Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome! This is the official announcement of the ICGC Journeyman League for Warmachine and Hordes. This league is geared toward new and veteran players who want to start a new faction within the two game systems above. The official rules are attached and can also be found at:
privateerpress.com/organized-play/leagues/journeyman-league-rules
As you can see it's geared for a 6 week period of starting out your force with a Battlebox or Battlebox equivalent and expanding it each week to end with a full 35 point force for either system. Remember Warmachine and Hordes can be played against each other.
The League will start on the 29th of December, with our first official game day being the 5th of January. Hopefully this will give everyone time to apply some paint to their models.
On the 29th we will start off with a "Build and Play" day. The meeting will take place at building 658 (our usual) from 1100 to
?. This will allow all of us to gather and get the basic information that is required through the league. This will also allow you to register for the League, and show me your unpainted models. Remember the purpose of the league is to start something new and go from there. On the 29th, models must be unpainted, but may be assembled or prepared (mold lines removed and pinned where necessary) for assembly and painting.
Late entrants will be allowed this year, but must schedule a physical meeting with me before the meeting on the 5th of January, and have that battlebox ready to play by the 5th. After the 5th new applicants will be accepted on a case by case basis until the beginning of "week" 3
Alternate faction lists include:
Protectorate of Menoth (2 Player Battlebox Alternative)
High Exemplar Kreoss, Vanquisher, Crusader, Repenter
Retribution of Scyrah
Kaelyssa the Night’s Whisper, Manticore, Griffon, Chimera
Mercenaries (Four Star Syndicate Option 1)
Magnus the Traitor, Mangler, Renegade, Talon
Mercenaries (Four Star Syndicate Option 2, Searforge Commission, Highborn Covenant Option 1)
Gorten Grundback. Ghordson Driller, Grundback Gunners x3
Mercenaries (Four Star Syndicate Option 3, Highborn Covenant Option 2, Talion Charter)
Captain Bartolo Montador, Mariner, Freebooter, Buccaneer
Circle of Orboros (2 Player Battlebox Alternative)
Kaya the Wildborne, Feral Warpwolf, Argus, Winter Argus
Minions (Thornfall Alliance)
Lord Carver, War Hog, Gun Boar x2
Minions (Blindwater Congregation)
Bloody Barnabas, Blackhide Wrastler, Ironback Spitter
Those are the official lists for the factions that do not have Battleboxes released for them (Except Protectorate/Circle).
I realize that we do not have a Local Gaming Store, so getting the models we want in a timely manner will be a problem. This is why I'm announcing the League now. I have spoken with Will Hungerford, the Privateer Press Quartermaster, and he's approved us for another extended league for 2013. You may want to:
1. Plan your purchases and armies ahead of time, using the next few weeks to get the things you want (hello Xmas lists) so it will all be ready to go when January rolls around.
2. We will be extending the one week periods to two week periods (except the first week). That will give us the one week time frame that items take to get here and still have time to put them together and paint for the next game meetings. Basically one week will be a prep week, the next will be the play week giving everyone a fair chance to get the stuff they want in. Now if you have your stuff all ready, and want to get a game in during prep week that's fine by me.
Schedule will be:
Week 1-Battle Box
Dec 29 2012-Jan 5 2013
"Week" 2-15 points
Jan 6-Jan 19
"Week" 3-25 points
Jan 20-Feb 2
"Week" 4-25 points
Feb 3-Feb 16
"Week" 5-35 points
Feb 17-Mar 2
"Week" 6-35 points
Mar 3-Mar 17
Steam Roller 35 Pt. Tournament
March 30th 2013
3. If you want to start planning your purchases now and buy what you need to be on the safe side, then by all means do so, but the start time on the league will not be postponed for any reason.
If you will be taking part in this League, please post here, on the FB page, MSG, or txt me with your prefered Faction and name you will be going by.
Take time to review the attached Journeyman League 2012 rules and keep in mind these may change for 2013, should PP release an updated version of the rules. Please feel free to ask any questions you have via any media. Don't miss this opportunity for your Journeyman Patches!
