    It's the feel-good event of the Summer! The Lords of War weekend will now host a Malifaux Gaining Grounds tournament, Sunday the 16th of August 2015. As this will be the GTAs first major Malifaux event we will be using a Model Pool format so that players of all levels, even those with smaller Malifaux collections, can feel like they can compete on a level field. Gaining Grounds 2015, the official Wyrd Miniatures Tournament Format, will be in use (http://wyrd-games.net/community/files/file/52-gaining-grounds/). Games will be 50 Soulstones. In addition, the following rules will be in place: Players are restricted to a single Faction. Players may select up to three Masters from that Faction as part of their Pool. Players may select up to 100 SoulStones worth of additional models and upgrades which will form their ‘Pool’ to select from throughout the Tournament. Each round, they may only select Masters, Upgrades and additional Crew members from this pool. The pool may include out-of-Faction models provided there is an Upgrade or Master or other rules make them available to the player. A list of these Models, Upgrades and Masters should be handed-in to the TO at registration. In order to include multiples of the same type of model in a crew, they must exist multiple times in the Pool. During a game, models which may Summon may only summon models included in the Pool, though they may summon as many as the player has available models. Number of rounds for the event will be determined by the number of players as per Gaining Grounds 2015, up to a maximum of 4. Each Round will be 90 minutes long. Strategies and Deployment will be as per Classic Rotation from Gaining Grounds 2015, for reference that is; ROUND 1 - Reckoning, Standard Deployment ROUND 2 - Reconnoiter, Flank Deployment ROUND 3 - Turf War, Close Deployment ROUND 4 - Stake a Claim, Standard Deployment Scheme Pools will be generated randomly each round for the entire event by the TO and distributed to the players with pairings for the round. REGISTRATION: : 9:00am ROUND 1: 9:30am - Cards-down at 11:00am ROUND 2: 11:30am - Cards down at 1:00pm LUNCH ROUND 3: 2:00pm - Cards-down at 3:30pm ROUND 4: 4:00pm - Cards-down at 5:30pm AWARDS: 6:00pm TOP TABLE The highest ranked players at the beginning of the final round may be asked to have their game filmed for promotional purposes. TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!!!! - $70CAD for two Tournaments and the Weekend - $40 for Malifaux only on Sunday. All tournament info can be downloaded as part of the Players Pack HERE There will be a Best Crew Painting Contest hosted at lunch that day as well. If you're interested in the prep-league Lords of War and I will be running, check it out HERE. See you all in August!

    Wow! 20 years ago! Gaming really is a small world! Even if you can't make a scheduled Hobby Night, Chris and Jay at Lords of War have an EXCELLENT Malifaux community and are both just fantastic painters and gamers themselves. They have a dedicated hobby area where you can head over, set up and work on minis while you're in town, as well as play learning games with either of them. So whether our schedules work out or not you'll have a happy gaming home over at LOW. They're just down the Gardiner from you about 20 minutes towards Niagara, get off at Dorval/Kerr and head south about two minutes. Parking is in the back. Message me here or on my Facebook page closer to the date and we can hopefully set up a game! I'm happy to come out and Demo you / Hobby, whatever! Oh, and if you're in town the 16th of August, you've got the most fun Malifaux Event of the summer you get to attend, hosted by yours truly! Cheers, Ash

    Hobby night tonight! Building new crews in preperation! Three more days!

    Lords of War Games and Hobbies (Oakville, Ontario, Canada) will be hosting our Gaining Grounds league for the summer which will also include Hobby Nights and a Painting Contest. This league will prep for the Lords of War Tournament Malifaux Sunday hosted by yours truly on August 16th (more details on that) and is geared towards helping people build up their 100SS pool for that event. The goal will be everyone has their 100SS painted by League end. You may participate if your crews are already all painted, but the additional fun of Hobby Nights and the Painting Contest ask that you begin with one unpainted crew box worth of figures to participate in those (available of course from Chris and Jay at Lords of War). You will have 100SS worth of figures to participate in the League with with the following notes; - You may include up to three Masters from the same Faction at no cost. - Any duplcations of models must be accounted for by cost (ie. Two Depleted in your pool allows you to field two, cost 8SS overall). - You may freely summon any model included in your Pool during games and may summon more than you have in your pool. You may not summon models you did not include in the pool. - All Upgrades you wish to use in the league must be paid for and included in your pool. Simply post your League Lists to the Facebook Event if you wish to participate! https://www.facebook.com/events/1460888820870656/ Best of luck to all! Ash

    Chris from Lords of War Games and I play a 50SS Encounter between his Guild and my Neverborn and chat about our upcoming Malifaux Tale of Four Gamers and its podcast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz8-iFUJBmc

    Thanks Tom!
  12. Achilles
    Cheers. They were filmed same day, so Jason will know for next time.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7xGCEC_1sU Jason's second game, I decide to try to run Jacob's crew with Lucius!
  14. Achilles
    Yeah, I wasn't super familiar with Jason's army in 2E. We had another go over the cards after game one and he got much more to grips Game 2. I'm posting that today!
  15. Achilles
    I think I did put it on Hungering Darkness, then moved the cards again and said totally the wrong thing when going through my Crew. No matter, I totally forgot to use it all game!

    Hey guys! Here's another Battle Report, Ressers vs. Neverborn in a 50SS Standard Encounter! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBWS45WKJDg
  17. Achilles
    Gotcha. Was hoping there'd be an odd outcast or Guild model with darkened I hadn't heard of. Thanks!
  18. Achilles
    Hey guys, Just put together my basic Lynch crew and Mr. Graves. I've got Mr Tannen, Waldgeists and Depleted yet to build for my second wave, but I'm interested in what models exist out-of-faction that also have the Keyword 'Darkened'. Any help is appreciated! Ash
  19. Achilles
    Fair enough guys! Lots to go on here, thanks for all the input! I'll likely receive and start painting up all the Outcasts and Neverborn week after next. Then I'll lock in some plans to film. Cheers! Ash
  20. Achilles
    I suspect I'll stick with the models that have 'Friedkorps' in the beginning. A variety will be nice however for the third and fourth games as the Neverborn side becomes more complex.
  21. Achilles
    It seemed a bit polarized, which for a intro video probably is a bad thing. I'll likely just start with a 20SS Henchmen led game as planned.
  22. Achilles
    I suggested Henchmen Hardcore a month or two ago and had it shot down as 'a bastardized version of Malifaux unsuited to teaching the actual game'. Which was why I avoided it. lol
  23. Achilles
    Ah, there were two depicted on the cover, so I assumed it came with two. lol The plan is for these four games to give a blow by blow of what we're doing as we do it, hence the escalation in Game Size. The advice here is so I can pre-determine some lists for each video to the Strategy and give the person filming with me an idea of what each model will do synergistically to fulfill strategies so they don't just hodge-podge pick models. As for terrain, we will have a good mix of blocking, obscuring and severe so that the table is well filled, but with various types so that the players can get a feel for it. Thanks!
  24. Achilles
    Thanks guys! That last Strategy should have been Stake a Claim. My bad. I should have everything I need to film and then some 0REAPER! I've already got a Malifaux setup. We may eventually get some buildings but for now the Wild West Wastes will suffice. lol

    Hi guys! I'm going to be filming a 4 game beginner series for Malifaux featuring Outcasts and Neverborn. The Outcast master will be Von Schill and Jacob Lynch and Co. will be heading up the Neverborn. This series will start with a Henchmen game at 20SS and then escalate to a Master led game at 30, 40 and 50SS. I figured why not ask for input on the four lists. I'll be putting the Outcast version of this in their forum. I will be sent and be painting up Neverborn from the following model pool. This will be all I have for models so no subs! - Jacob Lynch Starter - Mr Tannen - Mr Graves - The Depleted - Waldgeist The Outacsts l will have access to... - Von Schill Starter - Hannah - Hans - Strongarm box (I guess I'll have an extra?) - Vanessa We will be focusing on basic Strategies. First two games will be Turf War, then Squatters Rights, then Stake a Claim. Schemes as normal. Thanks in advance! Ash
