No offense James but... malifaux is a very new game. and they have done a very good job of listening to the community and when people express concerns about a model, they do a good job of fixing the problem.. Nino use to be far worst....
My first miniature game I ever played was 40k, Infact i played it from 2nd edition to 5th, and i know for a fact that GW was balance issues depending on who writes the codex... ;P
Is nino a pain in the butt, YES... but every faction has models that are a a pain... I dont think i've ssen a lilith player play a game with out a mature yet.. Leveticus with out rusty alice, ramos with out the steamborg, ect... most crews have an auto include... does that make them broken???
Im not saying that malifuax is perfect, just play a few more games before you rage quit, or jump on the broken bus
