So I've been away from the forums for a while now, and unsurprisingly my old threads are gone, so I guess I'll start a new one. I have no intention of posting all of my models, but I figure sharing my current projects is a good idea. For starters, my most recent completion, Dark Carnival.

Just Games in Rochester, NY has Malifaux night on Tuesdays from 6pm to close.

Rochester, NY will have an event on March 5th. Come join us. https://www.justgamesrochester.com/malifaux-march/

Lock-in Event This is a fun, tongue in cheek event. Do not take it too seriously and have a good time. Scheme Rules – Each player may choose 8 Schemes to form their scheme pool for the day. No scheme may be used more than once. Round 1 25 Soulstone – Henchman lead Standard deployment – Head Hunters 45 minutes Round 2 Team game – 30 Soulstones Players will be split into two tiers; upper and lower. Upper tier players will be paired with lower tier players. The upper tier player will build a crew using a master as the leader, while the lower tier player will build a crew lead by a henchman. Both players will have access to their own cache. Unspent soulstones will become a communal pool, with no more than 4 stones combined. Teams will score strategy points collaboratively, but scheme points individually. Teammates are “friendly” to one another. Deployment – Modified corners. Each player will have a corner deployment, with teammates sharing a side of the board. Strategy –Modified Turf War – Requires one model from each player to gain the point. 2 ½ hours Round 3 The Gang up Players will be broken up into three tiers. Top tier players will build standard 50 Soulstone crews. Mid Tier and Bottom Tier players will be paired off into teams following the round 2 rules with 25 stones for each player. Additionally, the team players will have their hand sizes reduced to 4 cards. The Individual player will count their scheme points double for this round. Deployment – Close Strategy – Extraction 2 ½ hours Adjustments will be made as needed due to attendance.

Greetings one and all. It is now the month of Halloween. A month of thrills and chills. So, Millennium games will be hosting a night of Malifaux to get your creepy fun in. On Saturday, October 24th, Millennium games will be holding a lock-in. A Malifaux tournament will be run during this lock-in. The Malifaux group will be gathering starting at 7 pm. Tournament will start at 7:30 pm. Shop closes at 4 am, and we will likely play the night away. But, for such a night, you can have just any tournament. No, you have to have a special tournament. More details will be forth-coming in the near future, but for now, be prepared for a tournament of challenges and treachery. It will be a fixed faction format, and you will likely need both a Master and a henchman at some point in the night, so plan accordingly. This will be a night of fun and odd challenges, so don't take it too seriously. The entry fee for the night will be $20. More details to follow.

"Leave the Kitchen Sink" Tournament What is that? That is a gaining grounds tournament. But why the funny name? Well, the soulstone amount for this tournament is going to be 40 ss. That means you have to make some tough choices. So, to be succinct, there will be a 40 ss Gaining Grounds Tournament held on September 20th at Pair A Dice Games. The store opens at noon, and games will start at 1230. $5 gets you in the event, and 3 rounds will be played to determine the winner for the day. So come on down to play. Fun will be had by all.

Metal Toolbox and magnets. Malifaux models have some funky poses and angles, so trying to get them in foam can be tricky, so i bypassed the system entirely. I've seen the discussions on the baking trays, and jury rigging things, but a good 3-4 drawer metal toolbox holds plenty of miniatures without issue.

What would happen if Joss were to lead a group of Nephilim against the Guild? What if Montressor followed a bunch of gremlins on a raid? Francisco moonlighting with some Rotten Belles?

Rules for this format can be found in the "Alternate tournament formats" file. Store opens at Noon, with the first round starting at 12:30. Entry is $5 with all proceeds going towards prize support.

All of these trackers are nice, and there have been a few I have considered, but I will never go away from using Jelly Beans for tracking my soulstones. Too much fun to eat a soulstone when I use it.

Our local group has started a semi-monthly painting contest. This has been done to encourage us to paint more, and to possibly get input from others both in and out of our group on how to improve or what is working well. These are the entries for the first. Help us decide the winners.

Why limit it to Nico. I managed 63 points during a league game with Molly. I'm pretty sure I've done better than that, but that is the one that comes to mind.

It is time to challenge ourselves. Time to see who can paint really well. Time to get some models finished. (And who doesn't need that?!) So, it is time to have a painting contest. Here are the ground rules. Each entry will consist of one (1) model. This month will have no theme, but future contests will have themes as chosen by the coordinators. The model may be assembled and primed, but no more at the start. Proof required (either a photo or showing me in person). All painters have until midnight on April 19th to submit one (1) photo to me via PM, at which point the entries will by uploaded to the Wyrd Forums for voting. Top entries after 1 week of voting will receive prizes. Painters may submit up to 4 entries. VERY IMPORTANT RULE: The top winner is responsible for setting the theme for the next contest. They will not be eligible to enter in the contest they set the theme for. Fee will be $5 per entry. All entry fees will go in to prize support. Please direct any questions to me on the Western NY Malifaux facebook group, or on the Wyrd Forums. Gabriel / Bruglyother
