You are given 1,200,000 gold pieces to build your team. You may purchase players, rerolls, fan factor, coaches, and cheerleaders as normal with this money.


Wizards, Journeymen, Special Play cards of any kind, Mercenaries (with the exception of GIANTS), the Halfling Hot Pot, and inducements from the Matched Play Guide and various White Dwarf Issues are NOT ALLOWED. You may purchase any other inducements for your team including Star Players. *If in doubt, please reach out to the Tournament Organizer for pre-approval before submitting your roster.*


Note: If you are including a Star Player OR a Giant, you must have 11 players on your team BEFORE hiring them. Having 10 players plus a Star or GIANT is not allowed. Remember: You can not have the same Star Player as your opponent. If both of you attempt to field the same player, then that star player has swindled you both!! Neither of you can field them. Also, you cannot use Igors or Apothecaries on Star Players.


**All new star players from the Second Season Edition and subsequent Spike Journals will be allowed. Second Season Edition has given Star Players each their own "Special Rule". If you have a Star Player on your roster, you are expected to explain the "Special Rule" to your opponent. Please use the Chaos Cup Coin to represent when the Star Player has spent his special, once per game rule.**


Being the NAF North American Major and the move towards Tiering... we will now be tiering races and providing Star Player Points for skills based on the tier that race is in - as follows:


Tier 1 teams get 42 SPP to spend:

Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Human, High Elf, Lizardmen, Necromantic Horror, Norse, Orcs, Shambling Undead, Skaven, Underworld Denizens, Wood Elf


Tier 2 teams get 54 SPP to spend:

Black Orc, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegade, Elven Union, Imperial Nobility, Khorne, Nurgle, Old World Alliance, Slann, Snotlings, Tomb Kings, Vampire


Tier 3 teams get 66 SPP to spend:

Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Ogre


Primary Skills are 6 SPP / Secondary Skills are 12 SPP. No Stat increases. Maximum four (4) of any skill type. You may put a second Primary skill on a player, but it counts as a Selected Primary Skill (may not put a Secondary Skill and Primary on one player - may not add skills to Star Players). A single player with TWO Primary Skills will cost 14 SPP.


Star Players - in addition to their hiring fee - stars will cost you an extra 12 SPP Due to popularity and market demand... Current GW MEGA STARS (see current FAQ) Bomber Dribblesnot, Cindy Piewhistle, Deeproot Strong Branch, Morg n Thorg, Griff Oberwald, Hackflem Skuttlespike, and Kreek Rustgouger cost 18 SPP (not 12) and ONLY 1 Mega Star is Allowed!!!
