  1. Yeah, following up on this - it does not appear to be an option anywhere in the auction settings I could find, so I don't think it is possible, sorry!
  2. I’m not sure, as I am relying on the eBay service for international shipping. If they allow it, I can happily package them up together!
  3. The remaining items are all on ebay with no reserve! Nightmare Reddy: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265018224587 Santana: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265018216183 Nightmare Gray Smoke Tara: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265018229029 Everything Else: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265018250539
  4. Updated to indicate what has sold as well as lowered some prices! Also, when I say no reasonable offer will be refused for the items without prices, I mean it! Just go big as I don't want to make lots of trip to the post office!
  5. Missed that key detail, thanks! Chompy is sealed NiB, Angel Eyes is on sprue.
  6. A quick pic showing that I do in fact have all of this in hand and ready to go https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BpnKZOz5QIGJ7mKR9tvxskf4bEHIdkFx/view?usp=sharing
  7. Offloading a bunch of duplicates in my collection, as well as some projects I will just never get to... I've listed asking prices on the rarest items, otherwise looking for any reasonable offer before putting them on eBay. Shipping rates will be quoted via the USPS website from NYC. Happy to ship internationally for a large lot. Everything NoS or NiB. If you are interested, make me an offer on the whole lot... No reasonable offer refused! Starting off with a bang...

  8. I'd suggest if you are so convinced of your own infallible logic you contribute more constructively via play testing. Otherwise...
  9. An odd statement from someone who owns a half-dozen scorpii - even though there is a rare limit!
  10. Yep, that's the inspiration - they are super easy to see from across the table!
  11. Hi all, Unfortunate news, but I am reducing next weekends tournament to a single-day event, still starting Saturday at 10:45am. We've had tepid sign ups early and a slew of drops these past few weeks, and an event that doesn't fill the space and doesn't justify five games of play should not be labeled as a 'Grand Tournament' and does not live up to the standard I hold BKFaux to represent. The reasons have ranged from uncertainty from Book 5 and GG18, to the proximity on the calendar to other events and higher than expected hotel prices, but regardless, the ticket sales just aren't at the 30+ number I expected. Therefore all paid attendees will be refunded in full within 24 hours. But don't despair, there is still much Malifaux to be had next weekend! Instead, we will be hosting a 1-day three round event, same time and place, using the first three rounds of the packet. There will still be prizes and a bar crawl afterwards, and the event with charge the standard $10/$15 Nu Brand tournament rate - cash at the door. We still have double-digit sign ups, and reducing to a single day will actually raise headcount, as we had additional players who were unable to attend Sunday due to conflicts. Also, I will be doing some research and will reschedule the proper BKFaux event the next time calendars align. Thanks for bearing with me, and we are still looking forward to see you all in Brooklyn! Your humble TO, -Andrew Weakland To chat about this on Facebook - see the event page there: https://www.facebook.com/events/1830018413931226/
  12. Feedback: The GOOD: The general air of camaraderie amongst players and organizers - especially in lieu of the tragic events that unfolded shortly thereafter, multi-national team events showcase exactly the open, accepting, fun and friendly culture we should all be trying to promote. The venue - Alcohol w/ table service on site. Easy lodging within walking distance. Delicious curry down the street. Supple toilet paper. Judges - having judges nearby at all times allowed play to continue smoothly. It was very easy to get a snap decision from a judge and continue playing rather than get bogged down fiddling with a laser or looking something up. The BAD: Confusing and inconsistent rules on information sharing. It wasn't clear what was and was not legal with regards to information sharing. I agree that a match is between two players and at no time should any player give advice or in any way interfere in a game they are not part to. However, not being allowed to discuss results and potential implications of them during rounds removed a tactical aspect of the game, and was essentially unenforceable anyway, especially for those teams which spoke any language other than English. I'd simply establish more consistent rules here, and focus on allowing as much communication as possible, and only dissuading actively helping a player during a match. This also applies to standing - there is simply no good reason to keep pairings from players, and not knowing how we were doing definitely nullified any attempt to play tactically, or even have fun discussing it. This isn't international soccer, and no one here would take a dive anyway - let us have the info! The MEH:: The Pairings. This merely gets a meh instead of a bad as it was the first time out, and you had to try something. Overall however, I thought the pairing process provided little functional utility towards the success of the event, and in many cases detracted a bit from both the tactical and personal enjoyment. I fell on one end of the spectrum, simply because with Gremlins in my bag and Stake a Claim in every pool but one, I ended up playing the same strategy 4/5 rounds. I guess the on upside of this pairing process was to make it go incredibly quickly, as players soon realized they could just assign the desired master to each scheme pool, and with some strats being so tilted, often the decisions were incredibly obvious. It also limited the options to take advantage of the 'unlimited' format in terms of what could be bring - I had Nellie in my bag to deal with scenarios the Gremlins would struggle in, but she never came out, as we were able to take the easy route an optimize each round. A few things I would think about for next time: I think you need to decide upfront whether or not there should be significant down-side risk to the pairings, and then design from there. If there is no downside risk, then players will simply 'pre-optimize' their faction/master selection, and that will drive the entire process. I'd personally like to see a significant downside risk as well as upside reward, so that pairings 'matter', but that is up to personally opinion. Availability of information. I personally liked the impact knowing the opposing master had on crew selection, however, as it wasn't known until the pairings were essentially completed, it did not play in the pairing process. I'd consider having all masters announced at the start of the round so that that info could also influence pairings. I'd also consider leaving schemes unknown, so there is still some 'wow-factor' in the crew selection process. When you know everything going into the round, you tend to pre-select your crew. Spread of schemes and strats. Having such a drastic spread in strats and schemes creates info overload and players basically pre-select everything to their strengths. This balanced well against the non-event that was pairings - you always got the pool you wanted, so it wasn't an issue. However, if you shake it up and do something different, consider making the scenarios less extreme. I would consider different strategies but all the same schemes. (Perhaps revealing schemes after the pairings are done?) Number of players on a team. I'd grow the event to 7 players - one for each faction, or even 8 with crossroads seven. Larger teams, with info sharing of course, make the event even more interesting. If your intent was for the pairings to just be pablum, pair based on record and save us the time. If there is an intent to have pairings be a key part of the event, present some risk/reward to it! I'd personally prefer that risk/reward be based on the match up, as that is two sided and both teams can influence it, instead of simply on the strat/scheme available. This would also allow players to show their skills at improvising in sub-optimal situations, instead of playing their best list on there preferred table.
  13. Well done Mike. Element games was a fantastic venue - the friendliest staff and the softest toilet paper of any game store I've visited. I'd say the main thing to work on for next year is to encourage the U.K. teams to put up a bit more of a challenge. :-0 I have lots of thoughts on pairings that I will share later, but for what it was, it was fine. Importantly it didn't take to long, and all of my games finished all 5 turns, which is really important to me.
  14. Yuuppp - not sure why this was too hard for him. Our store owner can take some wrangling sometimes, I'll ask him about it in person...
  15. Not surprised at all by your stance - it is the norm after all. Our store is already generating 75%+ of its revenue in member fees & food and drinks, so is probably a lost cause in terms of motivating them to fight uphill battles to carry product. But hey, if I can have a place to play that makes money other ways and have to buy the product online, fine by me.
  16. Also, as I am throwing hail mary's today, any chance retailers can get in on ToS via the backer kit? I had him try but he couldn't figure it out, even with a blank $1 pledge account. Would be awesome to have a bunch of stock in the shop on release day.
  17. Nathan, Has there been any movement towards direct sales to retailers? Even at higher-than-trade pricing? It seems all the distributors are dying slow deaths with regards to product availability and customer service, mostly due to complacency that has come through their oligopoly, and the only way to maintain decent inventory is to be a large online seller that happens to have B&M backing. My local shop has basically given up trying to stock any wyrd products, even tho they are willing to match prices, simply because they cannot get anything fast enough (or anything at all!) from Golden or Alliance.
  18. I will be running three tables of Malifaux at NBG Expo on April 1st. This event is designed to introduce local and regional hobbyists to new miniature war games, and our section will feature ongoing demonstrations of the game as well as open play assisted by our local henchmen. So whether you know nothing about Malifaux at all, or if you already have a collection and are looking to dive in head first, be sure to check out our area at the Expo! There will also be a raffle for a prize - get a demo or play an open play game and receive a ticket! Full details on the expo are here: http://www.nubrandgaming.com/events/nbg-expo/ Saturday April 1st 1pm-9pm $10 Entry Fee (for non-members)
  19. Facebook Link: https://www.facebook.com/events/251576978611367 Announcing BKFaux Trios – a Malifaux team event, wherein teams of three take part in a 3-round tournament. It will be taking place at Nu Brand Gaming, a tabletop gaming venue in New York City. After a string of successful BKFaux ‘Grand Tournaments’, I decided to mix it up and throw our first team event. Event Ticket Cost: The cost of the event is $50 per team. Each ticket is for three entrants to the event. Buy tickets here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2816037 If everyone on your team is a member of Nu Brand Gaming paid in full for the month of March, please inquire about a discounted ticket. We are capping entrance of this event at 8 teams. This will ensure each pair of teams will have a comfortable and exclusive place to play that rounds games shoulder to shoulder with their team mates. The event is expected to sell out. You must purchase a ticket via Brown Paper Tickets to secure a spot: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2816037 Tickets are non-refundable but are fully transferable up to the start of the event. Please simply send me at email brooklynmalifaux@gmail.com if your team members change prior to the event. There is no need to print out tickets, simply arrive at the venue by 9:30am on Saturday March 5th. Tournament Rules: Scoring: The winning team will be determined by combining total Tournament Points (Win 3/Draw 1/Loss 0), Painting & Hobby (0-5 Rubric) and Team Spirit (0-5 Rubric) Team Spirit Rubric: 2 points for dressing in a team uniform! Can match or not, as long as its obvious you are a team! 1 point if your team releases a team video at least one week prior to the event. Example of a stellar team video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKv-fCZKAe0 1 point if your team performs a team spirit chant during the event. 1 point for the team that simply has the MOST team spirit, in whatever form it may take. Painting & Hobby Rubric: Display one full 50SS crew from each player that only includes models which are used during the event. Score 1 point for each fully painted crew to a table-top standard (some effort to base the model, shade/highlight etc.) Score 1 point if there is a cohesive team element to the teams. (Same thematic color scheme, same faction, shared display base, etc.) Score 1 point if models feature exceptional craftsmanship, painting talent, conversions, etc. (Point will be awarded to the 3 ‘Best in Show’ teams) All games will be played at 50SS. Strategy and Scheme pools will be announced prior to the event, pending the release of the Gaining Grounds 2017 document. Team Composition: Each team will consist of three players, with each player selecting a single Master for the event. The masters can be from any faction, but each team may only select a master once, regardless of faction. (Your team cannot select both Ten Thunders McCabe and Guild McCabe, for example.) Otherwise hiring restrictions are as normal for that master/faction, and players are free to make lists at the start of each round as normal. Pairings will be done Swiss style using gaining grounds TP/Diff/VP, both to determine which teams play each round as well as who plays whom within each team. Note that for team pairings only, total Diff is capped at +10 for the team. For example, Andrew’s team consists of himself, Tina & Murphy. They won in the first round with two wins by Tina and Murphy and a loss by Andrew. With 6 TP they pair off against Arash’s team, consisting of Arash with a win, and Jay and Silent Bob, who both drew, for a total of 5TP. Tina had the highest differential (First Tie-Breaker), so she plays Arash, while Jay had more Total VP (Second Tie-Breaker) than Silent Bob, so he will pair up against Murphy. Andrew and Silent Bob will slum it up at the bottom table. Please review and familiarize yourself with the 2017 Gaining Grounds document – It has everything you need to know! http://www.wyrd-games.net/s/Organized-Play-Formats-17km.zip We will be enforcing all Gaining Grounds 2017 Rules to the letter, Including painting requirements, with the exception of pairings, dice usage, game length and proxies. I will be doing a Swiss pairing system that matches GG2016 except that it will prevent any team from pairing against the same opposing team twice. You may use of any shape of polyhedral dice if you choose to use dice for tracking as described on page 4 of GG 2016, just be consistent and make your opponent aware of what type of die you are using if not a D6. All games will be played to 5 turns. (No random game length/flipping for additional turns.) Proxies are allowed. They must be fully painted like any other model, and must show an effort to match the theme and/or artwork of the Wyrd miniature. Use good judgement – things like Space Marines are obviously not ok. Players must have the physical rules for all models used, either the card or a photocopy from the relevant rule book. Players must accurately note down the schemes they selected prior to the start of the match to receive points for said schemes – absolutely no exceptions. Please bring a pen. If you record your schemes on your phone and your phone dies, you did not meet this requirement. We will be setting a relaxed 2:15 round time, with 15 minutes between rounds for pairings, reviewing strats & schemes, etc. All players are expected to complete their games in the allotted time. Saturday, 9:00am Doors Open. 9:30 Registration – Please arrive by 9:30am. Those arriving after the start of Round 1 will take a loss and then be paired accordingly in Round 2. 10:00 – Round 1 Pairings 10:15 – 12:30pm Round 1 12:30pm – 1:45 Lunch Break and Paint Judging 1:45 – Round 2 Pairings 2:00 – 4:15 Round 2 4:30 Round 3 Pairings 4:45 – 7:00 Round 3 7:00 Award Ceremony Venue Information: Nu Brand Gaming is located at 194 31st Street Brooklyn, NY 11232.

  20. We will be hosting a Malifaux event at Nu Brand Gaming in Brooklyn on January 21st.

  21. Yes. Old Major w/ saddle and Swine-cursed are the bees knees.
  22. I've had a lot of locals clamoring for more organized Malifaux play in NYC, as well as a lot of newer players just getting into Malifaux, and a few of us were spit-balling event ideas and struck gold. We will be holding a curated 3-round pre-matched tournament @ Nu Brand Gaming in NYC on Saturday October 22nd. What is a 'pre-matched' tournament? Simply an event that strives to match players up in a way that maximizes their enjoyment and hobby goals. this is a 3-game event, with all pairings, strats and schemes announced at the start. Players will be paired based on the following criterion in descending order as follows: Unfinished 'TFL' league matches in the Manhattan and Brooklyn conferences where both players are present First-time Malifaux tournament players Self-selecting 'New Players' Players' from different clubs/metas/regions Everyone else Note that because pairings are pre-set, it is possible to add and remove players at will and also stagger round times if needed, so if you have a partial scheduling conflict or concern, reach out to us and we will do our best to accommodate. We can also add additional rounds if players don't get their fix after three games! Please sign up via the Facebook event here and let all your friends know you are coming! This will help us generate the pairings in advance. Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1843842279167973 All participants will receive a Guilder!
