maddan12 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Coming soon to a gaming shop near you! (if you happen to live in the Wrexham/Chester Environs) We will be hosting our very first tournament "A Twist of Fate" at 4th Planet Games Bank St Wrexham LL11 1AH Shop phone number: 01978 357713 (to call if you get lost on the day) The event will be on: Saturday 17th September Registration will be between: 10:00 - 10:30 so try to arrive before registration closes to allow everything to be sorted out for the first match Entry will be: £10 (This includes the LGS play fee, entry to the Prize Draw and a free bottled drink) This can be paid in cash on the day or by PayPal to mad_dan12@hotmail.com, if paying on PayPal please include: real name, forum name, "Twist of Fate" and your faction. Once you have paid I will be editing this post to keep a list of players. The event will be fixed faction, 50ss The event will follow the Gaining Grounds 2016 Rules with exceptions outlined in the tournament rules pack. Also being on the optimistic side I will say that places are limited to no more than 18 players (This allows a comfortable amount of space in the area we have) The event will be cancelled and full refunds given in the unlikely even of having less than 4 entrants. If we meet the requirements of 8 players scores will be submitted to the Malifaux UK Rankings Feel free to ask any questions and keep an eye out for the tourney pack and schemes and strategies pools which will be posted up sometime in August Paid @Reservoir Dog @KevinGillett +1 @PositronMike Edits* If we meet the requirements of 8 players scores will be submitted to the Malifaux UK Rankings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositronMike Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Definitely interested in this. What is car parking like at the venue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reservoir Dog Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I'm a definite for this and I'll pay at the end of July if that's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddan12 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 @PositronMike The venue is down a small side arcade, there is parking nearby uploaded a map, all the red dots are carparking (pay and display I'm afraid) Eagles Meadow is a big multi-storey attached to a retail complex, Water world is a council run car park, Island green is attached to another shopping complex, there are some other smaller ones too. I'll dig around for free parking and let you know if I find anything @Reservoir Dog That's great, just remember all the info for the paypal payment and drop me a message on here to let me know when you've paid also (internet is not very good on the vessel I am on atm so its an effort to check things like paypal) But have no fear once you is paid your name will go up. for now i'll put you in the interested list Rule pack, scheme strategy pool all coming in the next few days.

maddan12 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Prize pack has arrived, if there is 8 players everyone will be getting a guilder to go towards the nice new guilder program, (if there is more than eight the winner will get a winners guilder and the rest will go into the raffle so still good chance to win one) Rules pack is coming just some final tweaks and re reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddan12 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Here is the rules pack for those who are interested, sadly I can't upload the nice pdf I created so will copy and paste from the rulespack here: The Tournament Format The event will follow the Gaining Grounds 2016, with the following exceptions; Proxy, Conversion, and Painting Rules Proxies are allowed as long as they are appropriate representations of the model they stand for. Wyrd models may only be used to represent what they are, unless they are converted. Please check in advance with the organizer for suitability. Conversions are an excellent way to show off your modeling skills and as such we will accept the use of conversions, players using conversions should try to avoid a too heavily converted crew (by which we mean it will be difficult for your opponent to keep track of what is what). Models must be assembled and attached to the appropriate size base. The minimum painting requirement is undercoat. However, there will be a prize for the best-painted Single figure. Tournament Rules Number of Rounds and Schedule 10:00 Venue open & registration 10:30 Round 1 Strategy: Turf War Schemes: Convict labour, Exhaust their forces, Leave your mark, Neutralize the leader & Undercover entourage Deployment: Standard 12:30 Lunch and painting judging 13:30 Round 2 Strategy: Extraction Schemes: Convict labour, Occupy their turf, Show of force, Catch and release & Leave your mark. Deployment: Flank 15:30 Round 3 Strategy: Head Hunter Schemes: Convict labour, Exhaust their forces, Search the ruins, Hunting party & Detonate the charges. Deployment: Corner 17:30 Prizes, congratulations, speeches, tears, joy and closing time Crew Construction Single Faction Prior to the start of the Tournament, each player will sign up with a specific Faction. At the start of each round, the players will hire their Crew for the Encounter up to 50SS including Upgrades. Terrain Setup Terrain will be placed in advance and must not be moved by the players. Entry To enter send £10 by PayPal to mad_dan12@hotmail.com as a gift (include your forum name and proposed Faction) or pay me in cash beforehand. This will cover your play fee at 4th Planet Games (So no additional fees) and will enter you into the prize draw A list of entrants (and Factions where known) will be maintained on the Wyrd forum post. Prizes will be awarded based on the number of entries. However, we aim to have the following: 1st, 2nd & 3rd place (Trophies, certificates and Guilders) Last place (wooden spoon and guilder) Best painted miniature (Painted by you and from your chosen faction) (A plaque, bragging rights and a guilder) Plus a prize draw raffle (This will be a random assortment of gaming and malifaux related goodies, such as mystery boxes, spare guild scrip, store vouchers and resin bases to name but a few) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinGillett Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Read the strategies and schemes, glued new models to paint this weekend accordingly. Me and my bro have more of an idea what to expect this time (my 3rd, his 2nd tournament) instead of learning the strategy 5 mins before the round starts! Well looking forward to this, hardly played yet but getting into the game and fluff more and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
