Saturday, October 22nd, from 9am to 11pm: Tournament day! This will be a three round tournament, scored Gaining Grounds 2016, at 50ss, locked faction, for up to 16 players. Rounds have a 1:45hr time limit with a 20min break between rounds, and a 1hr lunch/dinner break after round 2. The floor opens at 9am, check-in with the TO opens at 9:30am, and games will start by 11am. Open gaming will be available after the tournament is over.

• Round 1 - Extraction, standard deployment
  • Convict Labor, Hunting Party, Exhaust their Forces, Search the Ruins, and Mark for Death
• Round 2 - Headhunter, standard deployment

• Round 3 - Interference, stand deployment
  • Convict Labor, Hunting Party, Exhaust their Forces, Undercover Entourage, and Detonate the Charges

I've tried that set-up a few times. When it works, it works great; hazardous terrain at +1dmg can really add up, stick decaying aura (?? the upgrade that deals 2dmg if an enemy starts and ends its activation in the aura) on Jaakuna for more fun. On the other hand though, jaakuna tends to be a bit squishy and can be taken down pretty easy under concentrated fire; i also have trouble maneuvering her into position effectively, and im using belles/doxies to move her when they should be moving my opponent.

Idea - add a little QR code with all boxed models, scan the code to add the cards/upgrades from the box to the app. Option to buy all of a factions cards/upgrades for $x - i think the same is done in the Warmachine app (warroom?).

So what about those Axe-men? What are they actually called, and whats up with the changing ht mechanic?

Spot on Nathan. Exactly what was lurking in the back of my mind when I saw Luther.

On a side note, I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight anyways...

Donnie Darko?

Not the Donnie Darko bunny, of that I'm sure. I keep thinking its from the Twilight Zone movie, the story of the little boy with the crazy powers.... idk, it'll come to me eventually, probably in some horrible nightmare.

I feel like I've seen that rabbit somewhere else maybe.... The Twilight Zone movie, or some other 80's-ish horror flick?

The Yan Lo's beard shirt does kinda look like its flipping me off though...

Yup, I need all of those.

Nightmare Von Schill. 

I picture him standing on a turnbuckle, in full shirt ripping action, with a knife clenched in his teeth.

This will be the go-to thread for all things Malifaux related happening at Black Dog Hobby and Game, with the first post being updated to reflect current or coming events.

Coming Soon:

November 27th, 2016 - Join us for a 3 round Enforcer Brawl tournament! The tournament will adhere to Gaining Grounds standards, but scoring will be cumulative across all three rounds to determine rankings. The event will not be locked faction, players are free to bring whatever enforcer they prefer to each round. Players will also be allowed a 'side-board' enforcer which they may swap into the battle when they respawn during a round. However, this swap is only allowed once per round, so if a player decides to swap out their current model for the side-board model, they must use it for the remainder of the round. Players should also be on the look out for interactable loot markers during each round for a chance at more prizes!

Noticed she was missing from the webstore... Temporarily out of stock, or a glitch perhaps?

Does the Hunting dogs ability stack? i.e. two dogs within 1" of a model equals -2df?

It's going to be a Wyrd and wild weekend at Black Dog Hobby and Game!

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up Nathan.

I was looking for the 30mm victorian base inserts on the store last night and noticed they were absent. I looked again earlier today and noticed that 30mm graveyard, orphanage, ghost town, and asian zen were all missing as well. Are the base inserts going out of production? Or perhaps (with luck) are they being switched to plastic? I've grown rather fond of them and i'd hate to see them go...

When i unboxed the new McM kit, i took one look at the Zombie Chihuahau sprue and said 'nope. i'll stick to the old model.' I wrestled with Yan Lo's beard, and eventually conquered it, but seeing the leg and tail as seperate pieces for the chihuahua broke my spirit.

I haven't played with her yet but looking her over ANZ strikes me as a sort of super Gaki. I think you could air her with Gaki for a nicely themed crew.

Thats exactly the first thing i thought when i saw her - Super Gaki, or even Queen of the Gaki. I may put some extra thought into running her now...

So can Cassandra still cheat fate or burn stones while shes paralyzed? on df flips that is

cool thanks, we werent sure how it was supposed to work but we did play it that the coryphee still activated that turn.

and on a similar subject, if cassandra gets paralyzed after shes activated, do things like Southern Charm or harmless still apply? does she still get a df flip when attacked while paralyzed?

if a Coryphee gets paralyzed before its activation in a turn, but receives reactivate from a Performer's Precious later on that same turn, can the Coryphee still activate?
