Here is a how-to on making Cargo Containers similar to the AT-43 containers. Enjoy! If you have questions or any suggestions, or any other terrain you want to see attempted just let me know! I am always looking for new ideas and challenges.

The Labrynth games in Baraboo, Wi will be hosting its first major tournament! We will be running Malifaux, Warmachine/Hordes, and 5th edition Warhammer 40,000 events! Our Malifaux entry is $10 with full prize support. It will be a 25 SS Gaining Ground format. Get warmed up for the GenCon tournaments!!! Visit http://www.thelabrynthgames.com for full details. See you there!

hmm.....apparently you cannot type the word of a person who puts on make-up and makes us laugh at a circus.

$$$$$$$$$$$$

a$$ is kept in but $$$$$$$$$$$$ is marked out?!?!?! Weird!

Goes along with the "Cheeseball" player. Powergaming IS up to interpretation. It also usually goes along with how big of a douche canoe the powergamer is. Powergamers (or Veteran gamers if we want to call them that) can turn into Cheeseball ass-$$$$$$$$$$$$ if their attitude goes downhill. Example: I am a competitive gamer. I do play some hard to beat lists in games and know lots of game rules because I do play to win (having fun for both players goes along with this and is just as important). I don't mind being called a Powergamer or a "Hardcore" player as long as it is not in the context that I twist the rules to my advantage or run exploit lists to be a douchebag. That being said, if I am playing against a new player (which happens many times as a Henchman) I will tone it back and not stomp the other player into the dirt (like a Cheeseball would). If they are not having fun then I am not doing my job. Same goes for any game though. Now when they WANT to go beyond casual gaming to the more competitive side then the kid gloves come off, but it is done in a way that even if the opponent loses they still walk away with a new understanding of the game and how it can be played.

The other model I would look at when it comes out would be the desperate mercenary. He has that sort of "civilized Indian" look to him with the top hat and tattered clothes. Without my book in front of me I can't give any specifics as to what to add/remove but I had that thought when I looked at him the first time.

Not to intervene in this discussion but "Powergaming" is common throughout any tabletop/mini/wargame on the market. Most systems build it right into the model rules. Malifaux is no different in this respect. You have models with abilities or gear that when used in combination with other models/strategies (or what have you) that can seem broken or overpowered to new players or people that have never faced such a threat before. I think what the thread is trying to find is the fine line between "Powergaming" and "Cheeseball" (as my LGS calls them) players. Most powergamers know the rules and their models akin to second nature and in most cases know what your models are capable of as well. This means they know both the strengths and weaknesses of their army choice and yours. Powergamers are usually competitive and play for keeps. This can seem as no fun to a new player or someone of the more casual nature to a game but a lot of this also comes down to the attitude of the powergamer as well (is he being a prick, nice guy/gal, helpful, etc.). Powergaming or "competitive" gaming is usually the next step up from the casual gaming side. This happens with time as you learn your models and rules. This is a natural progression as you get better. It is nothing to be ashamed of, but your attitude will determine how your opponent looks at you in the end. Cheeseballs, on the other hand, are powergamers that take it one step too far. They also know their armies and yours and don't make choices on what is fun, competitive, and challenging, but rather go at it with the attitude of "how can I completely screw over my opponent". This usually constitutes finding the glaring weakness in your army and taking an excess of army choices to exploit your weakness (example: you have a heavy infantry army and they field nothing but area of effect/explosive weapons to wipe you out the fastest). Most "cheeseball" players in most cases will build multiple lists geared towards wiping out a specific army type and they have the tactic of seeming "polite" in letting you lay down your model choices first. Then they pull out their list they built specifically to wreck yours. This is no fun to face and gets quite frustrating really fast. I have watched players quit games completely after investing large sums of money into games because of "cheeseball" tactics and attitudes at gaming clubs. It is a sad but true outcome in many cases. One more note to add to the "powergamer" versus "cheeseball" discussion: When you beat a powergamer they MAY get pissed (if they are that type) but they accept their defeat and move on. If you beat a cheeseball at its exploits they WILL get pissed and he will rag on and on about how the game is unbalanced or broken or how certain rules need to be fixed. Just my two cents on the topic.

I believe they are sable. They hold paint wonderfully. I have beaten mine up pretty bad from frequent use and just a bit of brush wax snaps them back to brand new shape! Compared to most pro brushes they fall about the middle in price range. The work brushes are $6.99 USD and the studio brushes are $11.99 USD.
