TMI: The Elite Take Down the Elite

Week two of the Malifaux league has come and gone, and it is still going strong. Read on to see what I did this last Saturday.

OTT: Steampunk Dorothy Returns!

I started back into Dorothy with a vengeance, and she is nearly complete. I only have a few details to paint(flowers and feathers mainly) and she will be complete. Then I will have to figure out a way to match my Viks cobblestone, but still give it a bit of yellow brick road feel. I also think I may need to lighten the front of the jacket a bit. The dress seems fine, but the lighter gun and even darker dress in front is kinda drowning the purple out. The back seems fine, but I will probably lighten that as well. Either way, I am waiting until the flowers are done to see which way they push the whole ensemble.

And some Steampunk Crimsonwraith, as promised, if anyone is interested.

TMI: Some table topping

The league started on Saturday. I managed to get a game in versus Patrick's Nicodem crew. I used Tara, just because she rocks so hard. We had Stake a Claim and I took revealed Line in the Sand and Power Ritual, he took hidden Line in the Sand and Power Ritual. I took a fairly heavy beating this game, losing most of my models. I had a Marshal, Nothing, 2 Voids, Karina, and Bishop. He took Izamu, couple Canines, Sebastian, and Mortimer. He summoned a Construct, but that's basically it. I put Tara to far forward, leaving her in Izamu's charge range(should have brought the hodgepodge), and I sacrificed the Death Marshal to both slow him down and drop a scheme upon death. It worked, and I could have recovered, however, I had decided to charge Izamu to bury him, but failed and got Red Joker Riposted and dead. Ouch. I then moved in the Nothing Beast, who is basically always sacrificial, but was supposed to be up forward much earlier, but I screwed up. As such, he came up late, tied Izamu up a sec, then pasted. I brought Bishop in, though I think I should have used him to head for the back field scheming. He did a fair job whacking on Izamu, but eventually, he died as well. I had a final Void Wretch who moved into Patrick's Zone and dropped a Claim, tying Patrick, keeping it at no points, after I got one on turn two, until turn five when he was able to drop a third, netting one point from him. The wretch moved back towards the center line, dropping a scheme for Line in the Sand, giving me a point for being revealed. We both managed to get two points for Power Ritual, having got our own two corners. With him getting a point on five, and me a point on two, Stake a Claim was a draw. He wasn't able to get that fourth marker along the center line, which meant he scored nothing to my one for Line. A close game, 4-3 to me.

The league started off about where I thought it would, with five players, plus myself. I had thought one or two of the other guys may have come out of the woodwork, but wasn't surprised when they didn't.

There is still space if anybody reading this would like to join, the more the merrier. It isn't a wins league, so you don't need to worry about beating Troy, just come get some games in, and I guarantee you will earn points.

TMI: The Return of Leveticus

In a triumphant show of will power, I managed to get in a few games with Leveticus. I got some things wrong and some things right.

OTT: Got a problem with steam, punk?

What the hooey? Where is Dorothy? Well, Dorothy took a back seat this week, as my sister is having a costume party on Saturday and I had five days notice. So, since Sunday, I have been working feverishly on a steampunk out fit. Above is the gun, I will post my full get up later in the week, likely Friday or Saturday. And then I will get back to Dorothy.

OTT: Sheer Insanity

My first attempt at sheer stockings, and I think it turned out fairly well. She also has green eyes, another first for me(colored, not just green). And to top off the crazy train, she has a very small spade on her right chest. Turning into loads of fun, and maybe a little OCD, but I'm into it, so...

TMI: Back to the table

Its been a while, but I finally got in some games. How funny that is, not long ago, I was lucky to play a game every six months, now a couple of weeks is brutal torture. Hell, sometimes I have issues going from Saturday to Saturday. I need my fix, man!
