Thanks magicpockets.

Did more research after the post and noticed that Ramos also appears to have better cross support with Collette at least that was the trend I picked up. So guessing he might have the most longevity and I'm leaning towards him in my next order.

Well then, here we go.

Experienced wargamer but new to Malifaux, I am waiting on my rules and first mini orders to arrive at the LGS.

Meanwhile I thought I'd plan my next move. I have chosen the Arcanist faction initially, obviously, and the crew I have on order is Miss DuBois and her caste of homicidal understudies. I have ordered these ladies simply because I adore the models; but I am aware they are as much of a bitch to play as you would expect them to be if you say tried to buy them a drink on a Friday night at the local.

So I want something in the Arcanist faction a little more friendly and reliable for a beginner to the rules to grapple with while learning, and to hopefully also have a little success along the way.

Now I have read that Marcus is......... well solid at everything except winning reliably.

So do I stay with the aloof women theme and grab the cold hearted ice queen?

Or do I jump on board fellow M&SU member (not sure what that signifies till I read the fluff) Ramos and his anti-luddite-arachnophobe mob?

Is there another Arcanist Master I am blissfully unaware of (not unlikely I tend to be remarkably unaware if not as blissful as I'd want)? If not what is the advice on a simple solid master, probably between Rasputina and Ramos (as Marcus seems universally panned).

Also I have ordered Collette and her box so also have Cassandra, 2x Performers and Mannequins; a box of Doves (I think that is 3); and the Corphyees (Freddy Krueger does nightmare at Milan).... love it.

What else if anything should I look at for the Showgirls crew in the future in order to make them a hit on opening night. What is the recommended Chorus Line (trying to stay with our Burlesque theme)?

Thanks people hope the gaming is simply grand.
