Thank you for all of your suggestions. Maybe I will have to try out doing different basing styles but using a few elements and colors to tie them to each other. I plan on doing all of the arcanist masters. I could try out Rasputina and Marcus as the same forest type of basing only with Tina having snow on her bases. I want a mechanical/clockwork/steampunk/metal basing for Ramos but If I have some organic bits to go with it then it might go well. Collette I want to have more cobblestone but If I have some vines or moss on it and maybe a few metal details and accessories then it could tie together. Getting my mercs to mesh would be a bit more difficult as I want a desert theme but I'm sure I could figure it out. Once I get some paint on my models and some basing done then I will try and post pics and see what you guys think.

I finally have gotten around to actually playing Malifaux after having a few of the models for months and months. The problem I am running into right now is my basing. I want to have a unified basing theme within my faction but I think it would look a bit boring if every model I had from every master had the same forest type basing I am going for with Rasputina and Marcus at the moment. Even within arcanists I think that both Ramos and Collette would look weird with a forest theme not to mention that I wouldn't want my mercenaries having the same type of basing in case I decided to start them as a legitimate faction. I'm just thinking it might look weird to have some forest based models with clockwork based models with desert based models in the instance that I would be mixing the different beasts and minions from the different masters. How do you guys do your basing? Do you have a unified theme? Or do you mix it up dependent on the master you are playing? If you do mix it up is it aesthetically pleasing, or does it look as chaotic and unpleasant as I imagine it would look?

Oh another quick question. How many spiders would I need in an average game? I have been reading the forums and it seems that Ramos summons new spiders to the field. I am thinking of getting a second group when I order my Rasputina stuff so that I can have a demo force to teach people the game. I'm just curious about how many I will need so that I can order them right off the bat. Also does the Hog whisperer for Outcasts do something similar in creating more pigs? I'm considering getting either the gremlins or Ramos' steampunk stuff to play against my Rasputina.

Well thats awesome to hear. I really like Ramos and his stuff too so this should be sweet. I will probably order my stuff early next month and give the game a try with some friends

Hi all. I found this game a couple of months ago and have finally decided to start it in the not too distant future. I have been wanting to take a break from 40k, Fantasy, Hordes and Warmachine and do something just for fun and skirmish style. I have been playing Infinity a lot lately and having a blast with skirmish stuff and I'm hoping that this game will give a similar amount of enjoyment. I was mainly curious about one thing. I have no idea about the game other than the models are all awesome and its card based. What models mainly interests me are the wintery arcanists like Rasputinas starter and the other snowy stuff. I noticed that there seem to be sub factions within a faction what with the arcanists having the jungle guys, the steampunk stuff and the winter stuff. Are these sub factions usable with each other? Like could I use mainly Rasputina with her winter models but also a steamborg? I was thinking of grabbing in my first order the book, deck, Rasputinas pack, Hoarcat pride, Wendigo, December acolyte. Would this be a good start? are there other models that you would recommend I should get? Thanks in advance.
