UMS "Agram" is sponsored by our City's Association of Technical Culture and our tournaments are co-financed by our City's Office for Social Welfare and City's Office for Culture - so our tournaments are completely free of charge.

Oh, that's AWESOME news!!!

Fortunately, Ill be coming back to Europe week before then!

Still remember the 40k tournament on AAS! What a great experience

Is this the first time that the Arena would be featuring Malifaux?

[Csonti]

Do I understand the rules correctly: you can only select one master (and Henchman as part of the 50 SS crew)? So say if I'd play Outcasts and take Sommer, I can only field him or Ophelia during the whole event. Right?

[Demonn Agram]

that's right. One master only.

we decided to do it this way because of the last fight of the tournament where only the masters are involved. There might be a slight powercreep in so a player can take a relatively weak master (when on it's own but powerfull with various 35SS or 25SS combos) and play him the whole tournament but have in reserve another strong/buff master for only that last fight.

@guardian:

that's awesome. see you and Lady J. at AAS and yes it's the first time we organize an international Malifaux tournament (so far we've only had small, local ones..)

A lame attempt at a trash/spaghetti western type of poster to help promote the event:

oh, and you can start with the applications for the Malifaux tournament..

Great news!

our event has a new sponsor:

from the words of the man (James aka Lono) himself:

Infamy Miniatures is very pleased to sponsor the Black Queen Miniature Painting Competition - Masterclass category (on 7^th & 8^th July) and Malifaux tournament's Best Painted Crew award (on 14^th & 15^th July) .

I'm jealous I can't be there myself, but I really hope everyone has a great time and that the eventual winners enjoy painting the models.

If you would like to get your hands on some Infamy models check out our IndieGoGo campaign

[Gujozec]

That's great news indeed! One more reason to attend. I'll be sending my application shortly.

[Demonn Agram]

Dead Heat Campaign rules are now included in the rulespack (errata is included in this post).

Every game in this years tournament will be included in the Worldwide campaign.

Rules:

1. Pairs are to be randomly drawn by Swiss method. Priority will be to prevent same fraction games if possible.

2. Only sectors without special rules can be contested.

3. We will provide the acurate map on the tournament itself (but we all know that by then Von Schill will claim all the sectors for the Outcasts *grin*).

Hey, even more hobby-related competitions at the Malifaux tournament at Agram Arena Summer.

there is almost 3weeks until AAS2012 Malifaux tournament.. Just enough time to do some markers/counters.

1. Best Supply Wagon competition - it'll take place alongside the Best Painted Crew contest and will use the same mechanics as the BPC competition, with the exception that all can enter.

2. Best Counters/Markers competition - it'll take place alongside the Best Painted Crew contest and will use the same mechanics as the BPC competition, with the exception that all can enter.

Both competitions will have their prizes and certificates.

This weekend was the first part od the Agram Arena Summer 2012, an annual event my club organizes. We hosted a 40k tournament and a painting competition called Black Queen Miniature Competition.

The competition was divided into 6 categories judged by a pannel of judges. the categories were: Single miniature, Large / Mounted miniature, Unit / Squad, Open, Diorama, Masterclass. This year for the first time, due to the increase of Malifaux player in our community, there was another category judged by our pannel - Best of Wyrd.

Also, all the participants and visitors of the event could vote on one entry and the entry with the most votes would be crowned People's Choice.

So, enough rambling, here come the winners (and some other entries..)

Next weekend - first ever international Malifaux tournament in Croatia is taking place as a part of part 2 of Agram Arena Summer 2012. More pics to follow...

[Demonn Agram]

Two days to go until the first international Malifaux tournament in Croatia.

another shot of the prizes:

[Csonti]

I just would like to give a healthy thanks to our wonderful hosts for inviting us to this fantastic event. I attended several international events during the years in many different systems but by far the Croatian one was the best organized tournament. The little touches like the welcome package with accessories give the event a big boost.

I'm just sad about the lack of players from other countries. Zagreb looks an ideal place to meet with guys from at least Central and Eastern Europe. So fellow Malifaux players around those countries: consider participation next time, you won't regret it!

Again, thanks for the invitation and the hard work you invested in this Marko. I guess next year we will come in even greater numbers. So prepare for the Hungarian invasion.

[Pepti]

I would like to thank the invitation too. It was a very good competition, I enjoyed it. And I hope that next time I will see more gremlin players and less von Schills ;-)

Well, Kirai, Perdita and Pandora was enough for me as I was playing with Ophelia ;-)

[Gujozec]

'Twas a great tournament, I had lots of fun. I just wish there were more people from abroad; that's what I'm hoping for for next year.

[Guardian]

Awsome tournament!

Organization was top notch! Wellcome gift was "wow"! Games and oponents amazing!

I had a blast, and am looking forward for the next one!

I wish Agram Arena Summer would become a big international Malifaux event for central and eastern Europe! Zagreb has a good "strategic" location

Spread the word, and see you all next year!

'Till then, some Hungarian tournament maybe?? )

Cheers!

[Demonn Agram]

Thanks guys for the comments.

Finally I managed to gather all the Dead Heat scores that you guys reported during the tournament. Great job, we managed 29 Dead Heat games! No suprises here - Outcasts dominated..

Dead Heat Results:

Guild: 5 wins (4 away and 1 at home)

Arcanists: 3 wins (2 away and 1 at home)

Rezzers: 2 wins (0 away and 2 at home)

Neverborn: 1 win (1 away and 0 at home)

Ourcasts: 18wins (14 away and 4 at home)

[Viruk]

This kind of report makes me really want to go there next year, looks like you had a really great tournament.

[Demonn Agram]

Yes we did!

and you'd be more than welcome to come, especially with your Dead Justice crew! To see those ITIC entries in flesh would be awesome...

[Sephiroth]

This looks like a very nice event.

[Demonn Agram]

Thank you!

Next year, same time, bigger event (hopefully) and see you (all) there (also hopefully)
