Court of the Puppet King

January 24th, 2012

Malifaux is a dangerous place to live. When you aren’t huddled in your house worrying about zombies and monsters breaking in a dragging you away, you are outside, wondering when the next earthquake or volcanic eruption is going to drop a building on your head. It’s a rough place, where only the desperate would ever go, and only the strong can hope to survive.

And yet, despite all of these things, people bring their children with them through the breach…

The Court of the Puppet King league has begun, join us on Monday Nights and get involved!

Check out the details here.

New Range: Banelegions!

January 18th, 2012

Black Knight Games will be carrying this incredible new range, available for the first time in retail stores.  BaneLegions is a range of miniatures sculpted by some of the best sculptors in the business.  The range includes two different classes of miniatures: BaneLords and BaneBeasts.  BaneLords make great heroes for fantasy games, or just as fun figures to paint.  BaneBeasts are giant monsters, often substituting in perfectly into a Warhammer army, or other game system.  BaneLeagions have an incredible level of detail, and are made of resin.  The closes range that you can compare them to is Forge World, and in fact many of the sculptors that have done work for Forge World have also contributed to BaneLegions.  I myself already have several BaneLegions miniatures that I ordered from the UK before they were made available to stores, and I have found them to be of an extremely high quality.  There are many more miniatures in the range, but here are some examples of them:

BaneBeasts (Click to Enlarge)

 

BaneLords (Click to Enlarge)

  

 

We are about to place our initial order for BaneLegions, however since it is coming directly from the UK, and it is a new range we will be taking Pre-Orders on it for the next week.  Anybody that pre-orders by Monday, January 23rd will save 10% on the order.  After that we will continue to take pre-orders, however no discount will apply.  The entire range can be viewed on the BaneLegions website.  The prices on the website are in british pounds and are not accurate, here is our price lists including both what will be our regular prices, and what you can get them for this week!.

So Pre-Order now!  And when they arrive be sure to check out the range in all it’s glory!

Magic: Dark Ascension Release Schedule

December 29th, 2011

With Dark Ascension coming up at the end of January I just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know what we will be doing for this exciting release!

Pre-Releases
We will be running an unprecedented four pre-release events! How can we possibly fit this in? Well in addition to the two Saturday events, and the Sunday event, we will be running a Midnight Pre-Release event on the Friday Night, crossing over into Saturday! All four events are Sealed Deck tournaments where participants will get six booster packs, as well as land and a free limited edition promo-card.  They are $30 to enter, or $25 for Stronghold Members.  Here are the Pre-Release Event times:

Pre-Release #1: Fri, January 27th, 9:00pm-2:00am
Pre-Release #2: Saturday, January 28th, 10:00am-4:00pm
Pre-Release #3: Saturday, January 28th, 4:00pm-10:00pm
Pre-Release #4: Sunday, January 29th, 12:00pm-5:00pm

Also note that during the Friday Night Magic immediately before the 1st Pre-Release event, a Standard event running from 5:30pm-9:00pm, we will be giving away a free entry to any pre-release event of your choice to one RANDOM participant!

Launch Party
We will once again be running a Launch Party on the following week (we would love to run more, but as of right now Wizards only allows one, if you want them to change this as we do feel free to email them!).  Like the Pre-Releases the Launch Party will be a Sealed Deck tournament, with a different limited edition promo-card.  It too will be $30 to enter, or $25 for Stronghold Members.

Launch Party: Saturday, February 4th, 12:00pm-5:00pm

Like the Pre-Release we will be giving away a free pass to the Launch Party for one RANDOM participant in the preceding Friday Night Magic event, a Booster Draft on Friday, February 3rd at 5:30pm.

Game Day
We will have our Dark Ascension Game Day event at the end of February. The Game Day is the first major Standard event utilizing Dark Ascension. Players bring a legal standard deck and duke it out. Everyone gets one special edition promo card, and the top eight get a second foil promo card. The entry fee is $15, or $12 for Stronghold Members.

Dark Ascension Game Day: Saturday, February 25th, 12:00pm-5:00pm

As with the other release events we will give away one pass to the Game Day to a lucky Random participant of February 24th FNM event, a Standard format event at 5:30pm.

Knights of the Realm
We will be beginning a great new event type for Magic, called the Knights of the Realm, with these Dark Ascension release events. Knights of the Realm is a season of gaming, that rewards players for their participation and achievement in Black Knight Games Magic events, and it’s free! Check it out here.
