The fate of the Old World has long been battled over by the champions of good, who fight for justice and honour, and the servants of evil, who seek dominion and destruction over all else. Yet, even heroes as mighty as Ungrim Ironfist, or villains as cunning as the Bray-Shaman Kralmaw, can only be in one place at a time. As such, each named character may only be included once within a team. This means that multiple players on the same team cannot field the same named character in their muster lists.

For example, Dan wants to include Ogdruz Swampdigga in his Troll Horde, but Rob also wants to take the Troll-loving Shaman in his Orc & Goblin Tribes force. Rather than discuss the pros and cons of who should get to use him, the two of them do what any good Orc & Goblin generals would do and draw battlelines with the armies they intend to use for the event, agreeing that the winner will be allowed to use Ogdruz at the team event and the loser will have to find an alternative. After a close fought battle, Dan emerges victorious and takes Ogdruz to the event, leaving Rob to lick his wounds and amend his muster list.
