I found the hired swords now thanks, oddly I was looking for them in the shop here and didn't find them. Maybe the search function is being difficult.
Humm.. need to drop a box to buy them lol, difficult choice. Guess poor old Raspy will have to wait.
The idea I have so far is to order most of the stuff 2morro (card decks are due with the store I will use, so hopefully I won't be waiting too long, everything else is in stock)
get the rules and minies, spend time learning the game.
later on I will grab the big rule book for the fluff (I think it is important outside of something like WWII gaming) and grab a blister or two for each of my factions, once I know what I am doing, I will know how to expand the 4 sets I am buying to bring them all to a similar point value, I imagine that out of the box there are some differences.
I realise 2 boxes I am buying are from the same faction, thing is I like Criid and the lady Justice box has some of the best models I have seen, so I will find a way to cope, it will however at least allow me to mix and match from that specific faction.
Lillith is just too cool a model to skip out on for now, will no doubt grab more faction boxes at some point (I don't mind paying "fair" prices for things, since dropping out of a stupid hobby, I have never had so much fun exploring other things FoW, Dust, Mansions of Madness, Bolt Action, and now Malifaux.)
For now I just want to avoid grabbing V1 boxes with V1 cards and suffering extra confusion ontop of the learning process, very unique game is Malifaux, it is making my head spin.
Anyway.. Revised set and the one I added to the cart and will be buying
rules/lite, 2 card decks
mother of monsters
torch and blade
hired swords
lady justice
spending a bit more than I planned, but it ought to last me a while.
Choice of models is pretty much down to "ooh, pretty!".
