Gencon 2012 - Malifaux Events

[nilus]

Hello everyone,

I've been asked by the folks at Wyrd to help run the Malifaux tournament events at Gencon this year. Planning is still under way but we thought getting a post up on the forums with the information we have now would help people decide what events they would like to register for. This thread will be updated as more info becomes available.

---------------------------
Rules for all Malifaux tournaments

All tournaments will be run using Gaining Grounds
(http://www.wyrd-games.net/Upload/Mal...Ground2011.pdf)
Following all the rules for an Official Malifaux event. These includes:


Painting Rules
In an Official Tournament, a player is required to have fully-painted and based models
without any visible bare metal or primer. The paint job should look like the painter made
an effort to stay within the lines and enhance the appearance of the model with their
painting. Bases should not be bare.

No Proxies will be allowed
Converted models must be at least 67% made of Wyrd manufactured pieces and/or original sculpture.
All schemes are consider unique in a tournament and may only be used once
All Malifaux tournament events at Gencon 2012 will be using the Domination scoring format
We ask that all participants show up to events 15 to 30 minutes ahead of time to register.

Just out of curiousity will the Story Encounters be available after GenCon for those of us that might like to use them in Local events?

I think that can be arranged

Arrrrgh so much time could be spent playing Malifaux. Must resist. However I will most definitely be doing at least two I feel.

So the registration email said : "No custom decks to be used"

Que?

[Leggo]

You need to use an official Wyrd deck. No idea if Puppet wars ones are allowed or not, but I'll be bringing over a few fresh decks anyway. There was a thread somewhere, were someone had created a different looking deck. That for example wouldn't be allowed.

Here is a thread with such a deck

[Guy in Suit]

Lame.

[Omenbringer]

Puppet Wars Deck are official Wyrd Decks for tournaments and such.

I would bet they are talking about the ones mentioned in the other thread (which are very nice by the wat).

[Requirement]

Everything just fixed faction? No fixed lists? Fixed masters?

[monkeysmiles]

Will it be required that the miniatures bases not be bare, I personally choose not to add anything to the base, does this mean I can't participate?
