The only exception to this is the banner of burning hatred. In this case the unit will have to test to see if they have to move forward. If they fail this test then the opponent will get the charge. The battle continues until one side has destroyed the other. The only other item that should be noted is the Warpstone Amulet. If you win but you roll a one for this item at the end of the game then the item is destroyed and cannot be used in further rounds

I have decided to allow missile weapons to used. But if you use them you will sacrifice the charge which could be very risky. No weapon teams tho

I will be rolling all the dice . If you win you go on to the next round, if you lose you will be fed to the giant rats and/or your opponents :D

Sample Warlord and Retinue

1 Warlord with Weeping Blade and Warpstone amulet
=160

1 chieftain with Battle Standard of Burning Hatred
=95

20 Storm Vermin with shields, champion musician,
=195

=450

I am thinking of having 16 retinues so PM me if you want to join up
I will not be using my retinue so their shall be no Skaven bias involved -_- . The winner will get to face a Retinue from anouther race.

You may include details on how your unit should be used, otherwise trust my judgement :unsure:

good luck

Sounds interesting, just two questions:

Are there point limits for the heroes and unit?

If they fight to the death, doesn't that miss out on the other CC elements like winning and breaking your opponent via static CR?

units still break normally

also no magic users as this is supposed to be about combat

no limits for characters except that you have to have a Warlord. You may have one other character. You may only have one unit.

you might want to disallow assassins cos if the warlord is killed by an assassin it kinda kills the point of the competition.

Well, the general could always be in the back... :D

Franlkly, you can just as easily kill the opposing general with your general or a Chieftan... so banning assassins won't do much.

Sounds like an AoD.... Mork's in. :D He has sent his retinue.
