Vicarious Competition

Today’s episode will go over a bit of list construction. Let’s talk about what buildings you should be bringing to your tournament and what makes some choices more attractive than others.

There was a really good discussion on social media today about what MonPoc

would look like with scenarios, or alternate win conditions. To me it feels

like MonPoc is extremely far off from needing scenarios to keep the game

interesting. Scenarios are a way to enhance stale gameplay, and MonPoc is

as fresh as they come ;)

Komkor 001 on release was rightfully dubbed and “Apartment Building with

Legs”. This Monster falls well short of what you want to see in a

competitive environment. I really like the look of Zerkalo Bloc models so I

wanted to challenge myself to see if I can build a list for Komkor 001 I’m

happy with. Zerkalo fans shouldn’t worry too much either way since Zavod

075 and Voyaka 099 are both really strong choices!

Treating each other with respect is extremely important during your games

and in general. I wanted to finish my thoughts from the previous episode to

make sure I got through what I needed to say. If both you and your opponent

aren’t having fun, you’re not winning. (OK you can still win but you get

the point..)

Sportsmanship is extremely important no matter what game you’re playing,

and MonPoc isn’t any different. Playing to win, or “try harding” is not a

free license to be a jerk in the competitive setting. I would even argue

the opposite in that you should be extra courteous to your opponent when

bringing a brutal top-tier list. We’re all here to have fun, so here’s some

of my experience from playing at a competitive level over the years

Whether you paint your own models or support local artists, it’s always

great to see painted models across the table. I always try to keep myself

motivated by only including models in my lists once I’ve finished painting

them to try and cash in on my excitement for new releases. Here’s a little

rambling and inspiration for the hobbyists out there.

Ares Mothership has been my favorite Monster from the beginning. Here’s a

deep dive analysis on what makes her so great.

Today I wanted to talk about the Martian Menace faction and what makes them

stand out from the rest of the Destroyers!

Welcome back! Episode 3 talks about both the Protectors and Destroyers

starter boxes. We break down the product and talk a little bit about how to

start your collection with models that will see the most play.

Welcome back! Episode 2 talks about the gameplay mechanics in MonPoc that

give it the foundation to be more than a casual “beer and pretzels game”. I

briefly explore the areas of tactical depth that make this game so engaging

to play even at the highest level.
