Donate like you got a pair! Foodmachine is an annual food drive for local charities. You bring cans, you get to break rules during games of Warmahordes! This is an international event with a multitude of prizes from the organizers. Results are submitted to them after the tournament, and the events and people who donate the most will be rewarded for their charity!
Tournament rules: 35 pts, one list required, second list optional. No reinforcements. Character restriction if you take two lists. $5 entry fee. Registration at 10am, dice drop at 11am. Strength of schedule tiebreakers, with CP and AP following. Top 3 get Steamroller coins!
And here is what you can do with all those cans, which will be redeemed for tokens before the tournament. You can spend the tokens for the following benefits:
During your game, you may donate 1 canned good to:
1. Add +1 to your initiative die roll per can donated. Secretly decide a number of cans to donate
and after your opponent decides how many cans to donate, reveal the total bonus amount
and then roll for initiative.
2. Re-roll 1 of your dice. Each subsequent time you break this rule, whether for it’s for the
same die or a different die, the cost to break this rule doubles. For example the 1st re-roll=1
can, 2ndre-roll=2 cans, 3rd re-roll=4 cans, 4th re-roll=8 cans. The cost resets back to 1 can
at the start of your next turn. You cannot re-roll the initiative roll.
3. Force your opponent to re-roll 1 of his/her dice. Each subsequent time you break this rule,
whether for it’s for the same die or a different die, the cost to break this rule doubles. The
cost resets back to 1 can at the start of your opponent’s next turn. You cannot force a re-roll
your opponent’s initiative roll.
4. Shift damage one column/branch to the left or right or shift grids on a Colossal/Gargantuan
once per damage roll.
During your game, you may donate 3 cans to:
1. SATED: Trigger 'Shake Effects' on a warcaster/warlock or warjack/warbeast instead using
of using Focus/Fury. Can only be used once per turn on one warcaster/warlock or
warbeast/warjack.
2. FREE LUNCH: Give your warcaster/warlock an extra focus/fury point during the control
phase. This may be in excess of their focus/fury stat, but does not change the stat itself.
Your warcaster/warlock receives this focus even if other effects do not normally allow him
focus/fury points. Can only be used once per turn.
3. DINNERTIME!: Generate 1 free non-charge power attack. Each subsequent time you break
this rule per turn, the cost to break this rule doubles. The cost resets back to 3 cans at the
start of your next turn.
4. REMEMBER REINHOLDT: Measure the distance between any 2 models on the board at
any time.
You may donate 10 cans to:
1. STARVATION: At the start of your game, force an opponent’s advance deploy model/unit to
lose the advance deploy ability. Decide this after seeing your opponent’s list but before you
roll for the initiative roll. Can only be used once per game.
2. At the start of your game, give 1 non-character jack/beast (non Colossal/Gargantuan)
HUNGRY. HUNGRY adds +1 MAT, RAT, DEF, and ARM to the stat line for the duration of
the game. Can only be used once per game.
3. GAUNT: At the start of your game, prior to the starting roll, designate one of your warrior
model/units to have Terror. Can only be used once per game.
4. FRIENDS IN NEED: Designate one Mercenary or Minion models/unit as a friendly Faction
model/unit for one game round. 12
The following cheats can only be used once per tournament. Once paid for they are in force for the
duration of the tournament.
You may donate 50 cans to:
1. Take one out-of-faction non character (non Colossal or Gargantuan) Warjack or Warbeast
for your Warcaster or Warlock (respectively). This Warjack or Warbeast counts as a friendly
Faction model. May only be used for a single Warjack or Warbeast per tournament.
You may donate 75 cans to:
1. Take one out-of-faction Character Warjack or Warbeast for your Warcaster or Warlock
(respectively). This Warjack or Warbeast counts as a friendly Faction model. May only be
used for a single Warjack or Warbeast per tournament.
2. Take one out-of-faction battle engine for your army. This model counts as a friendly Faction
model. May only be used for a single battle engine once per tournament.
You may donate 100 cans to:
1. Take one out-of-faction Colossal or Gargantuan for your Warcaster or Warlock
(respectively). This Colossal or Gargantuan counts as a friendly Faction model. May only be
used for a single Colossal or Gargantuan per tournament.
The Foodmachine organizers have suggested that a "can" be around 12-14oz, so don't try to game the system with Vienna sausages! Cans of that size will be "half a can".
