1.) Mobile App that has ability to purchase the stat cards digitally integrated into the crew builder. Like war room but less crashy. That allows for crew building, errata update automatically and the general strategy and scheme pulling for you. Love to be able to save lists in it and have ability to stat track for myself on it. 2.) New scheme rotation or a few new schemes put into the GG 2016. I think the 10 strategies we currently have is enough, but some change up in the scheme either the distrubtion i.e. we move schemes around or we rotate in a few new ones. 3.) Fate Decks specific to each faction/master. Essentially I'm the guy that bought dice to match his army, I'd gladly buy decks to match my master just saying.

Levi can channel a charge and both of the attack actions generated from the charge action receive the benefit of channel.

Tuesdays are our normal weekly gaming night for malifaux. That said a lot of the folks have the ability to game outside of just the Tuesdays. But tuesday is our "formal" gaming night.

Thats why I'm starting with Widow Weaver as she is neverborn bacon. Makes every master better.

Basically the Nythera Bit of it I.e. the weekly event will be in effect for the league. As well you will determine attacker and defender as per the Nythera campaign rules. We are doing Standard Shifting Loyalities in that you will have a Henchman leader to start. Hiriing Rules can be found in the shifiting loyalities book from Wyrd Miniatures. I will also have my copy their This coming week and throughout the campaign so if people haven't had a chance to purchase theirs yet they can still have access to the campaign rules. You build your Arsenal and progress as per the shifting loyalities campaign rules.

Collodi is the most active of the three. He is about crew synergy and stacking of effects to get the bulk of his work done through minions and puppets of which their are some very strong offensive ones in neverborn. He tends to like the thematic crew close together and has to be played slightly more forward than the other 2 do to the smaller range on my will. He is a very active master again compared to zoriada and to Lucius who tend to be a bit more hands off do the ranges on their ap manipulation. That said he lets neverborn hit harder which is what nb do well. Zoriada - Plays the best control game in the game to me. Obey with its ability to work on anything on the table but your opponents master and your self means you are in control of the strongest pieces at any point thier within 12" of you. Additionally your ap can be what brings the crew over the top. More survivable on the whole than Collodi and able to have greater threat projection. She can give her ap to again anything not just minions and puppets. She gets more work out of mature nephlims than almost anyone else in the game. Zoriada has better speed and placement effects for herself and she can stay out of harms way longer than collodi can. Soulstones can be used to run her henches effectively as she rarely needs them for herself. Lucius- I have never gotten lucius to work to my liking in neverborn

Starting Tuesday September 15th @ Flat Land Games in Wixom Mi 28990 S Wixom Rd, Wixom Mi 48393248-773-7854We'll be launching a Campaign using the new shifting loyalties book. You'll need a 35 pt henchman lead crew to start and be ready for a campaign that will test your management as well as your fighting skills. This campaign will run till October 27th.

Easiest Scheme- Protect Territory- Move typically a single movement or 2 away from your deployment and then your in business. As you grow you find that anywhere on the board beyond 6" from your zone achieves this so move forward at some point drop markers stand by markers make points. Hardest-Sping the Trap it requires a specific model to get in range of several markers to earn full points. The amount of specific setup for this scheme makes it to me the hardest to accomplish consistently.

yes that is exactly how it works. Enjoy

Gencon was won by Sonnia Crid, He was our top seed coming out of Masters in masters he used Sonnia each of his 3 games. In Avatar he used Perdita game 1 had a bye in game 2 thanks to our Table 4 drawing knocking both players out, and Played Sonnia in the finals against Kirai. @Sharpobjects- The community makes it easy to run things like this and Wyrds support really made it a joy. The tweaks are mainly giving masters even more player spots into the avatars and keeping the Hardcore winners as qualifiers. Henchman hardcore is really an interesting event and I would suggest others give it a run, some interesting tactical depth in that format. Enforcers Brawl will be our mixer event, but will not be a qualifier. It worked as intended giving a golden ticket chance into the finals and was a lot of fun. I wanted to try it this first go round as a qualifying event. I saw two things, the people toward the top of the event tended to also do fairly well in the masters format. The format meaning enforcers brawl is far 2 random and swingy for my liking. Worth the experiment for sure. Our two closests games in avatars were between the number 3/4 qualifers from masters each vs a winner of the henchman hardcores. Including the first round tie, both of those players also did fairly well in masters. @Dan- Us old timers have to stick together can't let these young guys kill us all off you know. Also I liberally resurrected your old Avatar format, as it has always been my favorite and it has aged well just like you. It fits Gencon well. Also tremendous to Hear that you've seen the light and will embrace Ressers beings you are going to be playing the one true faction. lol

A HUGE Thank you to all who Attended and bought Tickets for our Tournament events all Weekend. Our Smallest non invitational event was 18 players. That's awesome Ladies and Gentleman. The events were a blast to run and organize and I want to give a Special thank you to Dawn, Maht, Aaron and Justin for helping with the events and keeping me sane and hydrated all weekend. I appreciate all the feedback on the events its how we get better and we will. You asked for better terrain and we delivered. HUGE HUGE THANK YOU TO NOX! the Terrain got so many compliments and so many people coming up to take pictures of it and ask what is this used for? TO which we helped make sure our Demoers were never bored. Thank you to all who took their con to Demo! Avatar format was very well received and performed wonderfully. I'd like to thank Wyrd for offering the invite for me this year and think I helped deliver what we were planning on. I will do some qualifier tweaks based both on feedback and on observation. Tentatively next go round Top 6 in masters qualify and the winner of each of the 2 Henchman hardcores will form the top 8 and receive an invite to Avatars. Enforcers brawl Catalina Grind mixer our Thursday event largest event at 32 players will make its return but will not be a qualifier. Next go round very likely there will be a Treacherous Ties event added but it will not be a qualifier. The Booth was amazing and our Lemonade stand in the events area was priceless. The store was very easy to maneuver and find exactly what I needed and when I couldn't Id have so much help waiting for me it wasn't even funny. I appreciated all the work that everyone did to make Gencon what appeared to be a huge success. Beings i'd be off duty and hear people talking about Wyrd in the hall ways and by ways was amazing to be a part of.

Looks amazing. Love the organizer in the box. So sharp and sophisticated

Its absolutely amazing. My Favorite Section is the bottom of the Resources Page!

I'm excited for it purely from a thematic perspective as well as that zero action can do some serious work as mentioned above.

I'll soap box and Say I greatly appreciate wyrds direction, art and social conscious. Malifaux isn't nor was it ever intended to be the great white knight of Womans rights in gaming. Wyrd has a large female following and I think its wonderful although my wife still refuses to play. Not for because of models or stereotypes or issues at the shop, but this hobby doesn't interest her in the slightest and guess what thats okay. Cross stitching her main hobby doesn't interest me at all either but we both support each other and support each others hobbies. The game world is deeply routed in the history of the american manifest destiny. The drive west which did include a fair amount of women, but far more men as it was an unsettled wilderness and social convention of the time period meant it was more difficult not impossible for woman to have full time work. This is obvious as both men and woman are represented in both the guild and the M&SU the two largest employers in malifaux that we know about to this point. There are woman in positions of authority and woman that are underlings and there are summon woman that are just nameless minions. So I think the representation while not perfect nothing is, is even greater than the historical records would indicate. The best stories draw from this historical basis it helps make this "fantasy world" feel like it fits feel like it would have consistency with the world and history that we know if something as fantastic as soulstones and magic existed in this world and that a magic city of forbidden knowledge was discovered on our earthly timeline. My own personal preference is to let the designers of the game pick the art and gender identities of the models that fits those characters the best. If this model would fit best as a beautiful woman, have the artist create a beautiful woman. If this model would be best represented as ordinary men and women than have them designed as regular looking men and women. IF this should be an awesome turtle monster! Then dang it draw a turtle monster. I want the artists and designers to have the freedom they need to create their vision of their world. And if I like what I see I will give the company cash, if I don't I don't buy it. Economics is simple and the dollar is your most powerful voting tool. Want more female models, buy more female models.

I'm going to place my Red markers down on Lady Justice. Building falls on her totally fine, Becomes avatar dies.

Can that become a shirt!

Woot love one shots!

Lady J is an excellent starting master for the Guild. Glad your liking the pine boxing

Seamus, very good at one rounding minions to enforcers, Fairly resilent when played caggy. Can work independent of the crew as needed.

Like the red you were able to achieve on Yan lo as well as the banners. Very solid looking style.

To answer whether you can change Enforcers between rds. For varieties sake yes you may.

Look forward to seeing you all at gencon. The thought process was as gencon is a unique beast where 50k+ nerds and enthusiastic followers of all types of hobbies that most people have a very full plate. The concept was to cater to those willing to devote a large portion of one of their gencon day to play a gg tournament. And the other gamer who has the desire to play but can't devote full time on an all day to an event. Additionally it is an opportunity to show off the different types of supported organized play that the game offers. The reasoning for Avatars to include the winners of these rapid satellites is to increase participation and to encourage multiple events for those trying to lock down a seat at the avatar table. Important note that 1-4th in the gaining ground get a seat and only the winner of each of the 4 satellites get a chance. And avatars will be a single elimination 50ss gg event. This multiple format qualifer is nothing new in competitive gaming largely considered the hall mark of recent competitive gaming, warmachine, utilizes multiple format winners to feed it's masters event. We're trying it I wish everyone luck in attempting to qualify to be crowned champion.
