I was browsing the GW section on Wayland games earlier, but I can't really afford what I want from there, so I moved out into the other sections and came across Malifaux
What I know is interesting to me, but that's basically, you have a handful of minis forming a gang, and you use cards to do stuff....so yeah, I have a lot to learn
BUT!
I wanna get into this over xmas, so what would I need to get started? the rulebook? (And if I get the version 2 book Rising Power or something do I still need the other one?) and a deck of Fate Cards per player? And then there's the minis! What's a decent starting gang cost? Do I just buy a box with a Master(?) and some minions(?)
I'm not sure which faction to go for, and since I'll be playing with family I'm gonna need two gangs....I was thinking of buying one or two boxes from each faction so I can try a little of everything...but I don't really know how any play...so any help would be most appreciated
Also! Where can I get the rules in the UK (preferably before xmas) as Wayland is out of stock, Arcane minis is out of stock...Maelstrom has them, but I hear bad things about them from warseer
Anyways...sorry this was such a long post!
