I recently played a introduction game of Malifaux and I am hooked. After many years of playing GW games (I started with Rogue Trader which will really show my age) I have become more than little tired of playing the same old games and was looking for something new. Malifaux seemed to hit all the right notes, it is far cheaper to get into than the usuall £200+ for a new army, it takes up very little space to store the crews and I dont have to spend weeks painting before I can play.
Before I rush out and hit the credit card I would like to ask a few questions.
1 I would prefer to buy the compact edition of the rules for transportation reasons; are all the rules, crews and scenarios included in this?
2 Are the Stat cards included in each blister or starter box? I saw them for sale seperately is this just to replace old cards?
3 Are the Rising Powers and Twisting Fates books also required, I am looking at fielding a Freikorps crew or possibly a Showgirls crew using the starter boxes will I be able to do this with just the Compact Rules?
Many thanks and looking forward to building up my first crew.
