Title: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on February 07, 2013, 08:18:46 AM
Derek has ordered the kit! This is the year long league that I'm guessing is goin to introduce the Convergence of Cyriss. I'm excited for it. As with other leagues, it will be in 4 small chunks. I don't have tons of info, but when the kit comes in, I'll set a start date! Get excited and break out your paint brushes!

This will take place in Abington!

Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: Ian Mulligan on February 11, 2013, 03:32:45 PM
Probably mercenaries or pigs.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on February 11, 2013, 06:44:02 PM
This is great news! I'd love to see a great variety in our factions during the league. I heard some of those maniacs from the Broken Coast may be showing up....

Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: Ian Mulligan on February 11, 2013, 09:00:11 PM
Durgen and MacBain will be my go to guys this league. I don't think I could do pigs again so soon. I need, like, a few more years.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on February 11, 2013, 09:48:22 PM
I can't wait to buy those 2 hyperions in a month! Haha!

Post by: the_trooper on February 11, 2013, 11:22:37 PM
Swans are coming. Under our oath to Morrow, fully painted only.


(now I need to go paint Arlan Strangeways and fix Aiyanna and Holt)

Hmmm I should probably stick to play it painted 2013 with my khador but I have these nice I unpainted warp wolves that are asking to see the table.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on February 13, 2013, 08:41:23 AM
Tim, if you played Circle, that'd mean no repeat factions so far. Wait, is Nick playing Circle? Hmm. I think he is.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: GossWeapon on February 13, 2013, 08:50:15 AM
Circle/Cygnar/Pirates, You could say Nick is the overlapping King!
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on February 13, 2013, 10:48:39 AM
He sure is! I'll be playing something that I've never played before... poorly.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: Demonster on February 15, 2013, 09:47:18 AM
Skorne since I'm almost done painting them. Heh, said the same thing back in December....
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on February 15, 2013, 11:35:31 AM
The kit is in! I saw it last night! We start in the 28th! Be theeeerrreeeee!

Post by: Ed on February 15, 2013, 07:15:07 PM
Oh boy time to start painting
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: GossWeapon on February 15, 2013, 08:05:41 PM
How do I even use two colossals?  Fuck if I know!
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on February 16, 2013, 03:18:26 PM
Ed, there are painting achievements, so you get points if you paint during the league.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: MightyBooshy on February 16, 2013, 04:12:46 PM
I just started playing, and even though I live much closer to the Plainville store, I'm going to try and make it to this!  Also I'll be playing Menoth.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: Ed on February 16, 2013, 05:14:41 PM
Oh shot ok is it ok if I painted one model of a squad of 13 and if the army is primed
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on February 17, 2013, 09:53:35 AM
Yeah and when you finish you get points towards your league total. I don't have the sheets but th painting points kinda resemble journeyman painting points.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: Rofel on February 19, 2013, 02:22:18 PM
Circle is mostly primed and ready to go! Still missing a Gorax and Shifting Stone Unit #2 for 50 points but I'll manage.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: the_trooper on February 20, 2013, 03:30:41 PM
So, does PP ever consider the results of leagues like this in terms of how they advance the fluff?
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: Ian Mulligan on February 20, 2013, 03:34:03 PM
Pretty sure.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: Rofel on February 20, 2013, 08:46:24 PM
Hmmm. I wanna play Circle...but I could play Irusk the whole time and maybe help make him even more awesome in the story? Tough call...
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: Ed on February 24, 2013, 01:13:17 PM

Sean, is there an entry fee?
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: King of the Elves on February 28, 2013, 05:33:40 PM
Once I get 35 points (I'm at 22 now) I'll be all in with Khador. May try to get another Jack this week, all depends if I go out with friends. Thanks brah!
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!

Sean, are you going to be around tonight or anytime this weekend?
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on March 02, 2013, 08:02:05 PM
The entry is $10. I can only make it down on Thursdays.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: Demonster on March 03, 2013, 12:08:02 AM
What's the limit to how many games we can have per week?
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: King of the Elves on March 03, 2013, 01:03:03 AM
I'll try and make it down this thursday, if not, should I just pay whoever is behind the counter? Also are there any important things to write down on the score sheet? This is my first WM league so sorry if I have to ask a lot of questions.

There isn't one. You just get diminishing returns.

Just your name, faction and score.

Yeah, pay the man behind the counter. Also, be sure to tell him what it's for so they don't think it's a tip.

Post by: Demonster on March 03, 2013, 11:50:45 AM
It's nothing complicated - rules are printed out including all the scenarios you need. Everyone already had a go at the scenarios on Thursday so everyone will be willing to give you a hand.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on March 04, 2013, 12:27:28 PM
There is a game limit in the packet of 5 per week. Also, you shouldn't be playing the same person multiple times in a row :)

That was the nicest RTFM I have ever seen.

Something that's a little unclear to me is how to submit results so we can affect the big map.
Title: Re: Machinations: Umbra league!
Post by: jfoodmaster on March 04, 2013, 03:06:52 PM
Ha! I was logging all the games on thursday to affect the big map. Cygnar was doing well, last I checked.
