All - Since the Leagues just haven't taken off, I'd like to make good use of the prize kits. So when Dustin takes a tourney break, I'll be running some Fun-based events, unconventional formats, etc.
For starters, on Saturday, June 18th we'll have a 35 pt Steamroller with some twists:

- Pick your Faction
- Pick a Warcaster/Warlock NOT from your Faction. They now count as your faction, replacing all instances of <faction name> as appropriate. Elites Cadre and specific unit effects are NOT changed, so cadre bonuses will not get used.
- Build a 35pt list around this "Traitor General"
- Choose another (from any faction BUT yours) and build a second list so you have two to choose from (if you wish).
- Warlocks cannot lead Warmachine armies, Warcasters cannot lead Hordes armies.
- Your two casters can be from two different factions, but your armies must be from ONE faction.
- For obvious reasons, no Theme Forces.
- Also, we'll use some scenarios from the Leagues, so not just the same ol Steamroller stuff.

Example Forces:
- The Harbinger of Menoth leading a Khador Winterguard Force, running a Behemoth and 2 Kodiaks.
- Zerkova leading a Cryx arc-node heavy army.
- Kromac The Ravenous driving a bunch of skorne beasts.
- Absylonia driving Warpwolves to new heights of nasty.
- Bartolo Montador and a slew of Redeemers.
- Karchev the Terrible towing the Deathjack, Nightmare, and Erebus(!)

Fee will be $5 to play, but you'll get the League Rank insignia for playing, and the Big prize will be a League Coin, and maybe some gift certificates if enough show to play.

Any questions?

What about abilities such as Lord Carver's feat, which specifies friendly Farrow models? Or his Farrow Warlock rule that says he can only use Minion Farrow warbeasts in his battlegroup (An ability common to all of the minion warlocks to avoid gators being used by a farrow caster and vice versa)?

Good catch - Treat "farrow" or "gator" as <Faction> just like you would "Minion"

Also, treat "Myrmidon" as "Warjack" for purposes of casters (only).

Since this replaces the League, are the League models allowed?

Not for this event, but there WILL be a future event where ALL the League models are allowed. And maybe other ones where a single season's models are allowed. For this the format is wonky enough to just deal with the traitor caster. :)
