  1. Excellent! I'm all for competitive actually meaning interaction and moving around the board is interaction! This might be what gets me playing more!
  2. I've got two possibilities for ya. Sorry pictures aren't there but totally worth a look. https://bombshellminis.com/10009-tetsu-ko/ https://bombshellminis.com/10015-wu-ling-shu/ Tetsu-ko is a good bet, I own both so if you want them side by side with a GW Marine or something I could make it happen.
  3. Even Grots have better shadowfields than the Dark Eldar... FIFY
  4. He is my favorite! Still have my 2nd Ed little guy kicking around. Pinned to mount on gaz's shoulder. Pretty excited makari is coming back. Yes before he went into hiding he had a 2+ invulnerable save.
  5. Well done! Yeah thinning with medium helps keep it bright and the primer matters.
  6. I agree with dark trainer, I have both vinyl and neoprene. But my vinyl mat is only 3x3 never considered replacing my front line gaming 6x4 mats.
  7. The Malifaux community loves Mats by Mars and they are good. The vinyl feels just fine the roll up easier and are lighter to transport than neoprene. Plenty tough as well. I will caution that I've never rolled dice on them and I doubt they muffle the dice clatter. Final point Mats by Mars does overlays which are super cool for games with pre measuring and hidden objectives like Malifaux. The overlays are optional as the mats seem basically printed on demand.
  8. Agreed we in the north have doubled our player base recently and encourage inquiries to play this wonderful new edition.
  9. Malifaux you say!? Sadly I have plans Saturday morning I might have some time in the afternoon. Feel free to plan whatever but if you end up with a gap in plans 2 ish to dinner (what 5) I'd totally give ya a game.
  10. I didn't my first time but the general idea is remember only three turns... And point a squig ridden by a grot at something and eat it. Rolling triples helps with this! Initiative is a wild ride you'll see.
  11. Not I, already buy too many things to conceivably play...
  12. https://images.app.goo.gl/GvVtJ4DzVoMHkQsq6
  13. I'd be interested in a set of the printed materials. Book, cards, tokens etc. I'm gonna buy my own box but I like having two copies of the materials for speed of learning and identical sets of cards (enforcer v enforcer anyone?)
  14. Regular cleaning helps keep the glue flowing... I've definitely done this pattern with thicker or old glue: dip in glue, touch model, dip in candle flame to eliminate glue then rinse repeat.
  15. I have yet to break one. I use a Zippo lighter to clean it as CA glue is very flammable, for long glueing sessions I light a candle. As for the glue itself I put a puddle in what ever handy piece of trash lid I have. Hope these tips help.
  16. Zombie horde trope is awesome for Necromunda. There is a disease already in the fluff that breaks out occasionally.
  17. All I can say is YES! and use contrast paints for the yellow. They will be up and running in no time.
  18. I'm not sure GW even knows what's in those boxes it's been so long 😇
  19. They already have their own detachment rules ... To fit with the spit balling I'd say assign actual force orgs to them and say that Lords of war occupy three slots each... This would solve other Lord of wars as well. You want a Lord of war HQ? You are spending CP, other slots you are just fine.
  20. When a more casual player agrees to ITC it is a different social contract... Gamers have never been good at clearly communicating with one another. Infested was totally right with the Goodwin principal thing. Edit: I think I'm actually gonna walk away now, feeling satisfied that if others read through this they will have a better understanding of ITC than what was spouted in ignorance.
  21. Which is why I'm trying to educate you so you can turn back the tide in your area my man. ITC is only a circuit the Frontline gaming guys added a few "house rules" and put together a generic tournament pack. Gamers are lazy and started referring to it as ITC. ITC is only a tournament circuit, report to them and get your players points, bigger turn out better points for the leader board. As a tournament organizer you can actually run whatever crazy style event you want as long as there is a ranking to the final standings submit it for points. That is actually ITC. Their house rules apply at their event and they made them available freely to others to use. It then took off cuz competition loves consistency. Once there was heavy consistency in tournaments, the general player pack started to see use in practice games, which lead to pickup games, which lead to this, in the Portland area anyway, casual gaming use of tournament rules. I love seeing casual gamers avoid using ITC norms as it allows those more competitive players know that it is either a game to dial back and just have fun or to find someone to actually sharpen their skills with. Those that abuse ITC norms would just abuse the book rules too but funny thing about the book rules is that they are harder to abuse due to the sheer variance of missions and scoring... Avoid getting tabled and it is really anybody's game.
  22. False! ITC is literally tourney, it stands for Independent Tournament Circuit. It is players wanting to practice so much that has bought it to the weekly what have you games. ITC should never be casual play, saying it is would be like playing Ard Boyz casually. Could it happen yes? Did it in those bygone days? Nope. This is down to the contract between players and that some players want to play ITC and some don't. Edit: and a third group not caring/just wanting a game. The ITC guys just ask more often and then it follows that ITC is played more often.
  23. Winning at all cost is just a level above fair play to me. The final cost of the win for some being that fair play. If you will play fair to the extent that it will lose you the game then by definition you will not play to win at all cost. Fair play being too much of a cost. Can you still be cut throat? Absolutely. A jerk to play with? Sure. But if you play a hardcore style to the rules then you aren't WAAC, will others try to disparage you by using WAAC to describe you? Sure but you ain't WAAC if you will take the loss graciously through fair, no matter how cut throat, play. Writing a killer list while not very sporting (depending on community), isn't necessarily WAAC. Shrugs I just know I played pretty competitively once upon a time ( don't anymore) and didn't like being lumped in with cheaters as WAAC cuz it is different. ITC should never equal WAAC are there WAAC there? Yes but there is WAAC everywhere!
  24. Well I'll have the full mercenary keyword and outcast versatile models with me and due to contrast paints they should be three color minimum! Already got Barbaros (alt), just ordered big Jake and prospectors that shipped earlier this week... Could build a third Ronin... I'm gonna take some time this weekend to plan some possible list v the schemes this weekend while organizing this stuff into my bag. Edit: one of these days I'm gonna have the crossroads seven ready to rock...
