The Road to Adepticon is paved with Corpses Rancor709's tourney prep

[nilus]

Do silly stuff now. It's no use if you go to Adepticon burnt out and only looking forward to it being over

So you are saying I shouldn't beat myself up if I don't paint 4 minis a night. Maybe I would have more fun if I stopped procrastinating

The plan for goofing around taking molly for a spin. I havent used her near enough and am looking to just focus on having some fun playing molly. Might be with seamus mifht not be but the focus is just doing stuff. Plan is to finish painting this weekend and just be able 2 relax next week.

Prep is done been reviewing notes

Core concepts: summoning is a secondary support option it shouldnt be the focus.
Out activating an oponent can allow you to dicate the engagement.
speed is life the less aps required to get somewhere the stronger the piece.
Pick the best tool for the job.
Malifaux is all about vps, get yours as rapidly as possible.

Quick update got display board painted now just need to do highlighting and put on the grass.

Need to finish up painting a few models but i'm having trouble getting motivated for it.

I'm excited to be playing in Adepticon and very ready to actually get into the tournament environment and see what I can do. Win loss or draw I will have fun because fun is my goal. Again I hope to once I get back from adepticon write up and condense everything I've learned on ressers at the competitive level once I get back. Again it will just be one mans experience and thats all anyone can give you.

What I can tell you is play what you want, and the rest takes care of itself, that and remember all the tricks and subtle are not just for other factions.

Your best bet is to find the stunningly handsome person in the room(That will be me). I will then point out Joe to you.

Crew is all painted now. At least my available options.

If you want any tips with Molly let me know, as I have a psychological inability to not bring her in Seamus lists, and I've been playing her pretty steadily since about 2 months before she was released. If you want any of the little tricks I have found with her let me know. Shes definitely not Von Schill, and she feels in her current state more like a 7 SS cost model, but I can definitely give you the low down on any of the tricks I've noticed with her.

For example one thing I've noticed is that you should almost always universally bring a grave spirit with her. For one extra soul stone you gain a tough to target at ranged model that increases the survivability of Molly, or another key model in the crew. Additionally I've started seeing the Grave Spirit almost as an extra action for Molly. The Spirit very rarely will take actions other than a defensive stance, once it is linked to it's target, so I'll often use magical extension to channel cast Terrible Secret if the Spirit isn't within 3" of a better target, or once within 3" Channel cast The Shocking Truth As long as you can hit, the channel cast often lets you be able to cheat for dmg, which for a severe gives 3dmg and paralyze. Almost like having casting expert... sort of. Used in that way it goes along way to letting Molly feel a little more useful. I find it far more useful than using the Necrotic Machine, as the Machine is a good deal easier to kill, and it is far slower than the spirit, as the spirt essentially gets free moves from it's link.
