Battle for White Sands (Thematic Encounter Tournament)

"You inhale sharply, the acrid smoke stinging your nostrils. The smell of wood burning lingers, and with it… something else? It’s faint, barely perceptible, yet with each breathe a knot grows in your stomach.

Shaking your head, you glance back at your crew who have begun setting up the tarps and canvas to protect from the midday sun.  A strong breeze is sending the smoke from beyond the horizon but it offers no relief - the breeze is hot, the sun is hot, everything is hot.

“At our current pace, we should reach White Sands by nightfall” remarks your Henchman, always one to point out to the obvious. “Though I don’t know what you expect - we don’t have to see it to know that it’s gone!”

White Sands. It was supposed to be the jewel in the Guild’s cap: the largest Soul Stone deposit ever found in The Badlands. Though currently just a mining outpost, the Guild’s City Planners were already hard at work preparing the settlement’s Official Plan, and had high hopes that it would soon be home to thousands. Yet just as soon as the dream had begun, it was over. Some say the Archanists, unable to pass up such a treasure trove of power unleashed a magic they could no longer control. Others say the miners unwittingly unearthed a Neverborn who was better left undisturbed. More whispers point to something not yet encountered in Malifaux - a malevolent power unmatched by humans or Neverborn alike. Yet whatever the cause, hundreds are now flocking to White Sands in the hopes of capturing the outpost for themselves.

The Guild has sent many to restore order and slay any Neverborn that cross their paths. Others seek the magical power or riches rumoured to have been left behind. And many more seek to align themselves with any Neverborn that may have been awakened therein.

Regardless of the calamity's cause, what is certain is that as hundreds converge on White Sands, a fearsome battle is all but imminent. The question remains: which one are you?"

Welcome to the settlement of White Sands, where fortunes are won and crews destroyed! In celebration of the completion of my new Badlands scenery, this thematic 40SS tournament will proceed around the premise of protecting or looting the town. The tournament will use the following set set Story Encounter options over three or four rounds, depending on the number of participants:

  • Rams - Squatters Rights
  • Crows - Supply Wagon
  • Tomes - Treasure Hunt
  • Masks - Escort

The final round will consist of a Master/Henchman free-for-all in the town of White Sands itself for bonus Victory Points! (2 VP for each model you kill and 4 VP for being the last player standing)

Don't forget this Saturday we're having our last 2E Tournament! Mystery boxes and Guilders are up for grabs, in addition to prizing being supplied by the LGS. What better excuse to come see the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay! (Only 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto).
