Starting in June we will have our annual Journeyman League. This is an extended format League that will take place over a 6 month period, due to our widespread locations and no store availability. We will gather for our first meeting on the 29th of June, and schedule out the next meeting at that gathering. The meeting place will be in Fukuyama City, at approximately 0900. Directions can be given, but if there is a large group of people willing to head up there, then we can car pool.
What is a Journeyman League (JL)?
Well it's a way for new players to begin in the game of Warmachine and Hordes at an easy rate, allowing for the basics of the game to be learned at smaller points levels, and with each month, increasing the points and options allowed to play the game. This format also allows for veteran players to begin a new faction, or Warcaster/Warlock and learn more about the game and possibly different playstyles.
How does it work?
Each month a JL player will play their chosen force at increasing points values given strict guidelines to follow. These can be easily read about here. Make sure that you read through the rules, and understand what is required of you.
What do I do?
It's easy. Each month you expand your force of models for the given faction that you have chosen to play for the league. It will go like this:
Month 1: Battle box/War Pack only
Month 2: 15 points
Month 3: 25 points
Month 4: 25 points
Month 5: 35 points
Month 6: 35 points
Now within that time, it is recommended, although not required, that you paint the models you will be using for JL. You can also paint other models for the same faction that you will be using as well.
Why am I doing this?
Physical rewards include patches for the JL. These patches will allow you to distinguish yourself as someone who has taken part in the Journeyman League and worked towards completing a new faction, or expanding upon an old faction that you have already.
How do I get the patches?
It's easy. Taking part in the JL earns you an automatic centerpiece patch, which can be expanded upon from there. There are two ways to earn the expansion patches. You can play games and paint models.
Winning a game: 3 pt
Losing a game: 2 pt
Painting points:
Warcasters, warlocks, warbeasts, warjacks, and solos: 3 pt for large base, 2 pts for medium base, 1 pt for small base
Battle Engines/Huge Based warlocks: 5 pt
Colossals and Gargantuans: 7 pt
Units of 2 models: 2 pt
units of 6 models: 3 pt
units of 7 or more models: 4 pt
units of only meduim based models: 1 additional pt
units of only large based models: 2 additional pt
Please see the JL rules for more detailed information.
As I said before, our first meeting will be on June 29th. Due to this, we will officially start the JL on the first of June. Feel free to begin painting at that time. Take or post up pictures of your unpainted or base coated model before you paint it. Posting here in this thread will do for proof or showing me the picture of the primed/built models when unvealing them at the meeting will do as well. Any models which have not been photographed as unpainted before presented as painted for the JL will not count as being painted for the JL. Please keep this in mind when starting new models.
Make sure you download and print out the JL score sheet as well. You will need it to keep track of your progress through the JL.
If you have any questions, please post them here and I will answer them. Good Luck!
