They sell all the cards individually. Check the store and there is an option. As for scratch builds I have no idea. Since I am not much for tournaments and most if not all my gaming is just with my buddies then scratch builds are no problem. In fact if it is a good scratch build it just increases your nerd cred.

My wife is taking the day off work so I will be starting the demos at 2pm right after the Bazaar. Good times.

I was wondering how important the 30mm base was for the counters. ie. Blood, scrap and corpse. I ask because I don't have many of those bases. But I do have many extra 25mm that could be impressed into service. It would seem that the size doesn't matter since they just sit on the table and don't effect movement or anything much at all.

The Tower Game Center 860 Duluth Highway Suite 210 Lawrenceville GA 30043 678-442-1787 The Tower is hosting it's bi-annual All Weekend Gaming and I will be running some Malifaux Demos up at the shop starting around 5pm on the 27th. Just basic starter box demos. I will have the Lilith, Pandora and Ortega box sets available to demo with. All cards and reference sheets will be provide as well as two fate decks. Participants will have to purchase the $5 badge for All Weekend Gaming, but there is a lot going on besides the Demos check the Towers homepage for more information on events that will be held. I highly recommend the Bizarre Bazaar, sell some of your old things gathering dust, pick up some new things on the cheap. http://www.thetowergames.com/

I love the look of the Wyrd terrain, but lets be serious I have some painting of figures to do. So aside from the look, is there any disadvantage to playing on generic terrain? (Read: The ruined gothic buildings that dominate the gamestores terrain pile.) I ask because I can build terrain but would rather paint the minis. Or is some of the paper terrain that is available quick and easy to make? Basically terrain suggestions.

Since I am going to be buying Lillith's box as my one of my first purchases and don't want to pay shipping twice I want to buy a little extra for bigger games. So what one or two figures would you purchase to add to the Lillith crew and why?

Since I want to buy some minis and don't want to pay shipping twice to buy a few more minis to add I wanted to buy some extra things to fill out the crew. If you were buying the Ortega crew, what one or two other miniatures would you buy and why?

Having never played the game but being very interested in getting and pushing this game to my friends and others at the game shop, are there any lopsided battles? I ask because the Guild seems to have specialized units to kill one of the other factions. My example would be the Ortega Gunslingers and any one of the neverborn boxs. I like the look of the gunslingers so I want them to be one of my box set purchases. Then I also like the look of the Neverborn. But I don't want to buy them if the gunslingers are going to eat them alive. I like the idea of themed sets to play against each other, but want them to be ballanced. I am OK with the idea that one of the factions is harder to play and responds well to good gameplay. In fact I think I want a game that you win or lose basd more on game play than army selection. 40K seems to be more about army selection and list building than gameplay. Gameplay is certainly part of it, but it is not the biggest part in determining victory. For example my buddy plays demons and I play space marines. Even if he makes errors in play his army is just hands down designed from the ground up to stomp my army. So even with game play errors and me playing as falwlessly as I can, all I can get is a draw. I consider that a victory for me but playing to tie just isn't fun. So before I put in my order and wait patiently for a restock, are there any ballance issues I should be warry of for my first pruchase. I want my two armies to be cool looking, Naturally, but I also want wach game to be a nailbiter on who will win. Not look across the table and feel/ know the beating is coming. Another thread does say that for demos you should stack the game in the new players favor, but I thought it would be better to have two well balanced armies and have them choose the one they think is the coolest. Let's face it we all have different ideas about which army is the most aestheticly pleasing. I think we all agree that they all have their merits but there is always that one army that captures the imagination and makes you say, YES!!!

It's times like these I wish I still lived in Tampa. Not sure I could afford to game any more if I still lived in Tampa, but I miss gaming with Dr. Mercury. I could always count on him to play the new cool games. Now I have to play 40K if I want to play miniature game. SIGH.
