Malifaux at the London Grand Tournament: 25-26 September 2021

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get back around a table... As COVID restrictions start to be lifted, I think it's time to be brave and make plans again: how about a two day tournament in September? Perfect for a fun weekend of gaming and preparation for the UK Nationals!

The London Grand Tournament is expecting to go ahead with the latest new date, 24th to 26th September, and I want Malifaux to be a part of it. It's our chance to share this amazing Malifaux community at the UK's biggest cross-system gaming event. I will be running a five round, two day event on the Saturday and Sunday: plenty of time for casual play and socialising on the Friday; the full weekend of gaming I'm sure we've all missed; early finish on the Sunday.

World events have understandably taken their toll on the previous two attempts to organise the event during 2020, but please let me assure you: in the event of another postponement due to COVID-19 virus, tickets will be transferred or refunded. Please take the chance and book your tickets as soon as possible so we can start reserving as much space as possible.

As this tournament is part of a larger event, I have made some adjustments to the usual way I run things - please read the tournament pack carefully which can be found here. Some highlights are below:

The LGT will be a five round event over two days. On registration, players will commit to a single faction they will be playing for the entire event.

Strategy and schemes are revealed below and taken from the Gaining Grounds 2 document. All Adjusted Rules from pg11 of the Gaining Grounds document will be used.

Painted models are compulsory [we don't want to be shown up by the 40k players, do we?]. A model is considered painted when it is noticeable that effort has been taken to colour all the parts of the miniature appropriately. Models in coloured plastic are exempt from painting requirements. I will instruct you to remove any unpainted miniatures from the table.

Each game will last two hours and fifteen minutes including set-up.

There's information regarding travel and accommodation on the LGTpresents website (and copied or abbreviated into the tournament pack), so worth checking out. As an affordable accommodation option, the Lee Valley Camping and Caravan Park is very close to the venue and offers cabin/wigwam rental as well as general camp site hire.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me - I will keep this post updated as plans progress.

Hope to see you there!

do we know for certain if the title cards will be legal this will determine if i will come or not

My rule, as per the tournament pack, are that once the finalised rules are freely available to all - ie. on the official app - they are legal choices with suitable proxies.

So basically.... no, I can't say for certain.
