Arena of Death Pregame show

Monday. Monday! MONDAY!!! Prepare for skull crushing action!
It's time for the 40K ARENA OF DEAAATH!!!

It has been a long time (about three editions) since we have done the Arena of Death, and we are criminally overdue, so this Labor Day Monday grab your favorite characters and meet us at the ARENA OF DEATH for carnage, carnage, and a bit more CARNAGE!

(To both of my overseas readers, the above makes more sense if you are familiar with the over-the-top commercials we have for Monster Truck events.)

To clarify things, we are playing the olde tyme Arena of Death as first put forth by the Citadel Journal, wayback when (mid-90's). Not any of the various newfangled overdone versions.

The rules are simple. Sixteen named independent characters are picked, then are randomly paired off and fight one on one in a 3'x 3' arena. The winner advances to the next round. Repeat until there is only one.
No Characters who have an AV. Sorry Bjorn!

My shortlist for contestants:
Azreal
Swarmlord
Ghazghkull
Abaddon
Kharn
Yarrick
Deathleaper
Farsight
Dante
Mephiston
Ragnar
The Avatar
Maugan Ra
Jain Zar
Typhus
Plus other surprise guests!

Anyone you want to see?

Now fight for our amusement

  1. You should have every codex represented, so what about Scarbrand and Draigo?

  2. That would be ideal, but none of us have those models. Grey Knights and Daemons are the least represented armies in our group. Perhaps we can proxy.

  3. I'd vote for Trazyn the Infinite or Vargard Obryron.

  4. Trazyn is a great choice, now somebody would have to bring him...
