My best advice: Start a WIP thread at the CMoN forums. There are some very helpful and talented people there.

If the price is right (probably will come down to shipping... again) I'm buying these. They look great.

I just got my TtB, so I can only speak from my general roleplaying experience - but four players seems ideal. With more players, everyone gets less 'screentime' and very active players can make sure that the more passive players get next to no time. System gets harder to handle and everything gets bogged down, and play between players is sure to leave someone out. 

Three players can work, but with just two the game becomes a bit limited; it will always be things nobody knows how to do.

Wait is over! Huge package arrived this week! Somewhat earlier than I expected, so I have little time to set it up - but still awesome! Hopefull I might press in a game of Through the Breach during Xmas break.

The waiitiiing is the haaardest part....

Yeah well, the avatar isn't that big a deal - I bought it because of the big discount, not because I really need it.

I should be getting some CMoN-credit soon, it would be perfect to spend that on Arsenal cards plus whatever I immediately find that I'm missing. So I don't worry too much about it, though the cards will surely be useful, since I grabbed some cheap 1E stuff.

[...] but I probably should hold some $$ back for things like groceries and rent (I suppose).

Malifaux: Encounters - University of Transmortis Box Set

Sorry about the formating, it is late and I am too lazy to do it on iPad.

I realise that I forgot the arsenal decks...

And thus, I have put in an order....

I'm in Norway, and I am not (particularly) looking at unreleased stuff, but, well, all of it. I'm new to the game.

I assumed it would be hard to know yet, so I guess I have to google, but suggestions on how to look is always welcome.

A question, in case Wyrd does not put the things I need to start on sale - does anyone know of other places that might put Malifaux on Black Friday sale? I watch CoolMiniorNot, other suggestions will be appreciated. Need someplace that ships internationally.

I'm hoping for some starter stuff - Black Friday would be the perfect time for me to get into the game!

This is going to be expensive... But getting two boxes for each faction IS a good suggestion. If I go down that path, who would be good partners to my chosen masters?

Also, what is in Crossroads?

You're on the same page as me as well - I'm most definetly getting the book and two decks.

No, I am not on a tight budget, but I am looking to make a single big order, since shipping tends to increase the cost significantly. Hence, I need to save up a little first (I've spent my fun&games budget for this month, also, I've been promising myself to paint up some of the stuff I have before I fill the house with more stuff - this has worked out nicely, I have almost quadrupled my painting speed). I want enough stuff to keep me going for a while, maybe adding a small order with a mini or three after the first few games if I see that I need to tweak.

Part of what I like about games like this, is the visual part... Playing with cardboard counters wouldn't do it for me. If I wanted to proxy, I would at least dig up some decent minis form another game. So, big spending it is.

An active community is absolutely a big plus.

Anyone have any additional thoughts for my first purchase? I'm having a hard time trying wait to buy here... but I don't really have the money to spend, either.

Okay, they do sound neat, but I'll focus on what I need and can use now at the start. I see the The University of Transmortis - Story Encounter - at a glance, this seems very interesting. But is it useful? Anyone have experience with it?

I *do* like big flashy models, but it sounds like something I'm better off picking up later.

Okay, here is a question right off the bat: What are the avatars? Do I want/need those?

Masterdisaster: No worries, I'm a long time gamer, so I've made my share of dumb questions. For now, I'll puzzle together a wishlist, save up for it and hopefully make an order by Christmas. I also I have some other projects I want to finish before getting more models (only ca 200 Zombicide minis to go).

Averageboss: Well... They aren't the most expensive thing either... Maybe I have to pick up some then.

Dirial: Thank you!

Asrian: Thank you for the suggestion. The fact that McMourning is dual faction was what tipped the scales in his favour. It will give me extra flexibility - but I doubt it will make buy fewer models.

Nighthater: Don't worry, I wouldn't dream of getting a game without the rules. I got some terrain already, and I am working on a battle board.

Masterdisaster: I already did, that helped me chose the masters - but also left me with even more questions.

Tmod: Ole, faktisk. I'm in Trondheim, and while there might be players here, I don't know them... But I have many gamer friends.

Mudgeblack: I was hoping to skip those... But you might have changed my mind....

Hi all,

I've been looking around for a new game, and after some consideration, Malifaux seems to be right up my ally! I've been looking both at these pages and at the beginners wiki, and I do feel a bit overwhelmed. I live in Norway, and it is hard (so far impossible) to buy anything locally, so I have to order. Shipping here is expensive, so I prefer to make large orders.

Nobody else here plays Malifaux, so I am planning to pick up at least three masters. I've looked, and concluded that I like the style of Sonnia Criid, McMourning and Pandora, so I'll get the boxed sets for those three.

Then I want some other stuff that will go well with them, but without a rulebook, I have a hard time choosing. I don't know what works, what is good, what will get me flexibility and how much I'll need. Any suggestions? I am also open for comments on my master selection (I want them to play well against each other).
