That's what we all thought when er started this game :thumb:
But all kidding aside, the best thing is choosing a faction/master you like on looks, and have a good time painting the crew. Every crew is good to play, but you may need to get a few additional models to expand.
I also like the look of Shamus and his Belles and I played them at a demo. They are great, but I opted for a different master because I didn't want to play more zombies at the time.
But then, when you start reading the rules of the other miniatures, then you go: Ooooh, this is cool, Oooh, this will play nice, Oooooooh, that could be a great combo. And before you know it, you will have an additional crew and models.
