Bad Things Happen!

The gate to Malifaux remains open. Mercenaries, Adventurers, Heroes and Bureaucrats are pouring through from our world. Alliances are being made, lines are being drawn and now you must choose a side and fight.

On the 27^th of October NJ Gamer will be hosting a Malifaux tournament at The Warstore Weekend. The Warstore Weekend runs from October 26^th to the 28^th at the Crowne Plaza in the Meadowlands, NJ. It will be a great weekend of gaming in Northern NJ.

Again the tournament is on the 27^th of October, which is a Saturday. Registration begins at 12:30PM with a start time of 1PM.

Onto the details!

This will be a 35 SS Scrap played over 3, 90 minute rounds. For the tournament players must choose a faction. Between rounds players can change their forces but must stay within the same faction. The tournament will be run using the standard Gaining Grounds organized play rules. This will be a Fixed Shared Strategy Tournament using the Domination Scoring Format. The most recent errata will be used and all current books are allowed. Proxies are not allowed and models that haven’t been released yet cannot be used. If you have any questions you can contact the TO at Patrick.cussen@gmail.com.

There will be Malifaux events at Templecon this year, stay tuned for updates!

Wyrd, you made my day when I logged in this morning and saw that I had been selected.

Now its back to work, which is unfortunatly very puppet free.

I thought the tournament was very well run and had a good time as well. I played Colette and took top spot in the event.

The only thing that could be adjusted was like PP said the competetiveness of the second scenario. You could get 7 points in both without ever having to engage your opponent in combat.

Also I am not sure that using a victory point system is a valid way to track a malifaux tournament. For instance. The second place player and myself were tied at the end of the three rounds with 23 points.

To determine the winner between us they used strength of schedule, which in the end cost the perdita player the victory because he had shutout two of his opponents, while I had only shut out one of mine. You could argue I played better opponents, but you can also argue he was better then I was.

you would need to give me time to figure out a better way to do it, but it would be hard.

I'm glad you enjoyed the tournement overall.

The second scenerio is something that I get mixed responses about, I intend to either change it or replace it at some point but I just need to come up with something better...

VP... This is one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't things. We use VP for two major reasons. First VP are integral in the game of malifaux, its one of the few games that you can win and not have any models left on the feild. Secondly statistically speaking it gives more variation then any other method od scoring, so therefore you should have less ties. There is probably a better way to score a game in malifaux, but for the life of me I can't think of a better way that still fits, and I've given it alot of thought.

But anyways. If you enjoyed playing this year be sure to come back next year for an even bigger and better tournement!

On a side note, someone who played in the tournement lost a model, I have it with me. If its yours let me know and I'll pop it in the mail.

Your credit card company or bank will do the conversion for you.

These are awsome sculpts, they've been out for awhile though. Their based upon a graphic novel line. My only probelm with them is they are kinda small.

One of the biggest things I like about Wyrd as a company is the fact that they do put out Limited Edition stuff. I for one like to be able to bring something to a Con that people don't get to see every day.

Thats correct, Fridays tourney will bet at 2 pm, while Saturdays starts at 11 am. The times could change, but i think everything is set now. Rumor has it there will be fantastic prizes!

Yupp, we will be there with some nice suprises.

Standard Malifaux Tournement Rules will apply.

I'm a big fan of the Reaper Master Series, its my go to paint right now. GW metalics are still my preferred metalic though.

Welcome, may your pockets be full with soul stones.

I'm going to require an actual fate deck. I think that will eliminate more problems then it will cause, as most people that i've met are familiar with the fate deck symbols and not with the standard playing card conversion.

As for sleeves, go right ahead. However all the sleeves must be the same.

My biggest complaint is that there is nowhere in the bag to convenitantly stick a tape measure. Other then that its a great bag.

Expect more details on the tournement early next week.

What I can tell you though, to answer the questions that you asked specifically. The most recent Rules/Errata and FAQs will be used. Any model from either book can be used, however I'll have to get back to you about the acceptable use of proxies.

Welcome Welcome, there are a fair number of upcomeing events in the area that you should look into. Enjoy the game...And school!

I'll be sending you an email shortly.

I agree, I like Battlefoams products, but I think they are going to get alot of negative pubilicity from this.

As I understand it, the C&D letter isnt asking Sabol to stop makeing foam, it is instead asking Sabol to track the amount of Outrider foam they sell.

The Wyrd Battlefoam bag is a very nice bag, it allows you to store everything for the game in one spot except for a tape measure. They do sell additional foam trays on their website. While expensive they make a great product, I highly recommend their foam.

There are other options out there, most of them are cheaper the Battlefoam, one company that I've had pretty good luck with is Sabol. They make wonderful, inexpensive bags, however there foam isnt all that good.

Basically it comes down to how much your willing to spend, I'd set a budget then work from there.

As it stands now, our schedule is Friday and Saturday, there will be a tournement starting at 10 am, the around 6 pm or so we will start up demos and open gameing. There will be a more definate schedule in the next few weeks, right now we are just trying to come up with ideas to make our tournement unique.

Proper spelling and grammer will be in attandance at the event.

As the title of this post suggests, this is going to be about the upcoming Malifaux Tournements at the WarStore Weekend October 22nd thru the 24th.

As it stands now, there will be a tournement Friday at 10, as well as one on Saturday at 10. So far they are going to be pretty standard 35 point SS tournements. What I'm looking for is ideas or things that the community would like to see in a tournement.

When useing Testors Dull coat, make sure you shake the can alot. Shake it for what you think is long enough, and then shake it some more.

For protecting my models I prefer Krylon Crystal Clear Flat, it works well and is very inexpensive, and provides excelant protection.

If I was going to run this tournament here is what I'd do.

Everyone purchases a box from your FLGS, randomly match up your particapants in two's. Each pair plays a game at the lower of the two point values possible with the boxes. This goes on for however many rounds is nessacary to get a winner.

I'd also probably remove the restrictions on number of soulstones for this event.
