I've been looking into Malifaux to play along side Warmachine, been watching some Battle Reports, tutorial videos and the like and I really like the look of it. I like the look of the Viktorias and am looking into what models I would need to make a decent enough 35ss and potentially 50ss crew to get me going and to learn the game.
I will probably pick up the Hired Sword Crew box to start with and maybe shift in a model or two, just to change it up a bit from the standard box (and standard boxes are never normally the best in any miniatures game).
From what I've read, I wouldn't mind adding in a bit of range support and potentially dropping a Ronin or two. I would like to keep the box as intact as possible and maybe buy 2 or 3 blisters at the most. I've had a look and the models that interest me the most are the Convict Gunslinger, Bishop, Killjoy and the Librarian. I hear there is another sister called Vanessa too? (but doesn't seem to be released yet?)
The bit I'm struggling the most with is which upgrades to add to which models?
I'm not necessarily asking for lists to be written, maybe just a few tips on what works well with what and which upgrades may work best on which models as place to start
Thanks
