Slay Bells Ring 2

Each person may take for free the following Living Legend character as part of their main army: The Reaper does not use one of your Hero, War Engine or Monster Slots.

Death is inevitable, and therefore, The Reaper is not represented as purely evil. Death is not choosing a time, place or years. The Reapers job is to escort the dead to the underworld. The Reaper pulls the souls out of the body, and guides them through the journey of the afterlife.

The angel of death appears to the dying to take out their souls. The sinners' souls are extracted in a most painful way while the righteous are treated easily.

The Reapers appearance depends on the person's deed and actions, with those that did good seeing a beautiful being, and those that did wrong seeing a horrific monster. The Reaper has taken many forms including: A bearded and winged man; a young boy, a spectral figure portending death, a tall, haggard figure with a wide hat and long white hair, a skeleton with a revolving head who sees everyone, everywhere, a defleshed body and with jaw agape to swallow the stars during the day, an old woman or plague hag. The Reaper has been seen by different races in either a Black or a White robe.

The High Paladins of Basilea, order the destruction of a being they view as bringing chaos to Mantica. The beings "crimes", granting children of all races wishes on KoWelmass eve and bringing them presents, a god-like creature who is known as Krampus.

OK, he does boil and whip naughty children, but who wants to hear spoilt bratts over KoWelmass.

Together the sisterhood and priests spread rumour and discourse and used the Wizards to bewitch the children of all races to no longer believe in Krampus.

Knowing that the Krampus is also responsible for the moon giving way to the sun each day which people have forgotten, The Reaper attempts to maintain belief in Krampus by dressing up and fulfilling his role.

Ho Ho Ho.

See Tournament Scenarios for further info on the different balancing adjustments.

Protect Santa/Krampus

The objective is to get your Krampus over the half way line and keep it alive, while hunting down the opponents Krampus.

Victory Points are awarded at the end of the game as follows:

- - 2 Victory Points for killing opponents Krampus unit in Melee phase or 1 Victory Point for killing opponents Krampus unit in Shooting phase
  - 1 Victory Point if your Krampus unit is still alive on your half of the board or 2 Victory Points if your Krampus unit is still alive on your opponents half of the board
  - Add up the points cost of the routed enemy units.
    - 235pts-469pts = 1 Victory Points,
    - 470pts-704pts = 2 Victory Points,
    - 705pts or more = 3 Victory Points

Presents from Santa

Before deploying armies. Place 1 Tokens/Presents in the exact centre of the board.

3 Tokens/Presents are then placed on opponents side of the centre line, but outside the deployment zones.

Giving a total of 7 Tokens/Presents

Players rolling off to see who places theirs first.

Tokens/Presents cannot be placed within 12" of each other.
Tokens/Presents cannot be placed within 12" of deployment edge.
Tokens/Presents can only be placed on opponents half of the table.

Tokens/Presents

Treat presents like loot tokens you cannot drop, but that they also do not carry any movement penalties or restrictions i.e. can be wind blasted, surged and enthralled.

To open the present and claim the VP, the unit must be given either a HALT order or Counter Charge order.

If a unit gives a HALT order while over a Tokens/Presents, they have picked it up and opened it.

If the unit is given the Counter Charge Order they may also open the Tokens/Present, but will be attacking with a -1 penalty.

Presents will contain a random present and are worth 1VP when collected (progressive scoring).

The unit is NOT considered holding a token, therefore movement and ability to target is unaffected.

If unit with a present is destroyed, the VP is destroyed along with the unit.

You can leave a present unopened where it is, so another unit can open it.

You cannot move with an unopened present.

You cannot pass on or leave an opened present, once it has been opened it is that units.

On a turn that you start with a unit on top of a present you have 3 choices of action:

Halt Order - counts as opening the present (roll on table). Gain 1VP.
Counter Charge Order - counts as opening the present (roll on table). Gain 1VP. -1 to hit in combat for the rest of the turn.
Leave Present - Present is not opened. No roll on table. No VP gained. Unit may act normally.

Types of presents

When you open a present, roll D6 and consult the table below

1-3 Nice Spirt of KoWelmass, remove rolled number of damage
4-6 Naughty Present Explodes and does rolled number of wounds minus 3 (ie roll a 4 take 1 wound), no nerve check

Victory conditions:

Total the Victory points earned per present

The winner is the side with the most VP.

If a Draw then congrats you are equally naughty and nice.

Wrack and Ruin

Place an Objective Marker in the exact centre of the centre line.

Place 2 more Markers 18" from the edges of the centre line, the scoring zones for these are within 12" of these markers.

At end of rounds 3, 4 and 5, add up the Unit Strength of all your units that have the majority of their footprint within 12" of each edge marker, highest Unit Strength within each circle gains 1 Victory Point per circle.
1 Victory Point for holding the Objective Marker
