Las Vegas Open is one of the premier wargaming events in the country and Malifaux will once again be in the thick of it!!!

LVO2022 takes places at the Rio Hotel and Casino Las Vegas Friday, January 28 through Sunday, January 30 and there are Malifaux events taking place all three days:

The Malifaux Friday Fun Pass features the return of the popular Double or Nothing Team Tourney and Honeypot Casino Brawl as well as Open Play for anyone who didn't get in town early enough to jump into the team event!

Saturday kicks off the main event with the return of the Fiendish Gamble GT!! Five rounds of Malifaux spread over two days and played on some of the best looking tables at all of LVO!

Full event details:

Friday, January 28

Double or Nothing Team Tournament--Work together with your partner in a micro-crew environment to claim victory as part of the Team Tournament. Each player needs their own 10 SS M3E Crew (plus leader and totem). While having a teammate selected ahead of the event is preferable it is not required; we will do our best to get solo players matched up with a teammate. Leaders for each half of the team can be from different factions. Rare limits on models apply to the team as a whole.

This event will use the Double Rush rules from the Gaining Grounds Season Two packet.

Honeypot Casino Brawl--Bring your favorite enforcer or minion to this battle royale brawl! This fun, casual play format is great for new players or players who want to socialize with a beer and a game of Malifaux. This event will use the All Out Brawl rules from the Gaining Grounds Season Two packet.

Players need any one non-Master, non-Henchman model with Cost 10 or less. This may be an Enforcer or Minion and up to one upgrade may be attached as part of hiring the model.

Malifaux 3rd Edition Open Play and demos--Didn’t get into town in time to take part in the other events? Come and get in a pick-up game with another one of the other stragglers at one of our lovely tables!

The Friday event packet can be viewed here

 

Saturday, January 29 and Sunday, January 30

Fiendish Gamble GT - Malifaux 3rd Edition 2 day Grand Tournament!--5 rounds of Malifaux spread over 2 days--battle it out to place on the podium, test your skills and compete in the Iron Scorpius, or HECK… go for both and prove you are the true Master of Malifaux!

Fiendish Gamble is a 5 round, 50 soulstone fixed faction tournament. Players will declare their faction when they check in with the organizer on Saturday. Scoring will follow the rules outlined in the Gaining Grounds Season Two packet.

Malifaux at LVO 2022 Update!

Ticket sales for the Las Vegas Open 2022 have exceeded expectations, and that means that the Malifaux 2-Day Grand Tournament has sold out! What does this mean if you were planning on coming to LVO2022 and didn’t purchase your ticket yet? We now have a Wait List that you can sign up for so that you get first crack at any tickets which become available! I’ve been working with the events coordinator for LVO to get us more space; what I need from you is to get your names onto that Wait List because the bigger numbers we have there, the more pull we have to take any tables away from events that haven’t sold out yet!
Sign up for the Wait List here!

Malifaux at LVO 2022 Update!

Good news everyone! With the last update I announced that the Malifaux events at Las Vegas Open 2022 had sold out and that I was working to get us some more space. I’m pleased to tell you that we have managed to get some extra space! Based on conversations with several of you in the community I anticipate that these tickets will sell out fast, so get your tickets ASAP! I’m excited that this is going to be the biggest and best LVO that I’ve been a part of!

I have finally finished the long drive back home to Texas after Las Vegas Open 2022, so it’s time to share the full breakdown of all of the events!
After LVO2021 was canceled due to Covid, it was great to get back to Las Vegas to flip some cards and I think my players would agree–we had 16 players on Friday and 20 in the 2-day GT for a total of 24 different players (12 played in both, 4 played on Friday but not the GT, 8 played in GT but not Friday)!! We had players come from all over with 8 different US states represented and 5 players even drove down all the way from up in Alberta!
We also had some really great prize support from our third party sponsors Mats by Mars, Cuttlefish Colors, and Top Doug Design and I wanted to make sure I gave them extra thanks for all of their support. I would also like to thank Wyrd for their continued support of Malifaux at LVO; unfortunately someone flipped the Black Joker on the Wyrd’s freight shipment (I blame Waldo), so their booth setup didn’t make it to LVO in time and I’ll be making sure my participants get their prize support from Wyrd shipped directly to them.
Based on the reaction I got from my players, everyone had a blast all weekend long! I’ll be returning to Vegas to host Malifaux at LVO2023, which will be happening January 27-29, 2023–so mark your calendars everyone, we’re going to keep growing Malifaux at LVO into one of the premiere events on the Malifaux tournament calendar!
