While I'd like to see everyone make an effort to field models with some color,we have made exceptions for newer players and that " model that didn't make it" before.

So... no?  but try?

It’s a nice day for a…

WIGHT WEDDING

Echoing out over the Quarantine Zone, from a tower long silent, the church bells rang out their broken song.  Word of this mysterious chiming spread; along with it rumors that the churchyard itself was changing... growing.  Those brave enough to venture to the grounds would report grounds in progressively improving states of repair; though no workers were ever observed in close proximity.  One investigator would soon report that the frosted glass of the service itinerary signage had  been updated: a bloody finger-painted smear read " Sunday".  

The power's that be have taken notice and are convinced that this would be an event they'd have to crash.

Interested in learning more about Malifaux and it's mysteries?

Come join us at Miniature Market's Demo Day, where Malifaux demos will be available from 11:30am till ~3pm.  All you have to do is show up!

Miniature Market:  9610 Continental Industrial Drive, Affton, MO 63123

Only models hired will count for the dance card!

Absolutely!

The "Dance Card" will be a running tally of all the models utilized during the event.  For example bringing 5 Malifaux Rats would be 1 check box on the dance card.  Bringing a rat, an obedient wretch, and Nix would be worth 3 checks on the dance card.  

As the event is open faction, you can choose any master/faction for every round (normal hiring rules apply within faction though), so you can really mingle with a lot of models! 

Its Time for a Masquerade!

Wave 4 is upon us!  With just enough time after GenCon to slap some paint on those new models, here is a prime opportunity to test them out for a party... yes... ALL of them!  On August 27th, Miniature Market is hosting another great three round event for players of all skill levels! In this event, we cast of the ties that bind us to one faction for the day.  This Open Faction tournament, as always, will have a free pizza lunch included, prizes to raffle, and a Painting Contest!

Huzzah!   Glad you guys are gonna make it!

JoeJones, I'd love to help you out!

But... as per tradition, schemes will be determined on the morning of the event!

Heyo Boomstick!

Updating the top post now.  It will not be following the round by round allocations of the GG2016 schedule.  Instead, we will use the following:

Round 1:  Interference,  Close Deployment

Round 2:  Collect the Bounty,  Standard Deployment

Round 3:  Extraction, Corner Deployment

More details to follow today!

This event is coming up, so it's time for an update!

We've had some lovely event sponsors step up, so a special thank you to Angry Mojo Games and Secret Weapon Miniatures.  Their prize support will join Miniature Market, Mats by Mars, and a Wyrd tournament kit for a pretty handsome prize pool!

A few words on the format - 

As my previous events, these will be Gaining Grounds 2016 schemes, but there will be some custom story elements thrown in for spice (I'd say about 2 shakes of standard, and a pinch of story)!

As always, all prizes will be raffled away, with certificates for all of the winners!  

There is only room for 22 people at the event, so i suggest pre-registering!  Not only will it gain you more raffle tickets, and let me know you're coming, but it will hold your spot so you're guaranteed to play!

See you soon!

When the Illios and Delios hang in the sky, and the world of Malifaux casts double shadows, something stirs in the night.  Tis not man nor monster, but a beast all the same.  It’s electric presence precedes it. The unaware masses sleep while a blanket of nervous tension smothers their dreams with unease and panic.  But there are some who sit in dark chambers; the gentle amber glow of their aethervox lighting their anxious expressions.  They have waited all day to hear her voice again…

The hum of the aethervox pops and crackles, leaving the moment pregnant with anticipation.

Her voice is sharp, and shatters the moment clearly:  “Good evening, darlings…..”

Game / Scenario Details:

Round 1:  Interference,  Close Deployment

Round 2:  Collect the Bounty,  Standard Deployment

Round 3:  Extraction, Corner Deployment

This will be a “STORY TELLING event!”

Each player will be crafting her/his own story throughout the tournament.  How?  Attached to each scheme will be a bit of text, and, so long as you accomplish 1VP from that scheme, you may use the text towards your story.  At the end of the tournament, the best story will be awarded the Master Storyteller title (and prizes)!

Rudeboyscott:  So long as your Wyrd Miniature is easily distinguishable as what it's supposed to be.  This is easy if you convert them.  If you, however, are playing a skull faced death marshall as the undead resser variant, that could also work.  But no taking Bad Juju and calling him a Mature Nephilim.

Jim - Your rat kings are fine.  And i'm ok with the vampire bats too (as they can't be confused for anything else really).  But you will have to get the appropriate card for the winged plagues or have the book available for opponents to see it the final release version.

I'll try to remember to make you a copy of the card, but please only consider me a backup plan. lots going on right now

I'd like that too Jim, but I like to keep my events less daunting to new players.  If its con-size events, i'd definitely go for a larger paint requirement though (or at least 2 categories to enter into)!

Great question noob!

You had it right the first  time:  All prizes will be raffle drawn.   That said, first, second,  and third place will get something to hang on their wall to commemorate their triumph over the Krampus! 

The outlier to this is the paint prize.   The best painted model gets a certificate and miniature market gift certificate.   As a reminder,  best painted model submissions must be models played with during the tournament. 

Great question.   Hope that clears things up! 

It should be sufficient,  but if you're nervous that it didn't go through,  just save the confirmation email and show me the day of the event and I'll count it

Strategies and deployments updated. 

Come join us!  Look at all the fun and free food,  and it's only $5 !

Updating to reflect that Wyrd had signed on to directly support Krampus-Faux! 

Come and receive all the Candlemas goodies! 

Updated the Prize section for contributions so far!

While we shoot for the gaining grounds "please make an effort" standard,  We've made exceptions for new players and that "one model i just didn't get finished".  

Thanks to the gents over at Angry Mojo Games (www.angrymojogames.com) for becoming official sponsors of Krampus-faux ! 

They join Miniature Market (www.miniaturemarket.com) and Mats by Mars (www.matsbymars.com) in ensuring this holiday event is full of prizes! 

Great guys!  I'm not sure if you're in the Midwest Malifaux facebook group, but as i mentioned there - Adding to the raffle pool will be a core rulebook for any new player with 10 or less games under their belts.  This will be an event for all experience levels

Glad you'll make it!
