Brawl in the Hall, Round 2

Looking to kick off the summer with an uppercut to the chin, we are bringing back the Brawl In the Hall Malifaux Tournament for a second year, with hopes to turn it into a recurring event. We will be playing 50ss, Gaining Grounds. I am planning on three rounds, but that will depend on turnout. Entry fee will be $10, and we will start at 11:00, so please be there early. I can accept preregistration on any Saturday leading up to the event.

Brawl in the Hall - Malifaux Tournament

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Please direct your attention to the hall out side Hobby Town Fort Collins.
Behold as combatants limber up for a three round, fifty soulstone tournament.
The bell will ring at 10:30 Saturday morning, and carnage shall ensue.

Calling to all those of less gentlemanly or lady like demeanor. Care to step into my ring and face off for prizes and fun? Entry is a mere $5. Three rounds of grueling Gaining Grounds style Malifaux await you. Step up, prove you have what it takes, or slink away with your tail between your legs. You decide.

Round 1: Stake a Claim with Standard Deployment
Round 2: Turf War with Close Deployment
Round 3: Reconnoiter with Flank Deployment

BE THERE!

And the Inquisitor Lays Down the Hammer

Well, I was late to the show on Saturday, but I still managed to get in a game of Malifaux and some after hours Deathwatch and Dark Heresy. Other systems making appearances included Warhammer Fantasy, Bolt Action, and Warhammer 40K. Basically, the scene is hopping. So, where were you?

See you down there next weekend!

Malifaux League comes to a close.

Another league comes to close. And even with a random draw, Troy still some how manages to come out on top. Seriously, I almost redrew. Second went to Shaffer.
Final Achievement points:
Patrick - 33
Troy - 29
Nabors - 16
Shaffer - 13

Next up on the league list? Maybe Infinity. Likely end of February or early March.

Hope to see many of you there!

Malifaux League Running Strong

The Malifaux League is almost half way done, though it has been extended until November 30th, due to scheduling conflicts with the Pathfinder Society on the 23rd. Patrick looks to be the leader on achievement point, though everyone is fairly close. As it is a drawing, just entering gets you a ticket. We currently have five players, but I will take more through next week.

Other gaming hasn't been shut down for the league by any means. Last week also saw players throwing down 40K and some after hours Deathwatch/Dark Heresy.

Things are hoping, be sure to drop on by!

Confessions of a Brushlicker: Casting Malifaux Cult of December Ice Gamins in Acrylic PART ONE

Hello everyone!

Dark Brotherhood, your favorite paint chip taste tester here again, this time to show you how to cast ice creatures in clear acrylic to get a special effect like so:

Pretty cool, huh?  Yeah I was pleased.  Before we get started, I should make a big block of ALLCAPS text in red.
THIS ARTICLE, AND THE STUFF MADE IN IT, OR THE STUFF THAT THIS ARTICLE INSPIRES PEOPLE TO MAKE, SHOULD NOT AND IS NOT INTENDED TO INFRINGE ON THE COPYRIGHTS OR IP OF WRYD GAMES OR ANY OTHER MODEL MAKER, ESPECIALLY GAMES WORKSHOP.  THIS ARTICLE INTENDS TO SHOW HOW YOU CAN PROXY YOUR OWN MODELS IN CLEAR ACRYLIC TO MAKE THEM LOOK COOL, BUT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE YOUR ORIGINAL MODELS ON HAND TO SHOW A TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER. 
With that out of the way, here's what you'll need:

Genghiscon throw down thrown down!

This last weekend was Genghiscon and the KoGT was privileged enough to run both the 40K and Malifaux events. The Malifaux run down can be found here. As for the 40K event, it went smashing. Stay tuned to find out more.

Road to Genghiscon: Finish in sight.

Less than two days until the con. A mere 62 hours until the 40K tournament begins. Are you excited? I know I am. Packets are done. Prizes are sorted. Just need to finish up the award plaques and a couple surprises for the Malifaux event, then its off to Auroa

Demo Days!

Starting January 12, 2013, the Knights of the Gaming Table will be hosting monthly demo days. These will be a good opportunity for new players and those kind of interested to get the low down and try out many of the games we all play and love on Saturdays. Games like Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Fantasy, Malifaux, Hordes and Warmachine, and Infinity. All games will be small, and can take as little or as long as you like.

The event will start around 2PM and run till around 5PM, in the hall in front of Hobby Town USA. Drop on by, and give one of these great games a try.

Knights' Chronicles

Another weekend has flown by. Pretty easy weekend down in the hole, everyone seemed pretty layed back. Might have had something to do with many nursing hangovers from the night before. Several doing it from home, lazy bastards. Still, the games were definitely rolling. Both Malifaux and 40K saw several games each. There was also a board game that made a surprise apperance.

Nate brought along his Blood Bowl. An interesting game, and despite Nate's and mine good natured hate filled rivalry, I do believe I will be playing it again. I am already working on a Khemri team, with ideas rolling around for a club Norse Team, created from the kindly donation of a dirty thief. Could a custom Pitch be in the works? Maybe!

Knights' Chronicles

Pretty exciting weekend down in the hole. Even with all the new space, we ran out of room! We had everything from Infinity to Fantasy to 40K to Malifaux. People painting, people playing, people discussing tactics and eating food stuffs.


It was way more fun than this would make it appear. He isjust concentrating.


Who are all these people? Well, those are the Pathfinder Society peeps, who got the boot from Gryphon's due to some over booking. Glad to have 'em. Rowdy bunch, too.

Painting and Malifaux festivities didn't wrap up until 3:30 in the AM. Talk about rocking it all night long. I am definitely looking forward to next week. I plan to throw down some Malifaux(shocker) and even some Fantasy(say what?) before heading deep into the 41st Millennium for some Deathwatch/Dark Heresy. Hope to see you all there!

Knights' Chronicles

Another week done and gone, but wait, what could this be? Are those painted Genestealers from a Space Hulk set? Could it be it? It must! There are two people who have unpainted Space Hulk sets, and the other one brought his in to paint.

Knights' Chronicles

Could we get any more games going? Why, yes we can, but just barely. I am afraid that the general club MO is starting to die a slow death. No longer do we have one game with 20 people standing around it, now we have 4 or 5 games going at once, with only a few players standing around watching. Could this be the legacy of skirmish? Could games like Infinity and Malifaux actually make more people play? Nah, its something else, because 40K is still alive and strong, and Fantasy is in there somewhere, too.

Knights' Chronicles

Pretty quiet weekend. You know your club is growing when a "quiet weekend" involves a mere 11 players playing games.
The now usual Malifaux was going down, as well as some Infinite. The year of the Skirmish may truly be in swing, because I didn't see any 40K or Fantasy games going on, but there was still plenty of talk.
Look forward to seeing everyone next weekend!

Knights' Chronicles

The league has begun!
The Malifaux League kicked off this weekend. We have 10 players already signed up. The pit was hopping with Malifaux. 4 simultaneous games to start it with a bang. But don't think 4 Malifaux tables shut everything else down. There was still plenty of 40k, Fantasy, and even Infinity to be had. Most games ended kinda early(by Hobby Town standards), leaving just a few people finishing up Malifaux and just general discussion.
I do think DB put it best when he said "2012 is looking to be the year of the skirmish."(Or something like that) Smaller games are definitely on the rise. Who knows, I may even introduce some Operation Kill Zone.

Knights' Chronicles

Holy crap, games! I haven't seen that many people playing games at the same time in a while. It was a fight for space. Fantasy, 40K, Malifaux, even Infinite. Barely room to move. At max I believe we had 5 or 6 games and 1 painting table going simultaneously. It was a riot. Tons of new players, some returning infrequent ones, it was great. We even had some players shoot a video battle report!

I hope everyone had a great time. We are starting our Malifaux league next week, but don't feel like they won't be room for everyone, cause its a small game, and everyone will still be bringing their other stuff. I know I am still looking to get some games. Also, it the first Saturday, so we will be having after hours painting.

Malifaux- First Thoughts

The more I play Malifaux, the more I like it. The depth of the system is awesome. It has synergies, movement, resource management, and those flat awesome moments when you do something(or have something done to you) that just makes a table top game. I haven't played long, and have only played one real game, though even that was against a brand new player, but I like it I really do.
