Hi Gang getting ready to do the final 3 month grind til adepticon and Malifaux fun. I'll be playing in the Team tourney as well as the 25 stone Story Encounters Tourney. Masters fell on two other events I wanted to play. But I am now prepping the crews for these two events and wanted to share the prep with community at large. I'll be posting in here from Time to update the status of the undead as I finish painting and assembling the last of the shambling horde and close in on final list prepartion. Plan to supplement with some Youtube fun as well.

This weeks Goals:

All Resser models assembled and primed!
At least 2 model fully painted
At least 1 game with a Resser Master

Wish me luck and I'll see you in Chicago!

Got Team Practice in yesterday. Using the Adepticon team tourney rules as of 1/5/2011. Each team mate runs a 25 stone list with there own soulstone cache and card deck. All Team models are considered friendly models for the encounter. Unique is shared between the teams so no two Nino's but rarity is also shared. So both could have a set of twins, but both couldnt' have 2 sets of twins, or one have 2 and the other one as it breaks the rarity. List is fixed for the tournament

McMourning paired with Viks and Vonschill
vs
Nicodem with Seamus

Shared Supply Wagon

Nicodem/Seamus Schemes-Breakthrough and assassinate on the viks

McMourning/Viks Schemes-Holdout and bodyguard McMourning

Net Result 8-0 for the Mad Hatter and the Gentleman Necromancer. We need more practice as we were no where near the two hour time limit for a round. It was a very good learning game and we discussed strategy with our opponents who are also in the team tourney.

How many turns did you get through?

When we ran a tune up team tournament last month we seen most games only going 3-4 turns. We have had discussions with the Henchmen organizing the tourney at Adepticon about extending it to 2.5 hours.

Because the team tourney is going to be running into one of the masters tournament in the evening, I think 2.5 hours is about the most he could extend it.

At 2.5 hours games should go 4-5 turns with a chance at the full 6 if the two teams were moving along.

It does take practice with your partner so as to minimize the discussion time on your tactics/decisions between activations.

You should come down to RIW one of these Tuesdays! A little extra-practice never hurt! Also I could use another Rezbian to play against :P

[rancor709]

i'll have to make it over To RIW for some Malifaux goodness. We got thru 5 turns but that was 2.5hrs. My biggest concern with our double list is the amount of activations we each have. My doubles partner and I are working on getting our time down together as well as the tactics.

Yeah I should have news on the time extension soon.

Most people I surveyed were okay with adding time, a few were not though, so I am working on a compromise

[rancor709]

Thanks Nilus looking forward to it.

[rancor709]

Picked up the drowned and few other bops for the ressers. Really liking some of the 25 stone lists i'm coming up with to specialise at strategy should have some practice games to report later this week.
