Welcome to Dead Heat, the first ever official worldwide Malifaux campaign! This campaign will run from June 15th to August 26th 2012, and the winning faction will receive an alternate sculpt of their henchman model(s).

The carnage is being reported on by the Breachside Broadcasting Company, and in-character radio updates of campaign happenings can be found at: Breachside.coda.net every Sunday.

Here are the rules and a sheet to log your games to give to your local henchman. Download them and get started!

For updated map and sector points see this thread (http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?32323-Campaign-Map-and-Sector-Points).

6/22/12 Campaign Updated
From now on, when the Attacker wins they will score 2 sector points and when the Defender wins they will score 1 sector point. The fighting is starting to get fierce!

Also, there is a special strategy, Thirst, which you can use while fighting over sector 2. See the attachment below for more details.

Quick question - is there a typo in the Resurrectionist sector points in the Campaign Map thread (http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?32323-Campaign-Map-and-Sector-Points)? It shows them as having 50 sector points in the Southgate, which is an Arcanist territory.
Or is this a response to how underpowered Rezzers are meant to be *grin*:Hiding_Puppet:

Cheers

This is going to be great! How nice of Wyrd to provide this opportunity for a legendary Guild victory in this, the Year of the Ram! Go :rams!

Had a hard time finding this thread.

Shouldn't there be a news post on the front page of wyrd-games.net? and malifaux.com?

Quick question on the Deadwalks City special rule:

It says search for a card with a printed Crow. Do you:

A) Search from the top down and take the first one that comes up

or

B) Look at the entire deck and pick the card they want to take

Thanks

All it takes is an application and you can be one

I'm in the same boat, Sunabe- I will have to become a Henchman to participate. The next closest one I think is at least 3 hours away if not further.

See if Justin would let you send reports to an out of area henchman via E-mail or PM. If there is no henchman in your area, I imagine Justin would let you report to an out of area Henchman rather than exclude you.

Yeah, that's fine. If there are any henchman willing to take reports via email, that's completely fine with me.

I am willing if people want. Chances are I'm not the only one. If people want to report to me, my e-mail is gavral@hotmail.com

Correct.

All league games must be consensual.

Already promoting the game locally, may as well finally get around to that henchman app.

Running London tournaments between clubs; this is exactly the sort of event I love for getting some social gaming between different areas. May make efforts for a slow-grow league to go alongside too (brawls could be fun with this format)

Can't wait to play, just need to find out if some of the closer henchmen will accept E-mails. We tried for a henchman locally and were told there were too many in our area. Hopefully one of the Cincinnati fellas will accept e-mails.

I don't mind taking reports by email either: wookieegunner@highlandcitadel.com.

I would like to encourage everyone who can to talk with their clubs and arrange for tournaments or cross-club events. While I know I am lucky to be in London where there are a billion different clubs; this is an amazing opportunity to build community and get lots of games in!


Every game counts! Maybe you could arrange to play on Skype even. I know I'll be doing store events, and visiting universities to do games with their Wargames Societies.

Look for new or interesting opportunities to play new players or meet new people and spread the word about Malifaux; everyone you recruit to your side is another potential point in a victory, or someone to fail for your enemy ;D

Ophelia is the most deserving of a sculpt as she is the Henchman fielded as a Leader more than any other.

Perhaps in your neck of the woods, down hear I see Lucius a hell of a lot more (stupid Austringer spam). Besides her sculpt is already very nice.

In my neck of the woods Molly is the most played Henchman as a Leader; in tournaments I have attended in this country and Holland I found Ophelia to represent most as a Leader
