The “Breakfast Menu” #
At this event we are providing a list (a menu if you will) of upgrades that all players have access to. You may pick a maximum of 5 items from the menu. No model may be given more than one item from the breakfast menu, their eyes are not bigger than their bellies (even if yours are). The cost of each breakfast item is listed, this is what it will cost to add it to your list
You will need to clearly mark on your army list what model has what breakfast item. All upgrades from the breakfast menu must be modelled or represented clearly on the model carrying them. This is to prevent any confusion to your opponent.
A note on Unique items: A Unique Weapon is a named weapon such as, Anduril Flame of the West, Narsil, or Stone Flail. Unique Wargear is a named item such as The One Ring, The Horn of Helm Hammerhand, The Armour of Gondolin, The Crown of Morgul or Any named mount
Guest drinks may not be given items from the menu! (they’re on the menu after all!).
