Meh, is how I feel about Warmachine/Hordes with this long break in play. Ever since the MK2 field test for warmachine back last summer/fall I havnt played many games, nor bought anything from PP. to afraid i would get screwed again with a unit (Bloodgorgers) again. But every Wed I bring my lots to play whatever whoever wants to play. Lately its been a trek loading the car up- 2 full division bags (Cryx & Legion) and 2 motorpool bags (Trollbloods & Mailfaux).
I do agree Malifaux came at the perfect time when WM/H was in limbo due to field testing and the scirmish games are great, they dont take that long, the price is relativly cheap (compared to a full army), and the scultps are beautiful (PP has ok sculpts-units are ok). Although my main faction of choice is Cryx-I have untill May to get the faction book and new models released...plenty of time to catch up on my painting. And until hordes MK2 is official, more than likely I will be playing Mailfaux... even after then I will still be playing both, but I paint more than play.
