Introducing Tinker Taelor Aid! We will be raffling off this amazing commission painted Crossroads 7, painted by Gloomy (Instagram gloomy_paints). All proceeds will be split between 2 charities: Crohn's & Colitis UK (crohnsandcolitis.org.uk) and Maggie's (Maggies.org). Raffle tickets are £1 each and I will post anywhere in the world to the winner*. The draw will be conducted after the event on Saturday 29 June using WheelOfNames.com. Buy as many raffle tickets as you like by sending the appropriate amount by PayPal f&f to https://www.paypal.me/TomSkitt - please include a contact email in the notes. Cash will be accepted on the day for those in attendance, with leftover English GT 19 and 23 goodies given away with raffle tickets (but only in-person). *I will do my best to ensure the models arrive as safely and quickly as possible, but I cannot be responsible for damage incurred in transit. If any customs fees are payable, these are the responsibility of the recipient.

Now on sale - view the player pack here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bd3mg5kjoufypy75qack6/Player-Pack-TT4.pdf?rlkey=28urgp1ie45z9g22qvedsth7j&dl=0 You are cordially invited to Tinker Taelor (Soldier Spy) 4 – my beginner friendly, three-round tournament that this year will also be raising money for charity. The event includes slightly longer round times (two and a half hours per round) and a special award, ‘Welcome to Malifaux’, awarded to the best placed player new to the Malifaux tournament scene. Players of all ability and experience are welcome, but if you have been considering playing in your first Malifaux tournaments, Tinker Taelor is a great place to jump in! The last Tinker Taelor was held in August 2019, when twenty players battled it out for the title. Since then, we’ve all been through a lot. Kevin Gillett was the winner of Tinker Taelor 3 but sadly, he passed away in August last year. Our hearts go out to Kevin’s family, and it is a sad day indeed to lose one of our own before their time. In his memory, the winner’s trophy will be named for Kevin. During 2020, with everything else going on (you know what I’m talking about), Andy Bradshaw was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Thankfully, Andy is well and now cancer free. Cancer is a condition that has touched many of us, and to commemorate Andy’s struggle, the Wooden Spoon award will be named for all that he sacrificed in his fight against cancer. Kevin’s family and Andy have nominated a charity, and money raised will be split between those two charities. I hope you can join us to flip some cards, have some fun and do a little good in the world! Tournament Format This will be a Malifaux Third Edition tournament following Gaining Grounds Season 4. Please read this document carefully and contact me if you have any queries. Tinker Taelor 4 Charity will be a three-round, one-day event. On registration, players will commit to a single faction they will be playing for the entire event. A copy of the Gaining Grounds document can be found here: https://www.wyrd-games.net/malifaux. At the beginning of each round you must declare a leader from your chosen faction then hire a legal crew totalling 50SS (including upgrades). Only models that have had an official rules release (available on wyrd-games.net/malifaux or on the official app) will be considered legal. Dead Man’s Hand models are not considered legal. Game Variant - Singles: when Hiring, Masters not sharing a Keyword with the Crew's Leader cannot be hired. The event will be run using www.bag-o-tools.com. The tournament results will be reported to Malifaux Rankings – please advise if you wish to be anonymous. Strategy and schemes are revealed below. All models must be assembled and securely attached to the appropriate sized base. Painted models are not compulsory, but are strongly encouraged. Reward, in the form of raffle tickets, will be allocated to players using painted crews. Tournament Schedule Each game will last two hours and thirty minutes including set-up. Strategies and Schemes as per Gaining Grounds 4 are listed below. Please note: Dark Sphere does not open until 12pm, so while we can use the venue from 10am, purchases may not be made until the store opens. 10:00-10:30 Registration 10:30-13:00 Game 1: Flank / Plant Explosives Death Beds; Sweating Bullets; Information Overload; Take Prisoner; Ensnare 13:00-13:45 Lunch & Painting 13:45-16:15 Game 2: Standard / Stuff the Ballots Let Them Bleed; Power Ritual; Deliver A Message; Hold Up Their Forces; Protected Territory 16:15-16:30 Break 16:30-19:00 Game 3: Wedge / Raid the Vaults Let Them Bleed; In Your Face; Outflank; Espionage; Take Prisoner 19:00-19:30 Clean Up & Prizes In the event of odd numbers of participants, a ringer will be available who will be removed from the final tournament standings.

I wanted to highlight a couple of things I think are errors in MoM, just to make sure they don't get missed: Rocketeer has an action called 'Ignite Fumes' - this action already exists in Tri-chi with a completely different effect. I think a cornerstone of M3e was to ensure common rules worked the same, so this is perhaps a little confusing. Kara's Play with Prey action "moves" the target. The trigger allows an attack on models "pushed"... which would be no-one... if the trigger is just intended to discard a scheme marker, then that's incredibly confusing for new players. Loving the new book, just hope these can be looked at before the cards go to print.

Saturday Social I've booked tables at Navigation Inn for 7.30pm on the Saturday eve. Some people have confirmed attendance already, please let me know as soon as possible if you haven't: above a certain number they'll need to get extra staff on, so I said I would confirm. It's a Harvester, so pretty standard food and a reasonable choice, but it's the most convenient for the location - about 30 minute walk or 5 minute drive from Lee Valley Athletics Centre. -

I would like to give a shout out to some of the companies that have supported us in putting on the EGT: Wyrd Games, of course, for the fantastic jo0b they do in supporting not only the game we all love, but also the community! Rampage Games for providing fantastic markers and all the doohickies you might ever need to play - https://rampage-games.com/ Wayland Games, quality provider of models and terrain in the UK - https://bit.ly/3STQjCR (there's no kick-back or anything like that associated with this link, it just tells Wayland we sent you so they can see how beneficial it is to support Malifaux events). -
