WHO?S THE BOSS?! ? GEN CON 2012 Who?s the Boss is a casual random caster event. PLAYER RESPONSIBILITIES Logistics Players must bring all their own models, stat cards, dice, measuring devices, markers, and templates they require for play. Tokens representing in-game effects such as focus, fury, spells, and abilities are required and must be kept adjacent to the corresponding model on the table. Warcaster/Warlock models will be provided at the venue. Army Lists List construction for a Who?s the Boss Event is different than standard list construction. For this event, a player will construct a 35 point faction/contract list. You will not include a warcaster/warlock, but will include +5 warjack/warbeast points. Caster specific models can only be included in army lists that are built specifically for that type of caster. For Example, Jim wants to take the Commodore Cannon, he must use the Talion Charter Mercenary Contract. A player can only take the Renegade light warjack in Mercenary Contracts where Magnus is allowed. Theme Forces are not allowed. There are no reinforcements. Modeling and Painting, Model Conversions, Sportsmanship Please refer to these sections in the Steamroller 2012 rules packet for more information. EVENT RULES Schedule This event is scheduled for 4 rounds of gameplay. Pairings Each Round, pairings will be completely randomized. We will try to avoid pairings for local gaming areas. Scenario Each round will be using the Overrun Scenario from the SR2012 rules packet. Death Clock Who?s the Boss?! ? Wheel of Casters Each round, after pairings have been completed, both players will line up to spin the Wheel of Casters. Each player will have 1 spin on the Wheel of Casters. A player is only eligible for a caster/warlock that is not part of their army?s faction. Resolve the space the players spin stops on. Special Event spaces will be resolved only if the player stops on it. If the Wheel stops on an eligible caster, the player will advance to the Table of Casters to pick up that caster for their army for that round. If the Wheel stops on an ineligible caster or empty space, resolve the next space on the wheel in the direction the wheel was spun. A Respin will only be allowed if a player uses his respin token, or if a normal spin does not yield an eligible result in the original space or adjacent one. Who?s the Boss?! ? Table of Casters Once the game has finished and results turned in, both players will return the casters and cards to the appropriate section on the Table of Casters. WARCASTER / WARLOCK RULES Once your caster has been chosen, the following rules apply.
- The caster becomes a Friendly faction model and gains all the benefits of being a caster of that game system. IE: A Khador army gets Thagrosh the Messiah as its caster, Thagrosh becomes a Focus 7 warcaster, being able to use overboost armor. A Circle army obtains The Harbinger of Menoth, she will become a fury 10 warlock, and be able to transfer damage to eligible beasts in her battlegroup.
- Focus and Fury manipulation of the caster will change as part of the army?s parent game system.
- Warjack and Warbeast text on the casters card will change as part of the army?s parent game system with the exception of offensive spells or offensive abilities. Offensive spells or abilities wording remains unchanged on the card.
- Abilities and Spell effects on the caster cards that add Focus will remove Fury in a Hordes army.
- Abilities and Spell effects on the caster cards that remove Fury will add Focus in a Warmachine army.
- Elite Cadre and similar abilities of the warcaster/warlock are lost unless the defined models exist in the army they are playing for. Thagrosh the Messiah would not spawn a lesser warbeast/warjack when taking 5 damage since lesser warbeast models only exist in a Legion of Everblight army. There is no such model as a lesser warjack. Forward Kommander Sorscha?s elite Cadre WinterGuard would not work if she was leading a Cryx army.
- Abilities/spells that heal/repair will change as part of the army?s parent game system.
- Animosity and Abilities that specify caster battlegroup types are removed from their card.
