Hi everybody!
I'm new to the forums and to Malifaux overall. My fiance and I have started getting into board games over the past year or so. Tabletop war games have always looked fun, but neither of us want to blow all the cash to get started on something like Warhammer. Not only does Malifaux have a relatively low buy-in cost, but it has some great mechanics that I think we'd enjoy.
Since we're just trying to get into the game, I was hoping you folks would be kind enough to recommend a pair of masters that will not only be relatively easy to get started on (though I am fine with a learning curve on a master), but, more importantly, will be pretty balanced when playing against each other without any additions. I'm okay with getting maybe one additional blister for each of us but we really want to just start with the box sets ideally.
The master(s) she's interested in:
Lillith
The master(s) I'm interested in:
Rasputina
Viktoria
Seamus
Ramos
Maybe Hoffman or Leveticus (though I understand Leveticus is not very beginner friendly)
If anybody could recommend some good pairs based off of her desire to play Lillith or the ones I'm interested in trying out, it'd be much appreciated. Also, if there's a pair that you really like that doesn't involve anyone listed here then I'm still all ears. I tend to not like the Guild very much but starting on equal footing and having a fun time with our starter boxes is really the most important thing to me.
Thanks again everyone!
