I left for more then just price; a tired rules system (at least to me), local players obsessed with the tournament scene, quantity of models needed to buy/paint to start a new army was always a daunting undertaking. Also, Im getting older and around here, older players seem to be into non-GW games. Im military and therefore move every few years so if I want to make friends among the local savages, I have to be into what the locals are playing. Here in texas its Dystopian Wars so I painted that first. Those same non-GW people may be open to Malifaux

Ha! But my addiction runs far too deep! So far this year I have built an entire Fleet for dystopian wars ($120), two gangs for malifaux ($85), and a few flames of war figures ($50) and I'm still not up to an average warhammer army price. ($300-ish by my reckoning) I plan on doing bushido next which should run under $50. I have increased my chances of finding a game with somebody who is over the age of 13 at the local store by quite a bit. AND I'm finally painting things that don't wear power armor! Maybe I'm unjustly disgruntled with GW but it feels like I just opened my eyes to this whole better gaming world that was hidden behind boxes of 60 dollar tanks

Thanks! Right now I have Rasputa-something ice lady set and the pandora set. I will buy another crew before I start and will take a look at those.

First off; thanks for taking the time for reading this. I recently decided to take a one year vacation from games workshop. One of the first games I turned to was Malifaux. Nobody else in my area is yet playing so I am going to be the first. I really like this game and want to dive right in but I have a few questions before start up some local malifaux fever; 1. What is the average game size and what would be a good demo game size? 2. How long do games take to complete. 3. Local stores have awful terrain. How important is urban terrain to this game. THANK YOU in advance to anybody answering this plea.
