Well maybe I'll drop the Wendigo and do some playtesting to determine which totem I like the best. Not really worried about having the "best" crew out there, I play Necrons in 40k so I don't mind. Rather only pick up one totem than a couple and only ever use one. Through removing the Wendigo would open room up for something else to get. Hoarcats I am borderline on, not that crazy over the models but mauling someone to death with kittens may be too funny to pass up. The "crazy cat lady" build I seen here and there is something I rather avoid at this time. I picked up two Acolytes since I figured their deployment rules would really mess up people seeing a team of them pop up something dangerous. Not sure how well that would run but I really like the models so trying to fit them in, plus I would only run both of them in bigger scraps.

Looking to take the plunge into Malifaux very soon and looking to start with the Cult of December. Now I don't have a rulebook yet so I am just going by what I hear and what I think looks cool so... Rasputina 3x Ice Gamins 1x Ice Golem 2x Acolytes 1x Cerberus 1x Wendigo I figure that this would give me plenty of options in smaller games and enough to do a bigger one. I noticed a lot of people use Essence of Power as a totem more but I don't care for the model so I went with the Wendigo for the time being. Also was thinking of swapping out the Cerberus for some stuff from the Outcasts, but I want to avoid using the Convict Gunner since it seems thats everyone answer it seems.... Any thoughts?

Thanks for quick response, answers just about all my quick questions. And that's like a perfect comparison picture since I used to play Orks in 40k. I do have a follow up question through, are the different factions fairly balanced or are there certain combinations that I should be on the look out for? My experience with warhammer has let me a little... concerned when it comes to play styles and "those" units.

I hope this is the right place to post this as this is part introduction and part questions. I'm going to be picking up the Malifaux rulebook soon and once my local miniature gaming group starts to understand the fluff then Masters will be chosen. Until then, I have a few stupid questions about the game. 1> My only miniature game experience is Warhammer 40k & a few games of Warhammer fantasy (attempted to get into Necromunda but no one else was supporting it). Will the rules for Malifaux be easy to understand and get into? 2> Will my terrain for 40k (which most is from Games Workshop) be alright in scale for Malifaux models and games? 3> How big of a game does the average box set provide? And how many models average do 35 soulstone games provide? (I noticed that 35ss games seem to be popular) 4> How long does an average game take for games of the sizes mentioned in question 3? Thanks ahead of time for the help (and sorry if I messed up somewhere ). And if anyone can provide a picture of a Malifaux model aside of a 40k model I would give extra credit
