So you agree with my original point. Great! Thanks, Yew!

It's the 26th now.

If we were pre-ordering Faction books at GenCon and not buying them, y'all should have said so, Kyle.

There are actually more models than you might think that can do this. Any model with Leap or something like it is a decent contender.

1. Deploy the model in the corner so the marker can be placed within 3". A marker is a bit over 1" big, so say 4" deep already.
2. Turn 1 drop a marker, walk and Leap. Take Silurid (Mv 5), which gives you 5" move and 6" place, so you get around 12" movement from that. 16" deep already
3. Turn 2 double walk + Leap => you're close enough to the other corner now. You have some movement to spare, so place yourself accordingly for the power play next turn
4. Turn 3 drop a marker, leap and place the second marker => score first VP here
5. Turn 4 double walk + Leap => 10" walk + 6" leap + 1" model base => 21" to the third corner
6. Turn 5 Walk + Leap brings you in range of the corner, so drop your third marker

Mv 5 is not really that extraordinary on these types of models. You have First Mate who has 6" for example. Widow Weaver on the other hand actually can't do this solo. Her Place is a bit further, but at the start of the activation. She loses her Place on Turn 1 as there are no web markers yet. I generally run her for this though as she is decently proficient in combar and can protect the markers you drop.

Whether your opponent will allow you to do that is another thing

This math only works with zero terrain.

I loved it. I've only recently discovered Third Floor Wars and I'm super into it. 

I thought it was interesting that the guest (I feel bad for forgetting his name, gentleman from Arizona) didn't mention the Steam Arachnid Swarm, which seems like a really great minion that a lot of Arcanist players are excited about. He definitely got me excited to put my Marcus crew back on the table very soon!

Is anyone in the beta already?

 

 

They said it's going to start shortly after Gencon, so I assume that's when invites would start going out.
