Hi,
my name is Darko, and I live in Croatia. I am 36 years old, and still play with toys, as some members of my family like to point out.
I started playing AD&D long time ago, played a bit Magic the Gathering (till 3 rd edition), and all that time I was assembling and painting model kits (mostly WWII). Wargaming is not very popular here, so I was blisfully unaware of it.
I got in wargaming by chance. I got Space Wolf trilogy as birthday present, and I quite enjoyed book, so I googled WH40k and found lots of nice figures, which could actualy be played with. I googled more, and found out about Infinity and Malifaux. I was torn at what to start, and than GW did me a favour. Since Croatia is ROW, and there is no shops one can buy their products, I could only get them from their site, with highway robbery prices, I might add.
So I decided to go for Infinity for my SF fix, and Malifaux for my steampunk and, well, wyrd fix.
My Ortega and Lilith crew just arrived (with decks and Rule book), so I think me and my girlfriend will be (hopefully not) first people in Croatia playing Malifaux.
My only problem is I am quite a collector, and I like so meny crews, it really hurts.
Thats all from me for now, I think I ll have a few questions for people in factions forum, mostly which totems are recomended for my crews, as I don t understand their mechanics yet.
Oh, and puppet wars boardgame look so sweet.
