They're up on eBay, along with a 2013 Walpurgis / Adepticon Fate Deck. Please feel free to spread the word and make an offer, if you like: https://www.ebay.com/usr/jgraham612?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

I’ve decided that, given that I’ve played one game of Malifaux 2e when it was first released and haven’t touched it since, It’s likely time to send my Malifaux crews to a new home. I thought I’d try the forum for a bit before going to eBay. Unless otherwise stated, these are the classic, original metal Malifaux models. They are lovingly painted in a very distinctive, eye-catching style. They tend to do exceedingly well in tournament scoring for best painted. I’m not willing to paint additional models, but I’m more than happy to provide the specific paint “recipes” that were used for the models, and to give some friendly advice on how to capture the style if you’re wanting to commission more models in a similar style from someone else. A word on pricing – these models are mostly OOP metal models that have been lovingly painted to a high standard. I’m not really looking for a trade. At this point I won’t split up painted crews. Shipping to the US is included. International shipping would be additional. Thanks for looking! Dreamer Crew Using Warstore discounted prices, these models would be about $130 in the current (unassembled, unpainted) plastics. These are assembled OOP metals, painted to a high quality. I’m asking $300, US shipping included. I also believe I have some of the additional base inserts I used to toss in (sculpted by yours trulty, cast by Black Cat). The full album is here: https://imgur.com/a/7IWrq 2 x Teddy Lord Chompy Bits Lilitu Lelu 2 x Stitched Togethers Collidi Insidious Madness alternative model Insidious Madness (I think it is an old metal D&D aberration of some sort?) 3 x Daydreams Dreamer Unpainted: 3 Primed Alps 2 Unpainted Headless Alps (with no heads – spooky!) Ressurectionists Using Warstore prices, the current (unassembled, unpainted) models would cost over $300, not including Seamus’s Avatar of Dread (going for $100+ unpainted on eBay) or the two Nightmare Edition models (Lady J and the Judge), the laser-cut markers, or the Ressurectionist Lab terrain. These are assembled, mostly OOP metals, painted to a high quality. I’m asking $900, US shipping included. I’ll also throw in a laser-cut turn/soulstone counter and a bunch of tokens and status effect basehuggers. The full album is here: https://imgur.com/a/mUEFR Nicodem 7 plastic Mantic zombies (used as Mindless Zombies) McMourning Flesh Construct 2 x alternative model Flesh Constructs (I believe one is West Wind and one is Reaper) Alternative model Rogue Necromancy (plastic, converted from a GW Dire Wolf) Sebastian Zombie Chihuahua Canine Remains Seamus Seamus Avatar of Dread (resin) 3 x Rotten Belles Madame Sybelle Copycat Killer Necropunk Jack Daw Bette Noir Killjoy Convict Gunslinger Necropunk 3 x Crooked Men 2 x Ressurectionist Lab scenery pieces (West Wind, I think) Unpainted/Primed: 3 x Canine Remains Mortimer 2 x Necropunks 2 x Hanged Grave Spirit 2 x Nurses 3 x Zombie Punks OOP LE Unpainted metal: Undead Headless Lady Justice Undead Judge

Yes, yes, and yes again. Preferably Insidious Madness. If not, than a Silurid. Miss Carriage (tasteless!) Miss Take Miss Shapen (a horrible resser abomination, possibly a flesh construct?)

Yea! Thank you mysterious and unidentified moderator Also - Funded!! With the Human Corps stretch goal added.

Cursed auto-correct! EDIT: Cursed inability to edit topic headers! Thanks for the heads-up, Goat. If someone with topic-edit privileges happens by this thread, could I ask you to correct the title to "Worldsmith"?

I hope maybe you could indulge me in a bit of shameless self-promotion? Perhaps in the guise of miniature-related news? I just launched a Kickstarter for what I hope will grow into a healthy resin terrain and gaming-aid company. For now I'm focusing on producing a series of wrecked science-fiction vehicles, to use as markers after a vehicle explodes. While not too useful for Malifaux, I hope to create some cool steampunk-themed terrain after the Kickstarter ends. Regardless, if you play "other" miniature games, please check it out. Thanks a million! - Jim http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/48375726/worldsmith-industries-wrecked-vehicles-for-sci-fi

Well moderated forums are oases of joy and calm on the Internet. I approve!

Apologies for the delay in this. What a great weekend! Thanks again to everyone who came out and gave Walpurgis their all. I hope folks were having fun - given the amount of cheering and laughing, it certainly seemed like it. The results are listed below. Best Gunslinger was decided by total VP, then TP, then DIFF. Best Looking was voted on by all of the players (3 points for top appearance vote, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd). Best Storyteller was decided by an end-of-tourney vote for your top 3 favorite opponents of the weekend (3 points for top, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd - ties went to the player with the highest VP). Wooden Spoon went to the player with the lowest VP (Riley didn't play on day 2). Note also that I (Jim) recused myself from any awards based on VP because I found out after my last game that I had been playing my crew without taking into account the bury errata (that burying removes someone from a companion chain). I'm not sure that it made a huge difference, but I know I did it wrong at least two times in my last game. Completely my fault for not closely tracking errata. Mea Culpa! Loren (of the Warhamsters) took TONS of photos, but it'll take me a long while to get them sorted and posted. Watch this space for more info!

I was doing so well against you for the first several turns, too! I should have withdrawn farther, hidden, and tossed a few roadblocks at you. Well played, and well deserved!

Hi all - almost there! I updated the first post with the schedule, and will upload the scenarios shortly. I'll update the first post shortly.

It might help speed up gameplay. Due to the narrative nature of the event, some of you may want to wait until the tournament to read the fiction and the scenarios. Heck, I know some of you who won't read the scenario until right after you finished the last one, so you can be surprised as you go along. Whatever you choose is fine. Remember, the purpose is not to win games. The purpose is to tell a story. For those of you who want to read the scenarios, they are here. Otherwise, ignore this post. See you at Walpurgis!

Whew! Swag has been finalized. There’s still some stuff finishing up production, but we know what it will all be. Here’s a painted version of the Turn/Soulstone counter: We had some scratch left over, and I’ve always gotten the feedback that folks would rather have more swag than more elaborate things on the prize table. As such, I figured wargaming and drinking go hand-in-hand. I mean, you have to stay … err … hydrated, right? As such, folks will be getting this stylish 22 oz stainless steel Warhamster waterbottle: Here are some of the Grubs (with paint, this time!) provided by Ed and the folks at Troll Forged. There’s a variety of head and body types. These are limited-edition metal casts of some figures that will be released as Troll Forged’s incredible Assimilation Host Kickstarter: Finally, here’s the swag back each participant will be getting (their’s will be unpainted, of course): Holy, cow, that’s a lot of loot! The final tally (and credits) is: 1 Through the Breach Podcast Fate Deck 1 metal Wyrm Grub (by Troll Forged Miniatures) 1 plastic Emerson Goodfellow miniature (by Warlord Games) 1 MDF Turn/Soulstone Counter (designed by Jim Graham, cut by Advanced Deployment) 3 resin 30mm Wyrm Egg Markers (sculpted by Jim Graham) 2 resin 50mm Wyrm Maw Markers (sculpted by Jim Graham) 1 resin Wyrm (sculpted by Nathan Lough) 1 resin Grand Maw (sculpted by Jim Graham) 3 MDF Broken Stone Walls (designed by Jim Graham, cut by Advanced Deployment) 3 MDF Gravestone Bases (designed by Jim Graham, cut by Advanced Deployment) 1 acrylic Measuring Widget with 1, 2, 3, & 4” measures (designed and cut by Advanced Deployment) 1 Bellingham Warhamster Water Bottle Next task is finishing up the scenarios and player's pack, and getting the MDF terrain pre-assembled for folks. Whew!

Two weeks left, and still 4 spots open. Please let me know quick if you're hoping to attend! Also, in case you haven't been following the swag thread, here's what each participant will be receiving in their swag bag (theirs will be unpainted, of course!):

Howdy, all - another update. I'm very, very excited to announce a new sponsor to Walpurgis: Troll Forged Miniatures. Ed Fortae and the good folks at Troll Forged produce all kinds of cool stuff, and have lately really expanded in to production casting with a newly-developed process of roto-casting plastic. Their work can be seen on a number of Kickstarters and boutique miniature companies, including Impact Miniatures, Mythos Foundry, Kingdom: Death, Raging Heroes, and Red Box Miniatures. Heck, even the Warhamster's own Nathan Lough has done some work for their Sculpting Collective, in the form of some Hoth-themed guardsmen. More recently, Troll Forged completed a successful Kickstarter campaign of their own, funding the sculpting of what promises to be the coolest alien miniature line the wargaming community has ever seen, Alien Assimilation Host. Ed and the folks at Troll Forged have generously provided a number of limited edition, metal casts of the alien grubs from their Assimilation Host line. Each participant will get one, and a handful of extras will be put on the prize table for some lucky participant to walk away with. These will serve as the juvenile form of "The Dwellers Beneath", one of the creatures the participants will have to contend with. The miniatures were sculpted by Ed Fortae, and cast by Troll Forged. Just one surprise left, and I think we're about done with the swag (the Stuff We All Get, that is). I'll be working on getting the turn counter and the grubs painted up so that, by the time the last piece arrives, I can take a photo of the entire loot pile in one fair swoop. Now some pictures! There are 5 different body sculpts and 5 different head sculpts - it should provide tons of variation. Here's a shot with our friendly neighborhood gunslinger to show scale. And here's the lifecycle of the Dwellers Beneath, from egg, to juvenile, to adolescent (both burrowed and emerging from the ground), and a full grown adult.
