VC Delta "Volcarren"

• Each player brings one army of up to 430 points, with a maximum of 18 figures.
  • An army can contain more than 18 figures, but only 18 figures may be placed on the battlefield each game. Rechets of Bogdan, and Bound Heroes of the Acolytes of Vorganund count toward these limits.
• Valhalla Customs (C3V + SoV) figures are allowed. See these Valhalla Customs resources:

  • C3V/SoV Inclusive Power Rankings
  • C3V/SoV Question Dump
• The "Points" value on all Army Cards will be replaced by their Delta VC cost. We are using the current (June) update with 1 exception.
  Obsidian Guards cost 60 points instead of 65.
  See these Delta resources:
  • Delta: Latest Updates and Discussion

Maps
All maps will use the Volcarren Wasteland terrain expansion set and will all feature Molten Lava in some capacity. Time to break out your Obsidian Guards and Fire Elementals!

Stygian Rift by Typhon2222 with Dagmar (Initiative +8 ) and ScapeCon Attack Glyph (Attack +1, once per OM).


Vault of the Lava Stone by Ulysses with 4 Treasure Glyphs.


Desolation: Lava Edition by Flash_19 and Vydar_XLIII with Valda (Move +2) and Wannok (Wound).

Immolate by Dignan with 4 Treasure Glyphs.


Lava Hot Springs by Sir Heroscape with no glyphs.


Stechavan OLD Version by Shurrig with 4 Treasure Glyphs.
(Intentionally using the old version, more Molten Lava and 4 glyph spots)


Treasure Glyphs
For all maps that specify Treasure Glyphs, the following list of 6 glyphs will be shuffled and 4 of the 6 will be placed symbol-side up where indicated before each game. The other two will be placed out of the game and will remain unknown.

Trap: If you roll 1-5 the figure attempting to pick up the glyph takes 1 automatic wound.

Count me in!

[gbizzy]

Oh this is gonna be fun you've been killing it with the formats!

I'll be there for the lava throwing and dinner after! I'm still waiting on the rest of the Salisbury crew to get back to me but for now Scared Cultist, ItWasJonathan, SimpleSamaritan, and Mark are attending the event and dinner as well.

Also, I can bring maps! Just let me know what you need

[Sir Heroscape]

Thanks for picking one of my maps! Excited to hear about its debut at a tournament event!

[Vydar_XLIII]

I just got word from the Delta Team and there are 2 relevant bits of information for us.

1) The September Update will not go live until AFTER this tournament. Meaning we will be playing under the June update list with 1 exception,

2) Obsidian Guards will be 60 points, not the current 65. This change is planned for the September update, but I get to spoil it early for us.

[Earl_of_Sandwich]

Sadly I will not be able to make this one The format looks super fun though!

Glad to have you two!

----------

I plan to have the last of the maps and glyphs posted this weekend.

[Vydar_XLIII]

Map and Glyph Pool have been updated and finalized!

I will need volunteers for 4 of the maps since I only have 3 lava sets.
