We are hard at work getting the next episode of BB ready and online. In the meantime – below is the strategy and pictures of the two crews that face off in the episode. What schemes do you think each crew picked? Are there models they should of included considering the pool? Does a post-nerf academic have a chance against the fastest gun in Malifaux?
Editor’s note: Ray Flynn, co-founder of Third Floor Wars gives us the keys to an enjoyable first tournament. Many casual players are scared of entering their first event. Ray gives some great tips to lessen first-event anxiety.

With Yokai, Thunder Brothers and Charm Warders, the five-stone slot is hyper-competitive in Ten Thunders. The Monk of High River has stiff competition, but with a solid (0) action, some great model/master synergies and a couple of key abilities, the monk has plenty of play.
The Monk of High River (especially with certain masters) should always be considered. He is both a solid anti-scheming model and a cheap aggression piece. Continue reading
Editor’s Note: We continue our “Ways to Lose Less” series with another great article from a top player. This week Duncan Bilz, the top player in the Great Lakes Conference (and the only reason anyone still plays Sonnia) shares 8 tips that can help you lose less.

Editor’s Note: Fresh from the podium of the 2018 Capital City Meltdown, Larry kicks off a new series at Third Floor Wars: Ways to Lose Less. I had a bet with Larry based on the number of games I’d lose at CCM. If I won the bet, Larry would write an article for us. If he won, I’d paint a model for him.

There is gold in this article. His insights on cheating and your control hand alone makes this a worthy read. Enjoy!! Continue reading
