Who's The Boss
It's happening again! Yes, I will be running the second annual Who's The Boss event just in time for Christmas, featuring some of last year's shenanigans and a few new wrinkles.
For the rules, I have shamelessly stolen Snowy's wording:
You will bring one list, but with no warcaster/warlock. Don't bring Journeymen/women either! This includes the lesser warlocks as well.
List size is 35 points, plus +5 jack/beast points (ie you bring one list of 40 points).
No theme forces are allowed.
Each round, you will generate a caster from the big bag of tokens. [Yes, they're bingo tokens. Shush.]
Some of the tokens will be special events, such as a redraw token, double cross token, emergency redraw and jackpot tokens. Once drawn, these aren't going back in the bag.
You can't generate a caster for your own faction, re-draw if you do.
Everyone will get one redraw at the start of the day.
Also, a few other rules to note:
Once your caster has been chosen, the following rules apply.
The caster becomes a Friendly faction model and gains all the benefits of being a caster of that game system. IE: A Khador army gets Thagrosh the Messiah as its caster, Thagrosh becomes a Focus 7 warcaster, being able to use overboost armor. A Circle army obtains The Harbinger of Menoth, she will become a fury 10 warlock, and be able to transfer damage to eligible beasts in her battlegroup.
Focus and Fury manipulation of the caster will change as part of the army’s parent game system.
Warjack and Warbeast text on the casters card will change as part of the army’s parent game system with the exception of offensive spells or offensive abilities. Offensive spells or abilities wording remains unchanged on the card.
Abilities and Spell effects on the caster cards that add Focus will remove Fury in a Hordes army.
Abilities and Spell effects on the caster cards that remove Fury will add Focus in a Warmachine army.
Elite Cadre and similar abilities of the arcaster/warlock are lost unless the defined models exist in the army they are playing for. Thagrosh the Messiah would not spawn a lesser warbeast/warjack when taking 5 damage in an faction that does not contain a lesser warbeast. There is no such model as a lesser warjack. Forward Kommander Sorscha’s elite Cadre WinterGuard would not work if she was leading a Cryx army.
Abilities/spells that heal/repair will change as part of the army’s parent game system.
Animosity and Abilities that specify caster battlegroup types are removed from their card.
First thing I need from people - Casters! Lots of them. I can supply the Skorne and Retribution casters but anyone who can bring others to help, it will be greatly appreciated.
Changes for this year!
Redraws will be done at the end. So we should rattle through caster allocation and then you can redraw from what's left.
Bankruptcy! I wanted to include this last year, but it didn't happen. This year though. There will be Bankruptcy amongst the tokens - this means you get a journeyman or lesser warlock as your caster for the game. This cannot be redrawn!
There will be a lot less normal redraw tokens (I'm kind of debating having none) simply because the start of each round was taking too long.
Your opponent for each round is RANDOM. This isn't new, I just want everyone to know in advance. Win/Loss record does not matter in Who's the Boss.
Achievements/Points (Whatever they're called) - I need both players to come to me with the scoresheet at the end of the game and confirm these have been actually achieved. It is possible for people to collude and claim loads of them happened, or someone to be a dick and claim their opponent did nothing. I am relying on people not doing this - the event is supposed to be FUN. If you're coming along to win at all costs, don't bother.
There will be fun (well, I'll be laughing at least) random events happening during the round. Some will benefit you, some won't.
Think that's enough for now. You don't need to read all of this, but I'm not accepting any responsibility for you missing stuff if you don't. The important bit is I need help with casters, so bring them please. I will try to arrange a prize for whoever brings the most.

Re: Who's The Boss
Bit of a daft question, but I have read through this post several times now and I have either missed it every time, or its not there, but what's the date for this?
