Dead Heat: Outcast Bounties

[Spiku]

Due to actions taken beyond my reasonable control I must retire my position. I wish you all the best of luck in your endeavours.

I shall stand true to my previous posted bounty rewards re:pictures, and these shall be provided at the conclusion of the Campaign.

[edonil]

...This almost has me reconsidering not buying that Hamelin or Leveticus crew...

[TedPro]

Oooh, I think I am probably going to sign on as an Outcast, yo.

How does this work?

[Spiku]

On Friday details of the World Campaign format will be released. Everyone who contributes in any way as an Outcast will report to them; if statistics are not public, I will ask that you advise me of any games played as Outcast, and I shall keep a record in this post of everyone who registers =3


Simply let me know in this thread that you are fighting for the Outcasts, and tell me how your games go. Successfully Attacking or Defending any locations I list will make you eligible for art.

I understand the Outcasts, not everyone Comes Cheap.

[Cornelious1424]

Is that Lady Piglet?

[Spiku]

Green Justice (http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?25441-Drawing-Green-Justice), I think this thread was the first one I ever made here?

[Ozz]

If i get my gremlin stuff (and vicks stuff from various places, currently lacking the Ronin, and got some ten thunders on the way) i may consider joining the outcasts for this :D

[Spiku]

Hope to see you on board; I've never objected to proxies, and I doubt your friends will.

[NinjaBreadMen]

My Outcasts will be representing! Not exactly sure what's required of them yet, but anything they can do to help out; they will.

[magicpockets]

I may be able to provide a Gremlin War Cock...

I must have missed that limited edition run.... :)

[Spiku]

magicpockets, as someone who has drawn much attention for his use of several Outcast masters, to whom always draws a crowd, I would register my support for your leading the Outcast Campaign.

Be it positive or negative support, it is my opinion that you certainly gain the most publicity. Though my bounties may well conflict with any over-arcing plan, I consider you to be one of the biggest voices, hated or loved.

[Dumb Luck]

I have a big voice!

[Spiku]

If you claim leadership, I am happily to have a Gremlin v Gremlin fight over it >=3

[Dumb Luck]

*squints*

Game on.

[CunningStunt]

I vote for Dom.

Cant have Adam getting too big for his boots. He's only a minion. Dom's a captain.

[Dumb Luck]

And there's no chance of me getting too big for anything.

[Mergoth]

Guild: Any locations other than Downtown (2); it is too dangerous to risk.

Ha! Leave that to us Ressers! Hurhurhur.

[Spiku]

I am sure that a certain man in rocket boots will be helping a lot of your endeavours in any regard, Mr Resser!

[alok]

I'll try my best whith my Viktorias!!!!

[Riktor]

Count my Leveticus In!! Lets kill them ol'

[Spiku]

Updates; my bounties and attacks that contribute toward rewards are included.

Feel free to recommend other one off bounties

[marshimartian]

Based on intelligence reports that I may or may not have...

I think we should only try to attack one sector and focus the rest of our resources on defending our existing 3. Especially Little Kingdom, trust me, it's more valuable than you know (but that's just my two Soulstones...)

[Spiku]

Your lack of faith in my understanding of what resource is traded through the Katanaka trading district, is disturbing. Next you will be suggesting that my Gremlin forces can't make use of the ammunition held in the Guild Enclave Downtown, or the Freikorp's Headquarters improved surveillance and cryptographic transmition equipment.

I have a plan of action and will stick to any agreed bounties. The attack locations are cited. I assure you, the Guild will regret their poor choice in target. While they turn on the very humans they brought to Malifaux and paid their services, they shall only cause the Freikorps to betray their movements to the true enemies of the Guild.

In turning on their own people, the Guild have cried a death knell as they prove they are too scared of the enemies that surround them, and must turn on fellow humans.

In one week, it shall be revealed, and a surprise is in store for both the Guild, and yourselves.

[F3ARMonger]

Spiku, will you give a few sample lists for defending v. attacking? Or suggestions at least?

[Spiku]

The format for the campaign is as follows:
Declare factions
Flip cards; highest card picks if they are attacker or defender.
Attacker chooses a location to attack.

If you are confident you can beat an opponent then feel free to defend; it will give us more points to protection. Against Guild for week 1, if you feel you can defeat them, then Defend. If you think it could swing either way, attack them.

Given that these are normal games of Malifaux, there is no list best for defending or attacking; the strategies and schemes will dictate it.

What troops do you have at your command, and I shall assist.

[puppetsoul]

As the Green Machine starts its march towards its objectives I can only imagine the look of terror in the eyes of our enemys as the first Squeels of war are heard off in the distance like the sound of thunder as the storm grows closer.

Just because there are clouds, doesn't mean it's a storm :Smug_Puppet2: Guild will regret sending the Friekorps and their stock of gas masks away...

[Boshea]

Only got Ressers to play against currently, so looks like Von Schill and the Viks will be storming the succubus cafe.

[Spiku]

As I understand, the Freikorps have prepared their own statement in response to Guild aggression.

[CrimsonWraith]

Oh, I'm definitely in.

[TedPro]

Got it. Avoid fights with Neverborn, but if there is a Neverborn fight, attack location 8. Vs. Arcanists, 5. Vs Resser, 13. Vs. Guild, 1 or 3. And defend 7, especially. Deadwalks and Downtown are off limits.

This'll be good. Leveticus would like to get his Salvage Yard back sometime soon, though. He left some artifacts in there that may wake up angry if unattended.

[ravenborne]

Throw me in with the Outcasts.

[knoerzer]

I will join the fight for the Outcasts! Just tell me what I need to attack and what to defend! I have all crews, but I am more of a Gremlin!

[NinjaBreadMen]

My two common opponents play Ressers and Arcanists, so I'll be plugging away at 5 and 13 just as best as I can ^^
I'll try and redirect Ophelia and the Viks should new orders come down, but until then; they have their orders :Combat_Puppet:

[Spiku]

New information uploaded; missives included. All recon bounty rewards will be 2 weeks delayed to ensure authenticity. See 1st post.

I have received personal orders from the top. All of my resources must be directed toward defending the Katanaka Trading District. I shall be making no further Attacks, personally, in Week 1.

All other Outcast members should direct their efforts to Attacking; only Defending when the upper hand is taken against them.

Neverborn: change their orders near daily, be aware of their misdirection.
Guild: march upon us; spread out and wait for orders in Week 2
Arcanists: are currently negotiating to post bounties. Maintain attacks as directed.
Ressers: Living dead? Pure rumours. Get me the Succubus Cafe.

[Evaine]

My Viks, Von Schill, & Hamelin are ready to fight for the Outcasts!

[Nephilim Nate]

Despite my name I shall remain loyal to the Vik's and the Outcasts.

Just finishing up a York league which looks to be topped by the Outcasts (1st & 2nd)so I will endeavour to uphold a stronghold.

[Dumb Luck]

Listened to that fancy Vox broadcast thing. Said them humans are issuing bounties for us Gremlins. Not cool.

[Spiku]

Yeah I hear Brains has tapped into that

[LupusFerreus]

I can't believe they called you vermin. Have they looked in the mirror lately?

[Dumb Luck]

This will not stand. Expect an audio rebuttle!

[Swan]

Hey Spiku, PM'd you with Ophelia's stunning attack and defeat of McMourning in sector 13. The Green wave rolls on

[mistercactus]

This will not stand. Expect an audio rebuttle!

If you make one, it'll go in. You have until Friday! :)

[Nephilim Nate]

Just come from successfully defending Little Kingdom from those Guild scum. More to come.

Dead Heat W/D/L
Attack 0/0/0
Defend 1/0/0

[Evaine]

Pleased to report that my Viks successfully attacked the Guild's New Construction Zone last night.

[Spiku]

If anyone does not have a local Henchman, and needs me to report victories for them, please PM me or mention in your posts.

[Swan]

Ophelia stopped Perdita in her quest to take the Slums. Another Outcast victory - Go Green or go home.

[keldor81]

My Viks and VonSchill came to the defense of the howling slums against Pandora but succumbed to the madness. In the end we ran out of soulstones in a epic game of initiative so I truly apologize. I gotta go chase some chickens, eat lightening, and crap thunder.

[greenstuff_gav]

as a gremlin player i'd love to represent the outcasts.. shame noone plays 'round here :(
so, inspired by Spiku's fantastic illustrations, i'm supporting in my own way!
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/ophelia01.jpg

c'mon yoo gremlin bruvvas!

[NinjaBreadMen]

c'mon yoo gremlin bruvvas!

As any self respecting Gremlin player will know, there's only one response to this awesome sculpt:

Ooh! A Girl!

Really good job! You've got the blowing-a-kiss look just right ^^ Any plans for the other masters copies?

[Mysterioso]

That is a nice sculpt.

I decided to finally jump in and get some Malifaux minis. What better way to do it than to immediately jump into a summer event? lol

Viks and crew should be arriving Friday. Assemble over the weekend, maybe get in a weak attempt at painting and then off to the LGS on Tuesday! It's on!!

[Nephilim Nate]

Viks and crew should be arriving Friday.

You'll enjoy the Vik's, I got them as a secondary crew and now can't stop playing them, because of that thinking of getting some more Outcast crews.

One thing for sure make sure you get some Ronin.

[NinjaBreadMen]

Yay, score one for the Outcasts! The big bad Doctor Mcmourning came a swingin' at me in the Howling Slums but the Viks showed him how a real melee fight goes ^^
Quick question though: On my signiature I added my scores ( 1/0/0 ) which I guess is Wins/Losses/Draws... but should it be Wins/Draws/Losses? Maybe it's some form of binary code I'm not clued in about :Confused_Puppet:

[Spiku]

It is entirely your choice how you want them laid out if you wish to share your games; W/L/D is the normal format, I just happen to have used W/D/L because I like to make it look like a sliding scale from win to loss =D

All Outcast players should ensure that they let their local Henchman, or me, know the results of their games for this week by tonight at the latest so they can be reported!

[rancor709]

Outcast are putting the hurt on locally. But its early

[Spiku]

I have to admit I was surprised just how many Outcast players have turned out for this! I mean everyone knows that the Gremlins are always up for fighting anything and each other, but Viktorias and Von Schill must have been very angry to have had the Guild turn on them!

I did not expect to see the twins fighting so readily; nor to hear that Von Schill has been leading his Freikorps in battle, instead of selling out to the Ressers!

[Tavis2k]

I've just joined the forum, we don't have local henchman yet (his application is in) so I was hoping Spiku could record my viktories for the outcasts until our henchman is approved.

So far I've only gotten in one game for the dead heat campaign, with the Viktorias and Von Schill successfully defending the howling slums (sector 12) from the evil Neverborn lead by lillith

Greenstuff Gav- Great Scuplt, please post pics when you get her painted.

We may be mercenaries but we still have our agenda's. I think there is a common goal to disrupt the Guild in all there dealings, after all we often make money from killing and that's much easier in a lawless society than under the martial law of the Guild would impose if they could.

Then on a personal note I'm more than happy to take a few mindless zombies down and stop those who make them.

[Spiku]

Clearly what caused it was the outrage at the Guild issuing orders this week to mobalise against the mercenaries in the first place. The should have been clearing out the monsters at the gate.

And I mean, a little Gremlin looting never hurt anyone, right?

[Nephilim Nate]

And as Beck said, us Mercenaries just need to 'get real paid'

We only hurt people that someone else really doesn't like, clearly if you have a bounty on your head then you deserve what you get, at least a little bit.

[keldor81]

With the updates are we sticking with the same objectives or changing it up? I got a game tonight and want to know.

[Spiku]

(Currently at tournament away from computer, phone update, more to follow)
Retaliating against the Guild. DOWNTOWN MUST FALL (2).
Focus Guild ober all targets

[LupusFerreus]

The Neverborn would like to help. Would you like us to attack 2 or leave you to it?

[Adanedhel]

Adanedhel reports for battle :)

I'll get my Ophelia next game, cause I just hate Perdita that much :p

[Spiku]

The support of my fellow Malifaux natives will always be appreciated; your decisive action against the guild weakening their front against us was an impressive exploitation of their foolishness

[Nephilim Nate]

Spiku - having a look, do you think we need to boost up the Howling Slums? I know it's not much but we still don't want to lose it.

Also noticed while our and the Neverborn focus is on the Guild the Resser and particularly the Arcanists are gather some strong footholds.

[Spiku]

With the recent shift in battle dynamics, there is little reason to defend; we should press advantages and accept the loss of territory in return for building strength in other districts.

Only a tiny contingent are aware of the orders the various leaders put forth it would seem

Minor update to orders now that I am once again back at my base. I can report that I lost no battles over the weekend. Our fight keeps me strong, for you I shall not falter.

[nilus]

I offer Grover's Pact given our mutual Neverborn, Arcanist, and Resurrectionists target.

6112

Note: This pact in no way assures that we will not attack you or you won't attack us or any other nonsense. Its just assures that we share a blue Muppet who wants to be hugged.

I thought Gremlins had a sense of humor? Aren't you guys the comic relief?

That's it. I official declare this the Summer of the Silly Ram. Guild Wackiness for all!

[NinjaBreadMen]

Oscar the Gremlin aye... Time to get to the converting table ^^

[TedPro]

Aren't you guys the comic relief?

I always thought that Kirai was the comic relief. It's funny because she's a grieving widow!

[Mister Tezla]

Score another victory for the Outcasts against the Guild! We're on step closer to Downtown after Som'er Teeth Jones sent the Ortega's running home to their Papa' (who proceeded to blow up!)

[Bruglyother]

I just finished doing a bit of an analysis on the data from last week. I thought people might be interested in a few key details.

Sector 6 Warehouse District (Quarantined) We are only 7 points behind the neverborn and ahead of everyone else
Sector 13 Southern Slums We are only 14 points behind the Ressers, and ahead of everyone else
Sectors 9 and 11, we are 30+ points behind the Ressers and ahead of everyone else.

These are our four best prospects for control change from what I see. I am obviously not in charge, but I thought it could be useful info.

Let the carnage ensue!

[Spiku]

Are you familiar with Settlers of Catan, Bruglyother?

[Bruglyother]

Are you familiar with Settlers of Catan, Bruglyother?


A bit. I played once. Why?

[greenstuff_gav]

managed to get a game in today :D
was Ophelia vs. Ramos (i know, should be fighting guild!) in Southern NCZ (2) ... a 8vp:2vp win for the gremlins :D

will do a proper writeup inna bit :)

[Spiku]

Congratulations; Not even constructs can stand up to Ophelia's onslaught!

I'll be updating my listings for tomorrow

[greenstuff_gav]

yay story with pictures! (http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/oph-ram-30-06-12.php)
now need to find me some 28mm chickens to replace my piglets with :)

[nilus]

Comes in waving a white flag

My local Outcast players were wondering what there orders were for week 3. They say they are tired of getting their but kicked fighting in Downtown :)

Just teasing. I forward all the official orders threads to my players who don't frequent these board and they are itching to know what to do next.

[Spiku]

I'll throw an update when I get home; it's a shame because this week's special event doesn't favour us at all so there's no "prime" option.

What was fun about organising everyone against you was that because of the way attacks are calculated, I knew it couldn't actually remove you (indeed, with 4 factions the average would be every 10 points gained by each faction is 20 to you). Though I was surprised to see you reclaim the location you had lost before~

[LupusFerreus]

I suspect the Outcasts will become more successful after the advertisement from the Freikorps in the latest Breachside Broadcast. That must have cost a lot moolah to pay for!

[Spiku]

Unfortunately I must retire from my position; I do not consider it appropriate at present due to unforeseen issues. I can certainly vouch for Dumb Luck and Magicpockets as men of character, though I name no successors.

The big hat is free to he who wishes to claim it

[Dumb Luck]

*hand starts moving toward The Big Hat*

Dude, I can smell them Wp buffs.

[Nephilim Nate]

So what's the plan? or at least some co-ordination.

I'm happy for whoever to take over, as long as you give the Vik's some stuff to slaughter. The Masamune will not be kept waiting they need blood and as Mercenaries we need to have targets.

[NinjaBreadMen]

Honestly! I'm without internet for two days and come back to this :P


*hand starts moving toward The Big Hat*

All praise the big hat! What's the plan of action sa'?

[Dumb Luck]

*puts on Big Hat*

Well, after extensive research I think we should go after areas where we currently hold a high amount of attacker points and capitalise on those. Attempt to break the deadlock, so to speak.

In light of this, target number one this week should be Sector 6 (Warehouse District) owned by them Neverborn. We're currently seven points behind them there. We could nab it from right under their nose.

Target Number Two. Minimalising the Resser foothold. They currently own four areas and are the only faction to do so. Thankfully, due to our earlier efforts pushing on the Southern Slums, we are the faction with the most points there apart from the native Ressers.

Guild areas seem pretty well defended unfortunately. Take a swipe at North NCZ if you wish. Ressers look like they could snatch the South Gate off the Arcanists. Direct attentions against the rogue wizards there.

Top targets: Warehouses and South Slums.

Sound good?

[LupusFerreus]

I think we should leave the Neverborn alone.

[NinjaBreadMen]

Top targets: Warehouses and South Slums.

Sound good?

To arms! The Big Hat's spoken!

[Mergoth]

Top targets: Warehouses and South Slums.

Sound good?

...no.

[Dumb Luck]

...no.

If you would prefer to settle things peacefully, then the Hat is willing to listen.

[Nephilim Nate]

*puts on Big Hat*

Top targets: Warehouses and South Slums.

Sound good?

Sounds reasonable to me, better that Mergoth's plan, ow wait I mean lack of plan.

These are the targets I would have picked plus still keeping and eye on defending what we've got.

I'll be at arms tonight, although trying some new models out I think I can keep the Resser scum at bay. The Freikorps are available now though.

[Nephilim Nate]

Last night saw the Freikorps called to arms.

With the Vik's put to one side Von Schill got the call to locate and kill Rasputina, he found her in the Southgate (14) and with both crews at 25SS out of the box he had little trouble shattering the ice.

Straight after they had to run back to defended the Outcast Territory, facing Molly this time it was somewhat more tricky and Von Schill had to use all his cunning to take the day. The loyal Librarian and a Freikorpsman followed orders to a tee running off into corners to deny points and take the game.

[Dumb Luck]

Most excellent news! Why, I can smell that Outcasts victory already!

[LupusFerreus]

I think that's all your pigs.

[alegionaire]

Sorry for my late entrance to the campaign. Despite my biases to Neverborn, I'll go where the most money is. Slums and warehouses it is.

[Dumb Luck]

The Viktorias and Somer made good inroads tonight into Resser areas, knocking back both Seamus and McMourning!

[Dumb Luck]

Excellent news everyone! It seems we have ripped the Warehouses straight from those Neverborn! Well done! We're now drawing with those Ressers on the CP front! Keep it up!

Expect new orders tomorrow!

Changed my mind. Orders now!

Guild: Still too tough of a nut to crack. Poke away at North NCZ if you have a chance. Not major worry.
Ressers: Twenty points behind the natives in the South Slums. Guild are ahead by a tad. Push through here! On a side note, niggle away at Deadwalks if you're feeling adventourous!
Arcanists: We have an uphill battle in both of their areas. If you must, try for attacks on the Industrial Zone.
Neverborn: Only place we seem to be making gains in is the Docks. Arcanists have a weighty amount of points here. Nicking this form both the Arcanists and Neverborn would cause the former to fail to gain a foothold and the latter to go down to one area.

So two top targets are South Slums and South Docks!

[Mysterioso]

Hey we took a sector didn't we? Howling Slums, Sector 12.

Still learning the game and still preparing my models. Hopefully I can participate and win a game or two.

EDIT Woops that may have been sector 6, not 12

[Dumb Luck]

EDIT Woops that may have been sector 6, not 12

Good to have you on board!

[Dumb Luck]

After some consultation, here's your targets for this week!

Guild: Going to be tough to lodge anything from them. Nibble away at Sector 3.
Ressers: Interesting stuff here. Apart from Howling Slums (where we are just behind them), the best lead we have is actually in their capital, Deadwalks City. So focus on getting the Slums back but equally, show the City some loving!
Arcanists: Another toughie. Aim for Sector 4.
Neverborn: We're making headway in Sector 15! Attack there!

Well?! Get on it!

[baneful]

Yes Boss!

Will give those corpse loving sickos some swine flu!

[gonzo917]

Last week i kept Seamus out of the Slums, this week i think i'll go to his neighborhood.

[Dumb Luck]

Sorry for the lack of orders. I was at a tourney this weekend!

Guild: Sector 3
Ressers: Hammer all of them. We'll be put into a good spot for future weeks.
Arcanists: Sector 4
Neverborn: Sector 15

[Nephilim Nate]

Picked up a win attacking Lady J in NCZ. aVix slightly less useful than the game we had, needs some practice.

[Dumb Luck]

Outcasts! Take control! Take control of your city!

We toke a knock but we are now in a spot to accquire top tactical positions!

Arcanists: Try to avoid. Both areas are pretty tough to crack.
Guild: Ah yes. The Guild. Only two spots behind in Sector 10. Make it happen!
Ressers: Best news here! We are only 12 spaces behind them in Deadwalks! Get your Von Schill's out fer this one!
Neverborn: Sector 15.

We started a Fire!

(Yeah, I'm still on a TDKR high. Whatever.)

[Dumb Luck]

Marching Orders!

Guild: Sector 3
Ressers: Sector 9
Arcanists: Sector 15
Neverborn: Sector 11

Go forth!!

[Nephilim Nate]

Marching Orders!

Guild: Sector 3
Ressers: Sector 9
Arcanists: Sector 15
Neverborn: Sector 11

Go forth!!

Enjoying the nice concise orders, not all I need to do is get a game in.

[Dumb Luck]

Who nailed Deadwalks?! This guy! Get in!!

[Dumb Luck]

MARCHING ORDERS!

Guild: Sector 1
Ressers: Sector 9
Neverborn: Sector 15
Arcanists: Sector 3

TOP TARGETS ARE GUILD AND RESSERS! GO GET 'EM!

[Dumb Luck]

Smashing job guys! We did it! Now to solidify our lead! Most sectors aren't easy to grab, so focus on defence!

Marching orders -

Guild: North NCZ
Arcanists: Southgate
Neverborn: South Docks
Ressers: South Slums

Slums as only 2 points in it! Focus efforts there!

[Dumb Luck]

Deadwalks and Warehouse District! Final push guys!!
