Thrall Harvest Charity Tournament on Saturday 11/28

November 28th - ThrallHarvest Charity Tournament to Benefit the York County Food Bank

Once again Comic Store West is proud to be hosting a Thrall Harvest tournament. This is a mixed Warmachine and Hordes event to help those in our community without enough to eat.

We will be accepting donations of canned food and in return the player will receive tokens that can be spent to break the rules.

Some of the effects generated by can donations include:

• Re-rolling one die
• Forcing your opponent to re-roll one die
• Move terrain before the game starts.

Schedule

Registration Opens at Noon

Table Setup at 12:50pm

Dice Roll at 1:00pm

Each player should bring one 750pt army list, either Hordes or Warmachine. Turns will not be timed and the only measure of victory is survival.

The registration fee for this event is 10 cans of food.

Where: The Comic Store West

Tournament Details:
The tournament will consist of 3 rounds of 30 stone scraps. The strategies will be Holiday themed, and there is the possibility of special Holiday schemes. Players may bring 2 crews/lists for their chosen faction. When it is time to hire crews, players can choose whichever crew they'd like for that round. Each round will have a 90 minute time limit. Prizes are at this time to be announced, but willl be determined by participation level.

Painting Competition:
The painting competition will be for any single Wyrd miniature. The judging will be based on the criteria used for the Single Figure category at Gen Con. If you have entered the same model for this year's Rotten Harvest contest, it will not be eligible for this competition. Wyrd has also agreed to provide some generous prize support for this competition, and the competition entries will be photographed and sent to Wyrd. They might even end up in the next issue of the Wyrd Chronicles. There will be prizes for the top 3 models.

Story: Several weeks ago you began feeling a desire to leave your tribesmen and travel into the east. As the weeks passed the compulsion grew to a point where you could no longer resist the urge. As you walk eastward away from your tribe you begin to feel a tingle of something powerful growing within you. Several days you wander towards the horizon as snow storms batter your cold skin, but something deep inside feels warm… hot even, to the point where you can’t even feel the winter around you. As you close on the mountains that used to be so distant, you notice colorful lights dancing in the sky over a desolate snow-covered ruin. You step up to the open arch of the ruin and notice several pairs of fresh snowy footsteps on the stone floor inside. Stepping through the doorway you feel a sudden burst of power explode through your veins as a voice in your head echoes “There can be only one!”
