I told him to go to the tourney location anyway, even if he's late, 'cause chances are someone will be looking for a pick up game. He can also see if there is going to be room at any other tourneys over the weekend.

@nilus Yes, it would have been nice, but the airlines screwed up his ticket, and the only flight they had available to fix it was that one.

How much set up time is there before the tourney starts? One of my friends is signed up for the Thursday Noon tourney, and his plane will probably be landing at 11:30, so he may very well be a little bit late. What should I tell him?

I will be running demos of Malifaux at Norwescon in Seattle this weekend. If you are going to be there, stop by and say hello.

On Friday, April 2nd, I will be in the game room running demos from 10am-6pm, and Saturday, April 3rd, I will be running demos from 10am-4pm.

Can you take some pictures of what your talking about sometime? I'm having a hard time making the transition from words to paint.

Thanks.

More pictures of my minis, taken far too well for such incompletely painted figures. This guy was wandering around with a really nice camera, looking for things to photograph. He stopped and asked if he could shoot my figures, so I let him. He reposed things, moved them around, and took probably a hundred or so pictures. I've never seen pictures of figures come out so well without a light box. ( He just had this seperate light/flash thingie that he set off to the side aimed just so, and it was somehow synced to his camera, it flashed when he took a picture. )

Proper use of it forces you to activate The Estimable Ms. Criid early in the turn. Unless, of course, you have her Totem.

Oh, my! I came home from work today, and my wife informed me that I would be running a Malifaux demo for Chris Pramas sometime next week. ( From Green Ronin publishing. )

I had a blast at Steamcon demoing Malifaux. I can't wait to do it again.

I should have gotten more pictures. Darn it!

The gremlins aren't painted yet, so they're. A no go, cause unpainted minis don't show off the game as well.

What I've been doing is demonstrating the basics of the game, then letting them choose which faction looks best to them, then playing Pandora against them. It's worked out pretty well so far. A bunch of my demos were for people familiar with Warmachine, so that actually helped. More demos tomorrow.

A full day of demos, and I think I'm starting to figure Pandora out. Most people here want to play either Ramos or Sonia Criid. Everyone wants to look a Seamus, but so far no one wants to play him.

Cool, thanks for the replies. I'll probably do something like 15ss, with a Master, and go from there. I have no idea how much interest there will be at the con, I look forward to seeing how it goes.

If I'm trying to run a whole bunch of demos, should I go with 15 ss? If I don't have a whole bunch of people waiting to play, we can always bump it up to 25.

Greetings, everyone!

I will be running demos of Malifaux at Steamcon in Seattle next weekend. ( www.steam-con.com Oct 23-25 ) Unfortunately, Steamcon is pretty much sold out. There will be a few weekend passes available on Friday when registration opens, but not very many at all. So, if you happen to be attending Steamcon, please come by and play some games. I'm helping my Wife run the gaming, so I will be in the game rooms most of the time.

I will try to post a little more ahead of time for the next demo events. ( Looking ahead for Norwescon in April )

I will be demo-ing Malifaux at Steamcon in Seattle Oct 23-25th. Unfortunately, the con is pretty much sold out, so unless you can get there early Friday to stand in line for the last few tickets available, it's too late.

I had a long conversation with, I'm blanking, isn't it Ron Kruzie, the Privateer Press painting guy. I asked him how the P3 primer compared to Duplicolor Sandable ( I've been using it since I heard the McVey's and the Brushthralls rave about it ) and he told me that it was one and the same. He said that PP is licensing it from Duplicolor. That's a good thing, because the only store that I could find that sold Duplicolor is GI Joes which is now out of business and gone. I haven't finished my last can of Duplicolor, but as soon as I do I will pick up some of the P3 and test it out myself.

Since he must be summoned "at least 7 inches" from an enemy model, you shouldn't be able to catch anyone with Landslide, unless they move one of their models closer to you. ( or you have some way of pushing him closer )

I am aiming to have two to five crews painted up in time for Steamcon to run some demos. ( www.steam-con.com )

I completely agree with the Bravo for a well organized book.

I also highly recommend a Dremel Stylus. Expensive, but worth it.

As for advice, I use piano wire, as it is much much thinner than paper clips. I pick up assortments of small bits at Harbor Freight ( www.harborfreight.com actually http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94606 ) Piano wire is available at many small hobby stores.

I should add that they are not very high quality bits, the smallest are only good for a hole or three. The smaller ones are good for 3 to 7 holes. And, only half or so of the bits are useful for miniature purposes. That said, they are very very cheap. < shrug >

If that's what four to six weeks mean, then yes.

Odds are you will see it speed up but I'm not going to make promises on anything as of yet. There are fifteen miniatures at the mold maker right now and I've assigned another twenty-plus to sculptors here recently so I think you could safely say that we're supporting the game and will have a fairly steady schedule. What that schedule will be, we'll just have to see.

Yaay!!! Do you usually announce ahead of time what is coming out new? Do you make a post here when something new is available on the web store?

It is pretty spectacular.
