EricJ Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Ok, now that the Henchman program is officially official, I wanted to give you all a place to ask questions and such about it, and about the application process. Looking forward to working with you all! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattausten86 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have one question..... do i have to run events at a store because my nearest store is an hour away whereas ive got 2 gamming clubs that are within 30mins away from me and there only 2 players where i play and not sure about the other one. unfortunatley lincolnshire lacks any gaming store that is not a GW. cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I understand the challenge with GW stores everywhere in some places. I think the best idea is to give us a bit of an idea about the gaming clubs near you, and the gaming environment around you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattausten86 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 unfortunatley,with gw being the major player in lincs,the main games played at gobstyks(lincoln) are gw games,they are very set in there ways,although i did play a fair bit of warmachine,but that was only against one guy all the time,ive tried talking him into playing malifaux,but again is very set in his ways. Now the lost legion(scunthorpe)isa different story,they do play a lot of warhammer,but there are so many diffent games bing played,that i am sure i could convert most players to malifaux,ive already got master_of_ulthwe playing. Apparently theres a gaming club just around the corner from me,but they only play historical games,but i could give it a shot. like i said before Gw games are very very prominent in this part of blighty mainly because their stuff is easy to get without goin on the net. cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerealkiller195 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 luckily for me Malifaux was one of those games everyone had their eye on for one reason or another. Then i came along with two friends at a game store i always hang out at. Now there are talks of getting the line put into the store a possible tournament in a month or two AND we have 10 or so additional people interested. Looks like the moon was just right.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregdorf Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 What counts as an event for the Henchman program. would it count If I ran painting classes and contests based around the Malifaux product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werecat Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 When you become a henchmen, will your forum prophile be marked as such? It would be nice for players to know who to go to on the forums for their area. Plus seeing other people with shiny henchmen tags will hopefully motivate me to get my second box painted up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousBeans Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 what about prize support? Will Wyrd be doing nice shiny medals, t shirts etc or such a-la Privateer or will the henchmen have to come up with something themselves, such as biscuits and cake?

Zee Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 The cake will be a lie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavic Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 What counts as an event for the Henchman program. would it count If I ran painting classes and contests based around the Malifaux product? I second this question. I would certainly expect demos and tournaments to qualify, but are there any other event types that might count? I would also like to know if there will be any type of prize support provided for tournaments as well. I realize that this is probably a much more difficult prospect for a miniature game (I have a lot of experience working as a volunteer for various collectible card game companies), but it would be nice to know if there will be any type of support.

Angus Khan Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I second this question. I would certainly expect demos and tournaments to qualify, but are there any other event types that might count? I third it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Leagues will likely count. Painting contests I'm rather sure will count as events as well. (Wyrd being such a painterly friendly place and all) Painting classes will likely count. This is all up to Eric and Nathan of course but knowing how they think I am rather sure that these types of events are what they are looking for.

MEdwards Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 How long after we submit our application should we expect to hear whether we were accepted or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massaen Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I am in the same boat as an earlier poster... its a club scene here in West Aus! Plenty of people interested though - expect my application when the next starter box shows up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Ok, lets see if I can cover all the questions: Painting contests, classes, leagues, demos, tournaments all count as events. We are working on prize support, it is not finalized yet, but we are certainly looking into the options and fully intend to have something in place before too long. Right now we are giving people a little time to get the initial batch of applications in, as well as working to get our back end set up, but expect to hear something next week regarding any application sent in this week. We are debating what to provide in terms of online recognition in the forums to henchmen, another thing that has not been finalized, but expect something! Appreciate all the interest!!

Zee Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Cool! Definitely looking forward to doing something along these lines, unless I can sucker someone else into it in our area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoAx Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Glad to see things are finally coming together. Can't wait to see the results...... *insert evil laugh here* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavic Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Will there be generic flyers available to print off so that we can slather them all over the walls of our local gaming stores for events? Also, any chance that Henchmen will be provided generic business cards (i.e. Wyrd or Malifaux logo with website address) to hand out? These would be most beneficial for demos of course, as a Henchman could provide their contact information on the back so that they can answer any questions about purchases, rules, etc post demo for new players.

MVM Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I tried to fill out the application- but adobe wouldn't let me type into it. Will retyping the questions and answering them in an e-mail suffice? MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I tried to fill out the application- but adobe wouldn't let me type into it. Will retyping the questions and answering them in an e-mail suffice? MM I can't speak directly for Eric but I can tell you that his answer will be yes absolutely. Just answer all the questions in a text based form (I.E. say yes or no for the check boxes and the like) and send it in. You will be good to go!

Manicmac Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Am I impatient? I have heard nothing from either my application nor inquiry about it. Demo's have begun and players are forming leagues. . .but i would like a title:top: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightgaunt98c Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I wasn't able to attach the required pics to the form, is there a way to do that that I am missing, or do I need to email them separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I wasn't able to attach the required pics to the form, is there a way to do that that I am missing, or do I need to email them separately? I believe the application says to attach the pictures to the e-mail as opposed to the application itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicmac Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I did that. Still Nothing back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
