Okay, thanks. That is a shame but nevermind. I had some rats and spare bases knocking about and have Ophelia and a few of the LaCroix clan, as a leader it says she can have gremlins, kin, pigs and vermin types in her crew so I presumed that might include rats. I'll just wait till payday and get some piggies!

Hello, I have just downloaded the outcast stat cards and have two stands of rats I wanted to use, they were just some old minis I had but noticed you could have them in Malifaux, and I thought they were outcast minis. Where can I find a stat card for them online?

I am thinking of building a Lacroix crew as my second gang.. I bought Francois and Rami just because I liked the figures and wanted a fun gang as well as my more serious Decemberists. Any advice?

So I turned up for my first game, I had the rules manual and thought I had picked up the basics.. the thing that worried me more was the number of things I had on the cards for my crew.. who can do what? and when? and what does that mean? I expected things would go badly because I wouldn't know how to boost one character with another or miss special powers. I had Rasputina, December Acolyte, 2 Silent ones and the Friekorps trapper. He had Lilith, 3 neverborn infants, Baby kade and the Teddy. We both had to get the treasure, my schemes were to hold a bit of terrain on his side and wipe out his Nephilim. He advanced and I stood my ground, trying to position the crew for magic use and that handy 16" sniper rifle. He pretty much got his treasure token straight off with a speedy nephilim and was away! My acolyte wounded Lilith and the sniper and Rasputin (supported by silent ones) knocked out 2 nepilim and the big bad Teddy. Lilith killed the Acolyte and Baby Kade got the trapper before being knocked out. Rasputin made it back with my sides treasure and Lilith withdrew. He won by 1 victory point, having got a point for keeping Lilith alive, but I was pretty pleased with doing as well as I did and that I had got used to the game in general. Need to practice more with that crew though. Good game!

Thanks everyone, I have ordered a couple of silent ones, after my intital spend-out and the rule book.. I will have to make do with that selection for a while. I get the impression this lot are mostly a 'shooty' crew, do people find that a problems? I know there are many games where close combat troops do better simple because they know they can use cover/rush in and then the game is theres.. you can't really stop most of them with a couple of rounds firing.. and Malifaux seems to be played in a fairly limitted area? Perhaps the ice golem will be a later purchase but for now I will make do with that. oh and I like the look of the Hoarcat pride.. are they any good?

I am poised on buying a Silent one then.. or two.. I guess they are sneaky hand to hand types? my play style would probably be to weaken an enemy at a distance then try to finish them off when there close. (I'm guessing a crew based on shooting has trouble on a small board/short ranges).

Hello, some of my friends have played Malifaux for a while but I resisted starting ANOTHER game system.. until now. I have decided to go for Arcanists, and particularly Decemberists. I like to knock things together so instead of buying the box set I have bought things individually, I have: Rasputina (obviously) 3 Ice Gamin (grunts) December Acolyte (bought mini ages ago, just liked it) Wendigo (before I knew what a totem was) Freikorps trapper (again, looks cool, a merc sniper?) Would this make a good crew? my rulebook has not arrived yet so I have bought everything based on a whim and if I like the figures or not.
