Well I just hosted at tourney at Fongo Bongo this weekend. There will be more anyways. We could attempt for a batrep sometime I guess.

Yes and you just to need let me know that you're planning on coming and sign up at the store.

Trying to rerun the first Fongo Bongo Malifaux Tournament. Signups start at 10:30 with the first round at 11:00. 25 SS : 1 master fixed list : Shared Strategies 5$ entry fee, with fees going back into prizes. Already have 5 signed up for the event, so anyone else is welcome to come and play. Also remember to bring a painted malifaux mini for the painting contest.

Let's go for four.

I'm in for the next round as well.

So for the first round, everyone may enter right? Not just who won? The first round will have eliminations and pairings right? Just need to know if I am still eligible to start writing again.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Let me know about any other events you plan on running. If I can make it, you may see some of us from down south a bit.

With summer in full effect, I am continuing the league through the end of August. Come down for a fun filled few hours each week and earn achievements. With 10 people in so far, there are plenty of games to be played.

Thanks for the tips guys. I've missed out on a few books. A new lgs was interested in the game, so I became a henchman. I'm going to get the books for the fluff sometime soon. I'll make the changes tomorrow.

I had two players show up. So I ended up not running it. I'll rerun it at the end of August. What store do you guys play at? I'm thinking that we should all meet some day and discuss the best time to run events. I know of a few players from Provo, that are willing to make it given enough notice. Heck, one of them is even in my league.

“The orders for today as follows….” The governor’s attendant drones on and on. My name is Andres Castillas and I work for the Guild here in Malifuax. Before I entered the breach, my father used his ties to secure me a job here. I am now sure that he didn’t understand the perils of this land. Upon hearing my name, I immedatley come to attention, and listen to where my orders are going to send me. And I start to pray that I’ll make it back to another one of these meetings. “Private Castillas, you are hereby assigned to Perdita for the next two weeks. As she is the top expert in the field of Neverborn, please try to stay alive. You will wait for her at the entrance to the Western Slums at 10:00 sharp. Help where you can and please try to stay out of the way. Report to the Drill Sergeant, you will need to be armed.” The rest of the meeting is all a blur after hearing my orders. I realize that I will be issued a peacebringer, and I try to remain calm as I run to meet Perdita. Running through the streets with my satchel and trying to hide my weapon. Time blurs as I focus on the possible events of the near future. “Well, at least you’re not late. I hate being late.” The voice stops me dead in my tracks. I had lost track of time. I look up and see most of the Ortega Clan assembled. I start to stutter as I introduce myself. “Priv priv private Castillas Ma’am. I have been assigned to your duty for the following two weeks. Why are we here? None of the guild reports have any sightings of Neverborn in this sector. “ Perdita answers “I don’t always hunt the Neverborn. I go where my orders send me, and here we have arrived. I’m sure you have heard the reports of missing children from this sector. It very well could be the neverborn stealing the children. Or it could be something else entirely, that is why we are here.” Her demeanor quiets my misfeelings about this assignment. The clan prepares to enter into the slums, and I follow suit. Time passes as we start to question the locals. The explanations seem to point to something sinister, but we realize that we have no idea what we are facing. All accounts seem to mention a soft melody playing before a child turns up missing. And if some people are to be believed, a strange looking dog leads the child away. As I am making my notes that night, I remark that none of this makes sense. By all accounts and findings, this doesn’t seem to fit the M.O. of the Neverborn. They prefer to attack and in the aftermath children tend to come up missing. But there are no attacks, no bloodshed. And even more puzzling, there are reports of dead cats, surrounded by dead rats. Dozens of cats just turn up dead, looking like they were mauled by their very prey. We are awakened by the sounds of screams, everyone is rushing out into the street. I pull my peacebringer out as I see the rest of the clan is armed and ready for action. “Careful son. Let’s not be too hasty. This doesn’t have the feel of an ambush. We just don’t want to be surprised.” Nino says as he lowers his weapon. I feel like a fool, I was ready to shoot first and then ask questions. “Ms. Ortega, all of our cats are dead. And the warehouse was full of rats. And Bill is dead, just look at him.” Sobs the innkeeper, as reality sets in. Perdita starts to motion people out of the way, and nods to Nino. Pulling me aside, “Now son be careful. Remember your training. If anything happens, it is your duty to report this to the Guild. If I give the word, you need to run until you reach your superiors. This is not a Neverborn incursion, but something else entirely. They need to know that. If this goes poorly, don’t worry about us. You just remember your mission in this. “ I try to smile and remain calm as the clan takes their positions around the warehouse. I attempt to stay close to Nino, but I need to see the inside of that building. Just as Perdita goes to open the door, a soft haunting melody starts. I look around to try to find the source of the music. “Be ready, I think the music is coming from inside”, cautions Fransico. The music stops as he opens the door. Hundreds upon hundreds of rats pour out of the now open door. All the rats seem to move as one giant mass, seemingly uncoordinated, but with an unseen guiding hand. Somewhere in the distance a dog barks, and the rats disappear down a side street. As we give chase, there is no trace of any rats. “The answer to all of this is close. Be on guard, I feel that we are being watched. “ Advice from Santiago, the first time he has said anything since my arrival. A dog barks again, and in the distance we see a figure. A slim man leaning on his walking staff, and by his side a dog. And there beside him are standing some of the missing children, and in front of them all a swarm of rats. I don’t mean just a few rats, but it appears to be countless. “Leave this place. This is your only chance. “ The mysterious man seems to be confident that he can back up his statement. Nino motions for me to take a place at the end of the street. “Remember, once this starts it is your duty to report this to the Guild officials. That is the most important thing. Take off running if those rats get close to us. “ I move to where I can see the fight, and possibly help out with a few well placed shots. As she walks by Perdita says, “Put your weapon away. I won’t risk you hurting us. Be ready to run, I’m sorry. I know you just want to help in the fight, but we need to be careful.” I nod and holster my weapon saying “Yes Ma’am. I will report back to our superiors. Good luck to you. Should I return?” “That will not be needed. If we survive, I will join you tomorrow morning at the Guild office. “ As she walks away, she starts to give orders to her clan. I find myself puzzled with one order, why kill the dog. After all it’s just a dog, right? In the first brief moments, I watch in amazement as the clan takes up firing positions. Nino flanks on the left while Fransico and Santiago take the center. Perdita takes the right flank and starts shooting at the rats. Amazed at their accuracy, I don’t think I could hit one of those little bodies. Those children are not children anymore. I swear I saw the man summon one to him, but it disappeared right on the spot. And where it had just stood, more rats come swarming at the Ortega clan. Shots are ringing out, just about every shot hitting it’s mark. But that does nothing to stem the tide of the swarm. It just seems that when a rat dies, another is ready to take its place. After just a few minutes, the swarm seems to halt. And that is when the mysterious man appears, with a horde of children around him. “Halt and desist.” Commands Perdita, as she takes aim. It seems to me that she is ready to execute him on the spot, and she never flinches. “Do you really want to die here?” she asks, ready to shoot. “Does it really matter?” he responds. Just as Perdita pulls the trigger, the rat swarm leaps back into action. I swear that the man has a hole in his head, right between the eyes. But I stare in disbelief when a child drops motionless to the ground, and the mysterious man is standing before us again. “Now Private Castillas,” shouts Nino. “With that I turned and ran, Sir. Just like they told me to, I didn’t want to but that was my mission from my superior. “I explain to the governor’s attendant and the captain of the guards. “Relax son, you were just following orders. Go home and return here tomorrow morning. Perdita just reported that they are on their way here to report as well,” said the antendant as he went back to his reports. “Well son, you heard him. I expect you here tomorrow 8:00 sharp.” said the captain as he turned back to his men. “Any plans for the rest of the day?” I pause and think about it, “Yes Sir. I need to go and find five cats to call my own. After seeing that many rats, I don’t think there will ever be too many cats.” C&C welcome. This is my first ever attempt at something like this.

So I can get the totem plus use some of the Lady J box set that I have as well? And that should be a good start? Sounds like I'm almost there.

I have been playing just the Perdita box set so far for the league that I am running. I am wondering what additional purchases I should be looking for to get up to 35 SS?

Is it too late to join? If not count me in.

Definitely would prefer that the painting competition entry be from the Wyrd line. You wouldn't need to play that fig as part of your crew. Just painted, doesn't have to be based, and any other questions can be discussed on either the open gaming night (Thursday hint hint) or via PM here, or on Saturday before we start. And as always, feel free to PM me with any questions as well.

This Saturday, July 21st, at 11 A.M. Fongo Bongo Games will be hosting the first ever Malifaux Tournament. This is a free event, provided you signed up for the league. If you plan on playing on Saturday and haven't signed up for the league, then the entry fee is 5$, and includes entry into the league. 25 SS limit, One faction and One Master to be used for all games. Sign ups start at 10:30 with the first pairings starting at 11:00. Also plan on bringing a painted fig, as there will be a painting contest as well.

For circle I can see that you have a feral warpwolf, a pureblood warpwolf, and a warpwolf stalker as well as both "forms" for the warlock Kromac. And what looks to be a blackclad which is a solo. For the "elves' looks like Rahn a warcaster. A heavy jack, Phoneix i believe, if you have the other parts, a heavy jack kit. The light jack is either a Chimera or a Gorgon, can't tell via the picture. The unit is the Battlemage unit. And the lone guy is the Magister solo. Hope this helps out some.

Since, I've had several requests for more demos, I will be holding another demo night. This Thursday, July 12th from 6-10 pm, Fongo Bongo Games will be holding another demo night. The summer league just started last week, so it's not too late to join. Come in a grab a demo, and see what Malifaux is all about.

Starting of July 5th Fongo Bongo Games is proud to hold an achievement league for all Malifaux players. Since most of the players are new, it's going to be a learning league with the achievements based on learning the core rules. The league will end on 26th of July. I will set the ground work for the league on July 5th at 5:30 pm. Cost will be 5$ which will be turned into prize support. I will be handing out the achievement books as well at that time.

As the title states, I have the Raspy box set and am looking for the collette box set. But am willing to consider other offers.

Fongo Bongo Games 1751 W 12600 S Riverton, UT 801.938.5962 We're gearing up for our league starting in July. I'll be on hand this Thursday to run some demo's and answer some questions. Demos will be run from 6-10 pm. No experience needed. Seeing as some of the warmahordes crew wanted some demos late into my demo night last week. I just guess that I'll be running demos this week as well. We're starting to gear up for our beginner league and at the same time the Dead Heat campaign. I'll be posting the info for the league next week after I get it finalized.
