Some guys at my local gaming club tend to try out a lot of games. I am/was a big Warhammer player, and never really understood why they played games like Helldorado and some pirate miniature game. Most of these games are short lived, as they are either discontinued, or after the initial release are very badly balanced.
I noticed them playing Malifaux for quite a time, and one of the clubmembers mentioned really wanting to introduce it to other players. I tried a game, playing Viktoria vs Raspy, ending in a dramatic draw where all models where dead. Loved it! Then played another game with Sonnia vs Pandora, and noticed that the rules are really good. Even though we made so many mistakes So, after reading through almost the entire pullmyfinger wiki, following the forums on my rss, I am now into the game with Sonnia, and there's a rulebook, cards, Lady Justice and Colette on order.
Also love the fluff and would love to get better at painting, something I just can't put myself to for Warhammer, having to paing 100+ models for just 1k pts games (I play tyranids and empire...).
