This slow grow will give players 13 weeks to build a crew from start to finish, encouraging painting, playing games, and participating in in-store events. Progress for everyone’s crews and games will be tracked as the slow grow continues so that everyone can see how they are advancing compared to everyone else. Faction dominance for games played and points earned will also be tracked, so that players can see how their nominated faction is performing in the group. The end result will hopefully be several players with large painted model pools to choose from, which have had enough time to slowly build and therefore understand their crew.

 

Important dates:

 

Confirmed: 

30/4/14 – Start of the slow grow. Games played with your nominated force count towards points as detailed below.

1/6/14 – Tournament

 

Planned:

22/6/14 – Painting Day

20/7/14 – Tournament

30/7/14 – End of slow grow. This is the final day to earn points.

 

Total points will be calculated each Wednesday night and updated scores posted on the Game Cube Miniatures page.

 

When starting the slow grow, players will nominate the Master they will be using, as well as their Faction. Some Masters will have a choice between two different factions (eg. Ten Thunders and The Guild), in which case they should nominate which Faction they are earning points for in the slow grow. This will not influence which models can be collected during the slow grow, our which Faction they can declare to be using from game to game, but shows which faction they want to earn points overall for as the games progress.

 

Scoring points for games played:

 

Entrants may earn points from their first two games of the week in store against other entrants. Wins earn 3 points, draws earn 2 points, losses earn 1 point. There will be other ways to earn points during the slow grow, which will be explained later. While more than two games can be played, only the first two games played will count. Only games played in store will count.

Bonus Points are able to be earned during the Slow Grow. These are detailed below, and are earned in addition to points earned normally from games:

 

Local Recruitment:

When purchasing your crew box from The Games Cube – 8 points, Max. 8 points

Further crew boxes purchased will not count towards points.

For each ten additional stones worth of models purchased from The Games Cube to suit your nominated Master – 2 points, Max. 12 points

(Does not need to be purchased in blocks of 10 to count. Score will be recalculated each week. Therefore, if you purchase 11 stones one week, you have 2 points. If you purchase 19 stones of models later on, you have purchased a total of 30 points, and the final score will be 6 points earned at that point.)

Upgrades do not count towards point cost for these scores

 

“I made it myself”:

2 points for every ten stones worth of models you end the slow grow with. Max. 20 points.

2 points for a set of five scheme markers made and painted (if necessary) by the entrant)

 

“That was something special”:

Play a game using a Henchman as the Leader – 2 points

2 points extra if all models in the crew are fully painted
