Yup! He is going to be a big model, probably close in size and weight to a Warmachine Heavy Jack. Just be glad he's not going to be $50 like some PP and GW models.

But I got into this game cause I am cheap!

So I saw this today and had two questions...

WYR4021 - Hooded Rider (small box) - $30

Why does he come in a box and why is he $30? Is he that gigantic?

I hung back and let him come to me. He did try and get the mature out of the way but then it couldn't hurt me any since I just stayed bunched up near some good terrain where he didn't have many avenues of attack. Perhaps he shouldn't have gone for JuJu first since he just came back!

So I played a 30pt game the other day against a fairly standard Lilith list (3 tots, 1 mature, 1 teddy). The stratagy was shared escape and survive. I announced Bodyguard Zorida (we only used one scheme each)

My list

Zorida

VD doll

Teddy

Mature Neph

Bad Juju

I wiped to floor, took out his whole crew (well his mature neph helped a lot...)

So was this the best list ever or was I just lucky?? (I really just wanted to run the most big bases I could...) (I know if I had the dreamer, but I don't)

Malifaux Tournament!

Sept 25 at the Tower of Games in Chesapeake...

Prizes? YES! Exclusive figures and whatnot! (see below)

Entry Fee? $10 (Prizes galore though!!)

Army Size? 25 points! But if everyone can support it and we all agree we can do 35

Time? 1:00 (1300 for the navy)

THE FINE PRINT (Print still normal size)

Terrain will be set up by the organizer (me)

One strategy will be drawn at random for everyone. I am going to include the New Strategies from Rising Power!!

Each player then picks ONE Scheme and announces it. Yes you can use Rising Powers...

There will be 4 rounds...then top two teams play for first! This is determined on W/L record with VPs for Tie Breakers

You MUST pick a NEW scheme ever round...schemes may not be re-used

Prizes

Promo Lord Chompy Bits

Promo Nurse

3 card decks

Winner gets first choice and then so on

If there are a large number of entries all additional entry money will be converted into gift cards and added to the prize list!

So there is some good info here! Here is what I know so far....there is no painting requirements, I can't paint. We tried VP points before and it wasn't good. If I play to deny you VPs (which is something I can do with Zorida it seems) and I win on just one or two to nothing it doesn't work out to be feasible...aka people bitch to much...

I like the idea of having pre-arranged strategies...

I wanted toi do 35 SS but it might have to be 25

Is there any available guidance on running a tournament? I am doing one soon and would like to set up some ground rules (I'll post dates and times in that forum soooon)

Thanks.

I've been using Candy, woe, mature neph, and Papa Loco and it has worked fairly well. Sometimes Kade and another woe. Haven't got Teddy to the field yet. I think it depends on who I am playing. The melee heavy vics? Candy is a great! Slurrids work well against ranged units...Kade isn't my favorite but is good for messing around in your opponents flanks I've found.

I've also found it is important to talk your opponents into certain units...I always try and get them to play an Executioner...that guy is great at taking out his own friends

Also put down as much hazardous terrain as possible...kill/kill/kill if you can

Hex can be really useful...get rid of Han's special ammo and now he is pretty terrible...

Channel cast Obey with the doll for +2 flips

cast crystal ball first and when it inevitably fails it is sort of like a bonus flip for your next spell due to bayou two card (unless you have plans for it)

If units cause damage when they die (witchlings, papa loco) get something to charge them...sometimes it sets off a chain reaction...

We are 5 minutes from Interstate 64 and Greenbrier Mall.

Anyone have any thoughts on running with more than 3 silurids? Perhaps a 35SS game with:

Zorida

JuJu

5 silurids

voodoo doll

They seem to work well as a group... I've only played two games (with just the Zorida starter box) and have enjoyed it! I did enjoy the silurid pack...good fun...
