@OldManMyke Despite really want to come and see you all, looks like I won't be coming to nationals.

Whoever is next on the reserve list drop me a message. If I don't hear anything by the end of the week I'll guess its fine for me to offer it up to some of my locals??

@OldManMyke What time are we planned to finish each day? 

Not tried the blessed yet I'll have to give it a try

I find emissary and snowstorm work as a decent combo so it's not really one of t'other.

the place and pushes from snowstorm means that the single turn range of emissary is huge and while he's sitting in the middle of opposing crew you have time to get the rest of your crew in position.

but probably more to do with how I play than solid tactics.

His main job is to look scary but I think he's solid with SnowStorm's place he can get off some decent sneaky charges and gives another ice mirror to bounce through.

there are probably better models for the job but he's definitely been fun

@Treehouse we've all done it. To be fair I had to double check when you said it.

Push is a "may" so you don't have to do it. 

True,  shows how little I used it forgot the -2 was just to trigger attacks.

I don't tend to use ice mirror must just due to the drop in Ca value means I need to throw a higher card. 12" range I've found to be enough when snowstorm can carry her around. 

Ice mirror I do like for throwing out the ice pillars though. Nice to shut off lanes early and the drop in Ca doesn't really matter there.

@Patzer Cheers. I like seize as I often over extend myself. Not tried her with imbued energies yet but I'll give it a try see how it holds up.

I've recently switched from Ressers to Arcanists kicking off my change with 'tina. Thought I plug a post here where I give a quick run down of what I've picked up so far

There are a few tournament reports and painting post further back on the blog as well covering my Arc'17 progress if people are interested too.

Paid and looking forward to it

Tickets booked for all 4.

Q. if you have all the dates booked in and guessing the tickets are going up through the DaffCon site again. Would a single Showdown "season" ticket be worth thinking about?

I know there are plenty of us who aim to make all the showdowns and if we brought a ticket at the start of the year it would save a bit of effort (yes I'm that lazy) and would mean you could have at least some of your budget in place a lot earlier. (maybe season ticket holders get a little bonus like an extra token or a hug from the TO?)

I've been having a few games with the band preparing to take them to a tournament.

How I got on and my thoughts on the crew are here

Abnormalifaux - Crossroad seven 

Never meet your heroes, I'm a big disappointment in person.

Nice work!

Ticket brought - Peter Shepherd.

Cheers for the kind words people. Fingers crossed I'll get to test out Resser Marcus on the table soon

I'm just starting to have my first proper look at Arcanists in the form of a resser themed Marcus crew.

Still need to get the big man on the table but looking forward to so beast type tricks.

Cheers for all the feed back I managed to take Nico to a tournament yesterday and didn't come last so there's hope.

Currently running Nico, Mort, Mali child, Sybelle, Necro and two belles. Oh and if you're wondering luring something close by into range of pounce and smell fear then hitting it with a fast necro all while within Nico's + bubble is a bit tasty.

@OldManMyke On the off chance can you add me (Peter Shepherd) to the reserve list please Mike. 

I've been trying to have a bit of a running commentary of my attempt to learn Nicodem recently so I thought I'd share a few of the posts here as well.

Hope you enjoy it, maybe learn from my mistakes. I'll try and keep adding to them until something clicks and I work out what I'm supposed to be doing.

Banning someone from an event should be a final resort, used only after every other option has been exhausted.

If someone has been warned and still causes trouble then a ban might be an option. But if said person has been banned just because they're not friends with the TO then that is out of order. If you just want to play your friend set up a closed casual play day not a tournament.

People are always going to clash but the point of being a grown adult is to understand how to react like an adult in these situations.

I'm sure there are plenty of other factors to this that I don't know but on the surface banning someone who has done nothing wrong because you don't like who they are is only a short step away from banning someone because you don't like what they are.

(not 100% any of that is actually English or makes complete sense but its been a long day)

Realised its been ages since I put any of my painted stuff up on here so I thought I'd throw up a link to my latest blog type thing with my crossroads 7

Crossroads 7

I will get back into the habit of uploading pictures on here again soon.
