That Zineda model is pretty big, probably too big for Shikome; I thought about using it for Nekhima when I first saw it...

Whether a game is "good" is obviously subjective, but some things which many players seem to like: - Low model count- you can have a good game with 3-5 models per player. - Low entry cost- boxed sets MSRP $27-$37, most contain 20-25 soulstones worth of figures, about 5 models. - Complex enough to be interesting without being too complicated to play. - Card mechanic- not unique to Malifaux, but I think the implemetation is good. Adds a resouce management and a statistical calculation element which is engaging rather than tedious (see previous point). It takes two decks to play; I find not having to look up the suit equivalents to be well worth the $14.50 for two Wyrd decks, and the art is pretty good. The rulebook is more than a "nice to have", as there are no quickstart rules in the starter boxes. The rulebook has had some ammendments, as is common for games getting started. You are highly encouraged to also refer to the following: FAQ & Errata: http://www.wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10264 Extra Bonus Errata: http://www.wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10309 For me, learning from someone else is far easier than trying to learn by reading the rules. AntiZombie's suggestion to find a henchman is good (if there is one in your area). There's also an opponent finder thread elsewhere on the forum: http://www.wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6986&page=last And there's a demo video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=malifaux+demo&aq=0 AntiZombie is also right about some boxed sets being more playable than others. There are plenty of reflections on this also elsewhere on the boards, but my personal picks for "best to start out with" are Cult of December, Redchappel Gang, and Death Marshals. Choice of paint is like choice of any other artistic medium: what people like for themselves varies widely. The best way to find what you like is to try different things and see what you prefer. A large majority of wargaming minis are painted with acrylic paint, which is easy to work with. There are some product lines which have been developed with metal and plastic miniatures specifically in mind (Reaper Master Series, Reaper Pro, Vallejo Game Color, Vallejo Model Color, and Citadel are some popular examples) but they are by no means the only alternatives. Some hobbyists like art or craft acrylics (which tend to be more economical).

Thread topic says 3/30 (tuesday), text says 3/20 (saturday); which did you mean?

Not stacking comes from the new Poison description (errata, pg. 7). When a model is affected by Poison (#), it ends up with either a) the number of Poison counters it had before the effect or (#) Poison counters, whichever is higher. Of course, if you stab a (poison-free) model with Pins before it activates, it will suffer Poison damage this turn, while the Conduit will not Poison it until the Closing Phase.

Clipping 1/8"-1/4" out of the center of the tab will allow you to bend the legs together just a bit and the remainder of the tab will keep the model plenty stable once you glue it into the slot.
