"Here in the Twin Cities Malifaux community, we’ve begun a Shifting Loyalties campaign, coinciding with the global Malifaux event Divergent Paths! My first opponent is a local guy who, because he has an infant (whom he loves?), is unable to come out to the stores. So I faced him in his lovely home in the suburbs, in a showdown which combined both the Campaign and the Divergent Paths event, as we battled over a wayward child who just came to Malifaux and was being hunted by Witchling Stalkers."

Below are the lists that were brought and the following link contains the entire write-up: http://midwestwargaming.com/campaign-battle-report-parker-barrows-outcasts-v-jakob-lynch-ten-thunders-malifaux/

My list for week one of the Campaign:

Parker Barrows
– Highwayman
Doc Mitchell
Bandido
Bandido
Bandido
Mad Dog Brackett
Johan
Sue
Big Jake
+3 scrip

The Campaign has slightly different listbuilding rules, limiting me to only one faction upgrade paid for by soulstones in my first list. Up to 3 soulstones can be left for your ‘scrip’ bank.

My opponent’s list:

Jakob Lynch
-The Rising Son
Hungering Darkness (0)
The Illuminated x2 (14)

Hey everybody, I noticed the pinned MW Calendar is looking a little sparse so I combed through the forums and tried to add all your MIDWEST events in one calendar. If I missed something please let me know.

Minnesota wargamer Alex Vien/TheGreatSerpent has written up an awesome battle report with his favorite Outcast vs the devious Gremlins.

Alex is preparing for the Renegade Open and has been experimenting with the idea of having an 'All-Comers' Parker Barrows list that he can drop into any matchup. In this battle report he continues to test out that experiment and gives a turn by turn re-telling of his game. If you enjoy his batrep, leave a comment for him.

Hey all, I recently had a chance to talk with Kat Martin who has been crushing the midwest painting competitions. She works for Dark Sword miniatures but she competes in almost any category she can, including winning in 2014 a 1st place medal in the Wyrd Miniatures manufacturer competition. 

Anyways, if you are a painter and are looking to either improve or want to read about how a pro did it, check out the interview. There's also some gorgeous models in there.

Hi, I am a wargamer from Iowa and I'm looking for Malifaux content creators interested in sharing their content to a larger audience. I just started a website www.midwestenwargaming.com and the purpose of the site is to create wargaming content relevant to midwesterners. I must admit, I don't know a whole lot about Malifaux but I know this game is popular and was hoping to include either battle reports or relevant articles on my site.

So, 

if you enjoy writing articles and want a place to pose them

or

if you create youtube battle reports and want some increased exposure

please message me.

Thanks
