I spent a huge chunk of last year painting up a 2500 point Dark Elf army for warhammer Fantasy, then a new shop opened up near me, that had malifaux models in stock, when I saw Jack the ripper with the ability to bring his victims back as zombies. I had a mini nerdgasm. How much do I love M2e - My dark elves still have about 200 points to paint, but I really cant see me ever bothering, There is already talk of converting my 8x4 warhammer table into a malifaux city, and I'm currently debating selling my X wing collection.
For me its the absolute craziness of the models and the awesomeness of the gameplay, (anything where its not all about who kills who) and as my first foray into skirmishes the absolutely gorgeous terrain possibilites that keep me awake at night when I should be sleeping, plus the prices.. I bought the hanged monday gone - 2 models and I managed to leave the shop with enough change from a tenner for a nice cheeky trip to Greggs
