Le Grand Melee is a league i'm holding at my local GW in Glendale, CA. We will be holding special in shop events every fortnight. Generals will be crowned and dethrone for each faction. Also you can post your winning into the global campaign. You may also be interested in joining in our painting competition that will run along side this event. Usually the painting competition will highlight units that would be key to the particular missions for the big events.  We welcome anyone in the area who is interested in joining. 

A more fluffy and fun read can be had below for the initial invitation, and later on the 4th of july the mission for this week will be posted. I welcome anyone who attends to use this threat to schedule related pick up events in this forum, and to use this thread or PM if you have any questions on the events. 

The most important part of this campaign is to have, and if at any time you experience a lack of fun feel free to yell at me. It will usually result in me running around flapping my hands in fear... which results in fun for you.

A Meeting At the Cross Roads:

Prolog Fluff:

 

Your invitation has instructed you to meet at a clearing just off the road from here.  You and your troops have circled around and it seems to be a small dense forest that lays before you. From the forest you can feel a strong energy tugging at you, but you can't put your finger quite on what it is. All you truly know is that you’re going to need to brave this forest, but you can't just marsh your whole army in here. It seem just right for a trap, where a large force could easily become trapped between the trees Even Seraphon, Stormcast, or Daemon champions couldn't just warp their force to the center of this forest as the magic here would more than likely repel any outside forces. You see three possible options or combination of options before you:

 

If you’re a powerful summoner with minions at your fingertips; you could simply walk into the forest alone, and act as a conduit to summon your forces with you should you need them.

 

Perhaps if you had a powerful steed such as a Dragon or a Stardrake you could rip through the forest, but you know the wake of your destruction would leave the rest of your army unable to follow.

You also surmise that taking a small detachment into your forest would leave just enough room for everyone to operate effectively, even in the case of a trap.

 

Either way you know you must make it to the center of this forest for the opening ceremony of Le Grande Melee, where power has been promised for you and your faction...

Your trek through to the clearing had a few wild creatures that charged your group aiming for you as if you had somehow personally wronged them.  Though they proved to be no match for your forces, and you made it to the clearing. Here the power that you felt earlier overtakes you completely.

 

You look upon an ancient sarcophagus overgrown with moss and vines. You can feel power bleeding out from the coffin, filling you with anger. You know your faction could be doing better in this war, a fact paramount for the existence of you and those you hold dear. If only you were in charge . . . mind wandering reliving the wrongs the world has done, a need for vengeance grows strong.  You look at the sarcophagus as if peering through the green stained grey stones and the power inside promises to be the answer to all problems. Once this vessel is opened it’s powers promise to aid you and your faction, sure to bring a swift end to this war.

 

Lifting your head and looking forward, seeing . . . yourself? No, they are one of a rival faction. Your kin in thought alone stares back. Both of you look at each other filled with so much hatred, but also understanding that this chest is what could tip the scales. You notice your foe has already armed themselves, and you realize that you too are armed.

Fluff for this week:

The Dust settles and all around you, you see the other champions. It would seem Manfrad stand unharmed, but everyone else seems to have some losses to thier ranks. Even as Manfred stand victorious he stand alone as the only death presence. That is save for one figure who seems out of place.  As you look around you can tell destruction faired well, the ogres, goblins, and orcs all bump chest and jeer eagerly. Chaos and order though more numourous than the other factions, all look concerned. They know they have been bested by superior forces and worry for the next conflict to come. Everyone gets ready for one more fight. . . 

 

Suddenly the one who stood ignore among the presence of death appears between all the armys. He stand at the crossroads blocks each combatant from their foes. He speaks, "You all fought well," he almost shrieks out, " It would seem the forces of destruction will be something to fear, but doubt ignore death. Chaos and Order had better rethink thier strategy if they wish to win this game. Now then, Welcome to Le Grande Melee!!!! I am Garry your Master of Ceromonies, and host to Le Grande Melee."

 

He goes on to explain the rules of the game, and you feel your coin purse grow heavy as magical doubloons fill your pouches. The true games, apparently are just around the corner.
 

Dabloons Many of you have your "Dabloons" those are the silver colored bases with your factions color around the rim. You can use them to score points throughout the week. Simply wager as many as you wish against your opponent before each game.  Your own factions coins are only worth 1 point to you, no matter the shape. Other faction coins are worth 2 points, and if your not a general circle bases are worth 3 points.  Turn this in Sunday or at least by the following friday. You can leave them at the store in a bag for me to collect with your name and faction on it.

 

Sunday, have 500 to 1k points. Generals make sure you bring 1k points. Battle line units are buffed for this event. Rules will be given out on sunday. Along with the lore.
