Still doin' it. Now with 3rd Edition as well.

Then part of the fun of playing her would be missing 😜

Hi, As the topic reads I'm looking for the Alternative Lilith Model with Scythe. Untreated would be ideal but not essential. I'm willing to pay Cash or trade for something if possible. I'm living in Germany but please offer from all regions. Thanks, bsm

Hi there everybody, Between October 28th and January 20th we will be having two leagues running at the Top Tables store in Cologne. First, there's Rapid Growth with slightly tweaked rules. This one's particularly aimed at beginners since we've been having quite a few of those lately. Of course you are also welcome to participate if you're a more seasoned player but want to start a new crew / faction. Rapid Growth will have 6 Game Weeks (2 Calendar Weeks) with 1 game respectively and you'll be able to earn your achievements any day that you agree upon with an opponent - there won't be fixed league days. Then, there's a Competitive League. This is aimed at those players who want to compete on higher levels with the most seasoned of players. Everyone will need to have a fixed faction and master with a 75 Soulstone Pool of models and upgrades that can not be changed throughout the league. Everybody will have to play one (or two, depending on attendance) game against all other participants. The game format will be 50 SS and Gaining Grounds 2018 but with no requirements concerning painted models. A win will earn 3 League Points (LP), a loss 0 LP and a draw 1 LP each. The winner will be decided by LP. In case of a draw VP and Diff will be the deciding factor. Both leagues will have an entry fee of 5€ in order to cover the prizes that will be available (Prize Kit is already on the way). Also, both leagues will have an official break between Christmas and the 6th of January - however you can still set up games with people who are available. In case you're interested in either format please send me a message or visit the Top Tables store in Cologne: Top Tables GmbH Sternengasse 1b 50676 Cologne / Germany See you there! Benjamin

Hi, you could visit the Drachental shop in Düsseldorf. Or if you're willing to make the trip come to Top Tables in Cologne. There is usually someone available to play - I'd be happy to hook you up. In addition, we're having a tournament on November 3rd. If you're staying this long, maybe this is for you. Cheers, Benny

I generally don't like Woe Is Me that much but if it is your preferred way to play Dora then maybe here are some useful things: Drop Candy. Although she is pretty good and has a variety of tools, she won't be able to give you her money's worth in most games. Her attack is pretty useless as every opponent will have a pretty good guard against Wp duels anyway. 2 AP + Ca Expert can rarely be used to their full potential as you're either busy trying to heal or just stand there with Defensive +2 and one Attack that's probably going to miss anyway. The aforementioned Emissary is a perfect fit for Dora - Conflux of Sorrow is easy one of the better Confluxes out there. Even if you just copied a Misery aura you're able to drop one summon per turn that way in order to either Focus Incite or whatever the occasion calls for. And Hungry Lands are simply awesome. I'm not a huge fan of Lilitu and Lelu (especially Lelu). Sure, he's cheap and she has a great Lure. But the 13 stones between the both of them can easily be used to take Nekima. She forces Wp duels as well and her presence alone will make opponents less likely to head straight for Dora. If need be she's very capable of just tearing something apart (even Yasunori). Tannen is great. Insidious Madness are great. They're basically nasty little bastards that annoy the heck out of your opponent and don't even require any form of support. Just let one of those run through a wall into some enemy models, use Induce Phobia and have it just stand there. Also, if you have difficulties keeping Dora alive: Consider taking Aether Connection. Sure, it blocks another Upgrade and you'll most likely have to decide between very good options, but the one more damage prevented may turn out to be the deciding factor - it has been for me on many occasions though I tend to play Dora with Box, FGF and Aether Connection.

No changes for September

Although I'm not extremely anxious right now, I fully understand the fears of the OP. I started Malifaux as a reaction to Warhammer 40k 8th Edition totally ruining the game by streamlining and trying to make it more accessible. In reality they made it a mockery of its previous self with the only thing really determines the outcome of a game is the amount of dice you're able to roll and re-roll or the number of Mortal Wounds you can inflict. Malifaux is a completely different animal - and I love it. Yes, it is challenging to enter and even more so to become a really good player. As a henchman my hands are always full with the newcomers and their questions - which I love as well. That's why I volunteered to hench in the first place. As mentioned before: I'm not really worried about 3rd since there is no real information available. But I would be very disappointed if Malifaux became a game like so many others where it doesn't really matter what faction you're playing since everything is only a copy&paste. If Wyrd (and the selected few in the closed beta) can pull it off and make the game easier to access but keep its tactical depth, the psychological elements as well as the variety of options then everyone wins.

Hi folks, We're doing it again! Our first tournament went quite well and everyone involved was pretty happy about it. We hope to achieve the same with the second instalment of our planned series.

Still offering every Sunday throughout August. In other news: The store owner slightly changed the policy and everyone interested in playing a demo on Sundays will now be able to do this free of any additional charges.

Hi, you can find quite a few people playing Malifaux in Düsseldorf - just look for Drachental. Of course you could make the trip to Cologne as well and visit us at there at Top Tables. Fridays and Sundays are usually our Malifaux days. Language will not be an issue as most of us know at least enough English to go through a game of Malifaux.

Information above is still valid for July!

I started out with Pandora as I liked the box a lot and what I was told about how she would play there was no real alternative. Now I've got some other masters; Reva, Titania, McMo and Lynch. However, I still like playing Pandora the most. Unfortunately I can't play her in any situation since she tends to bring tears of rage (or agony) to the other players' eyes - and I don't want to do this to new players especially.

Thanks! In case I don't forget I'll give a short review. I've only played a couple of games in this format and am very excited to see how it'll work out over the course of the event.

Hi all, on 22/07/2018 we will be hosting our first Malifaux Draft Event in the Top Tables store in Cologne.

Thanks a lot for the trade! I can only recommend Viruk as a seller. 👍

Hi all, we'll be starting the second Season of Top Tables' Shifting Loyalties Campaign on Sunday, 8/7/2018. The campaign will run for 10 weeks with 9 weeks of playing and one week to catch up due to several people being on holiday sometime during the campaign. 1 game will need to be played per week with campaign weeks starting on Sundays. Games need to be played either in the Top Tables store in Cologne or under the supervision of a third party elsewhere. Facts: 35SS starting arsenal (with all usual SL rules applying) At least 1 model to be added each week No Avatars We'll be using optional rules for Hide Outs, The Good Doctor and not cheatable Finished Off Flips. In addition, fully painted crews will receive a bit of a bonus and will therefore receive a on the flip to determine deployment. Currently there are 13 people confirmed but we expect a few more to participate. Since there is no limit, if you happen to live nearby and are interested in participating just let me know. We'd be happy to welcome you! Regards, Benjamin

Thanks to everyone involved for making this event such a great success! I'm looking forward to the next tournamend. Stay tuned!

She is also pretty amazing in a Reva Crew and allows you to not be required to take Guises of Death in order to be able to threaten the enemy half in Turn 1. In addition, Reva loves enemies with less Df and Wk so they can't escape all those Corpses thrown at them.

Although I totally agree with Europe requiring a better access to stat cards you still need to consider that customs will need to be paid no matter what. Therefore individual cards would probably be more expensive since the retailer needs to cover his cost for shipping and customs. That said, the only real improvement for us Europeans would be for a printing company / service this side of the pond to acquire a license to print Wyrd's stat cards - and I'm not sure how likely this is going to happen anytime soon. We - as a community - stick to ordering in groups to split shipping and customs. Every couple of months the one with the shortest straw has to place a large order and drive to customs to get the package. Really annoying task 😣

Just play a couple of games with your crew box and get a feeling for the models and playstyle. Then figure out how you want your gaming experience to change / evolve and then buy models accordingly.

I can hardly wait! Why is September still so far away 😣
