  1. Hmmm, interesting, interesting. Here are my predictions: 1. Neverborn (obvs) 2. Initial reaction is Guild, but I could also see Outcast. Still sticking with Guild, though. 3. Ressers. Perhaps the Gorgon? Surprised I hadn't seen anyone suggest this 4. I'm thinking Arcanists on this one. Silhouette kinda feels like it would be someone that aligns with either Raspy or Marcus. Feels very primal to me. 5. Gremlins based on size and (of course) the picture earlier in the post. 6. 10 Thunders. I feel like this character, thematically anyway, might tie into Sidir. 7. Outcasts. Mostly because that's all that's left, but I could definitely get a Outcast-y vibe from that shadow. I get why people might feel that new masters will risk cuddling the old ones, but considering that you tend to build at the table there are so many factors that go into play. You have to consider your opponent's faction, the available schemes and strats, and the terrain. It's difficult to say what will happen in the end. For now, just be happy that you've got a model coming when you Through the Breachers play through the Nythera campaign.
  2. Heh, after I posted I thought to myself: Now how long until something breaks and I get to stick my foot into my mouth. Luckily, everything's still fine.
  3. Typically, a brick and mortar store will place orders with a distributor for how much of whatever product they wish to place on their shelves. Once a distributor receives said product (my understanding is typically prior to the release date), then they hold onto the product until the release date hits. Once a product has hit this release date, then it is "released" to the brick and mortar stores. Now, and this is understandably confusing, a release date doesn't mean that the product is on the shelves. Stores are not supposed to put product on their shelves until the "street date". That is the date they are allowed to start selling said product. There are a lot of things (primarily in the production/overseas shipping side) that can delay product from being on the shelves at your store on the street date. Probably too many to list here. As someone who deals with some of the larger distributors, please try not to take out too many of your frustrations on your retail staff. They are at the mercy of when the product actually arrives before they can even do anything. All they can do is check to see if the product has been shipped by the distributors and not much else. If they are a store that actually takes preorders and orders accordingly, then that sounds like a pretty, damn fine store.
  4. The bit of ground that he's standing on looks like it might be an okay contact point. At the worst, you could probably carefully drill at a little bit of an angle if you feel the need to pin it. I generally don't pin my models. I'm just super careful with how I transport. After a year with Malifaux, I haven't had a problem yet.
  5. Yeah, I was considering that as a possibility. I'm an okay painter, not a great one, so I may have to practice some before the actual models come in. Honestly, the desire for the texture was more out of my need to be lazy and efficient. Would have been great to drybrush quickly and be done. I'll be good with them. Gonna have fun painting those guts! Even if I don't end up going with a burlap look, they still look great. I only got into Malifaux about a year ago, so I never had a chance to get the metal models (also, I'm just more comfortable with plastic). No complaints on this end as I'm happy they're coming back out.
  6. Should be an easy enough mod. Greenstuff into the guts to smooth it out and add the bugs. I really dig the design. Was hoping for a more burlap texture for dry-brushing, but they still look so awesome.
  7. I don't even play Ten Thunders and I feel the same.
  8. Hey everyone! We're going to be running a charity tournament at the Coliseum of Comics located in the Fashion Square Mall on Sat., Nov 14th at 3pm. Entry is any 2 critically needed goods such as canned goods, dried foods, diapers, etc., which will be donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank. You can check out their website for a list of other needed goods here: http://www.foodbankcentralflorida.org/site/PageServer?pagename=AboutUs_OurPrograms_FoodDrives#.VgwvrpdUXTF Tournament info: Event Type: Tournament Start Time: 3:00pm Entry Fee: 2 Critically Needed Items (see below) Prizes (in store credit): 1st - $25 2nd - $15 3rd - $10 Rules: This is going to be a 2-Round, 35SS game following standard rules. However, anyone who brings in additional items to be donated can use them during the game for various actions. Trade in the item in order to: - Add a "+" to any flip (max 3 times per flip) - Add a "-" to opponent's flip (max 3 times per flip) - Reflip any one card (no max) - Substitute as a soulstone We're hoping to get a lot of people out to this, so if you live in the area, tell your friends. Let's prove that good things can happen in Malifaux once and a while!
  9. Hey guys, Sorry this post is later than usual. Things have been crazy here. So, the big Nythera event is coming up. I just want to throw out that anyone who wants to challenge me (Alex) at the store, you are welcome to do so during any of our scheduled events or open play sessions starting Sep. 5th or later. I'll be representing Neverborn. We've got a handful of guys here that play different factions, so there's bound to be someone willing to take on other factions as well. Remember, every Saturday at 3pm is Malifaux at Fashion Square Mall. Also, as September 5th is the first Saturday of the month, we've got a special scenario that we've cooked up for you. I call it "Late to the Party". Details below. Late to the Party Today is National "Be Late for Something Day!" No, I'm not kidding. The event today will be a standard 35SS build following typical guidelines... with one exception. At any point after the 3rd round, for any reason whatsoever, you can field a single non-master figure at a cost of 10SS or less that doesn't count toward your initial build cost (no upgrades attached) as long as the figure matches the chosen crew faction. As an additional bonus, you don't need to disclose this figure until it is revealed. The figure will start within 6" of any border.
  10. Hey everyone, Here's our Malifaux schedule in August. Just like in July, the 1st Saturday of the month is an original event. Aug. 1st - Free original event: "We Struck It Rich!" Great news! You've just come across a huge deposit of soulstone. The bad news, so did someone else. Now, you're not just gonna let those varmints get their greasy mitts on those precious stones, are you? New strategy: "Bountiful Claim" Place a 30mm marker at the center of the board. This is the deposit of soulstones. At anytime during the game, if you are within engagement range of the deposit of soulstones your Master or Henchmen can take the "Resourceful Crewmember" action. A figure can only use this action once per round. This action can only be taken 4 times total (by both crews combined) during the game. (1) Resourceful Crewmember - Gain 1 soulstone. At the end of the game, if your crew has at least 2 more non-peon models within 6" of the deposit of soulstones than the other crew, then you have successfully claimed the soulstones. For each "Resourceful Crewmember" action taken during the game, this strategy is worth 1 less point. Aug 8, 15, 22, 29 - Open Play Look forward to seeing you there!

  11. Well, you're always welcome to come into the Fashion Square location on Saturdays if you'd like to meet some new players. As far as our Kissimmee location, if you're fine with tons of traffic, I'd just suggest taking I-4 West to Vineland, and then taking that to 192. Turn left and they aren't too far down on your left after that. I don't know the exact mileage, but at least you'd avoid tolls.
  12. Hey guys! So here at the Fashion Square Mall we're still going to be blocking out time for Malifaux on Saturdays at 3pm. The only Saturday we won't be running it will be on 7/11 due to another conflicting gaming event. July 4th - We're running a game this day with a custom scheme to replace "Hold the Line". We call it "Proudly Wave Your Flag". New rules: "This scheme starts the game revealed. Place a scheme marker in the center of the board. Designate a non-peon member of your crew as your flag-bearer. This model gains the action: (2) CREW PRIDE: This model raises their crew's flag high and waves it brazenly in the face of their opposing crew, ignoring all potential danger. This action can only be taken within 6" of the center marker. For every turn after the first that the flag-bearer uses the "Crew Pride" action and survives the round, their crew earns a point for the turn. This scheme can only earn a total of 3 points total." July 18th - Open Play July 25th - Open Play As always, you can check out our events calendar either on our website or on Facebook. Good gaming everyone!

  13. Oh man. I just started assembling my Hide and Seek crew today. This makes me very happy.
  14. Hey guys, Just wanted everyone to know that we're still running Malifaux through June at the Coliseum of Comics in the Fashion Square Mall. Many of our dedicated players are still really new at the game, so this is still an opportunity to get to know everyone and try out some new crews. The general reaction to running this game has been really positive, so we're hoping to see more growth as things move along. If anyone is looking for a great group of players and plenty of space, we hope to see you here! 3201 E. Colonial Drive M-11 Orlando, FL 32803 407-228-1210 coliseumofcomics.com facebook.com/coliseumofcomicsfsm
  15. Hey, guys! So, demos have been going pretty well with some of our 40K regulars giving Malifaux a shot and playing around with their first crews.
