So I just had a game, a few days ago, against Guild (Lady Justice), and thank god one of my scheme was assassinate (I used Izamu to lure Lady Justice out, and get rid of her with our favorite scalpel Leader). And after reading even more about the new models, I am starting to get a deeper understanding of your feedbacks. Apart from a very few models (Oiran :)), most are situational, and fit a specific role (add more punch, scheme runners, support, condition remover etc...) and because of the very nature of the game (strategy, scheme, and so much variety in every encounter), there are no typical list. The meta usually tends to favor new releases, and therefore, even if lots of models that people are listing are only available at preorder, or not listed on some website at all, they appear on lots of crew. It is kind of funny, because I am looking at spending about a 100$ to do a little upgrade (got enough time to assemble and paint everything, play a bit and in a couple of months, do the same), and it seems that I could as easily start a new faction, or get a 10T box but play it as another faction. Almost like there are no benefits from already having some 10T, that is probably why people recommend it as a second factions, because it could get expensive quickly So I guess, my shopping list, will more depend on my next master more than everything else! Thanks again for helping me getting closer to illumination

Yeah I know it is just semantic, but really I was wandering while getting up to speed, on what 10T players were doing nowadays. I am not judgmental on Wyrd strategy, but usually I like when new models affect the metagame by offering different options and playstyle, rather then filling the same role. Because that tends to end up with one or more models being put aside, because of the heavy competition. Ultimately, that is what having obsolete models is all about. I don't mind getting new models (as if I ever needed an excuse :p), and I will probably transition slowly to all those new characters for sure. I use to like the Oiran, and my good old armor, but I can't say that a freakin' flying model is not something I want I am also from Montreal, and there are no crazy hardcore scene over here, but still a lot of crew owner, so I don't need to upgrade everything now (I just want it!). So next thing to buy are: Yan-lo's box Yasunori Komainu Shadowy Emissary Seems good? Thanks for your help, and the conversation, I really appreciate!

Thanks a lot guys, So I was right asuming that newest models are the way to go, and my old ones are becoming obsolete. I can understand why Wyrd games is doing that, but still feel a bit disappointed :/ So on the bright side, I have an excuse to do some shopping! Yasunori is on top of my list. I was looking at Yan Lo's box for a long time, seems like a good choice right?

Hey there brothers, I fell in love with Malifaux's models a few years back and jumped in a couple of years ago getting a few second hand (wave 1) miniatures, and then bought some Ten Thunders based on recommendations I found here! So thanks a lot, I had only a few games, but it was a blast, and now that I am back, I realize something and I need your help! I bought a TT box with Mizaki, katakana snipers, oirans, Yamaziko, and the wonderful Izamu! I had a blast with those models, and now that I am back, I joticed that appart from a very few occasions, the only unit from that list that people are still using is katakana snipers. So did all those units are not that competitive anymore? I saw a lot of recommendations for wave 3/4 units, so which one should I get in priority? I was thinking of another box and 3-4 units? thanks a lot for your support, that community is awesome, and I am looking forward to getting your advices!
