I began miniature wargaming less than 2 years ago, with PP's Trollbloods. So, it goes without saying my motivation stems as much from attractive models as table-top performance. While the models attracted my gaze to Malifaux, after picking up and reading through the rulebook a few times, I'm now genuinely looking forward to swapping my dice for a deck of cards.
I was instantly attracted to Seamus, his appearance, theme, and starter box. I've been pulling someone's finger for a couple weeks too, and I think I'll be adding The Hanged and a Grave Spirit.
Other models I'm thematically interested in are Nurses, Dead Doxies, and Bete Noir. And the Avatar of Seamus seems like a no Brainer, I love the model, and he doesn't cost SS to include? So, I can just (if I meet the prerequisites) choose to bring him into a game any time I choose to? Any feedback or advice for a new player?
If you didn't catch my earlier reference, I have been reading the Pull My Finger Wiki. And although it appears excellently written and composed, I sometimes prefer authentic feedback since some of the terminology and game mechanics are still unfamiliar (I'm a n00b).
