Hateful Darkblack, most of what I've "learned" so far is "Look at PullMyFinger and absorb the wisdom of those who've been playing long enough to know what they're doing."

I'm not averse to some Resurrectionist stuff; more flexibility is always good, and I appreciate the suggestions. I just need to see what works and not go too crazy right out of the gate.

Just wanted to say thanks for this great thread. I am brand new to the game and started out with the Yan Lo box intending to play him on the Ten Thunders side, but it looks like there is a lot to consider on the Resurrectionists side as well.

Well, at least I haven't missed an obvious place to get Komainu then. Punk Zombies? Man...there are so many options in this game, I think a big part of the learning curve will have to be just figuring out what everything (or at least the key things) can do. One bite at a time... Aha! For some reason, my brain equated "Wave 1" with "First Edition." I stand corrected - thanks!

Hi, folks! I'm brand new to the game (as in, "I bought my first Malifaux miniatures last night") and am glad to find what seems to be an active and helpful community. I was drawn to the 10T early on by the look of the minis and the fluff. I was planning to start with a Misaki box, but one wasn't available, and I wanted to get started right away, so here's what I came home with (besides rules and cards): Yan Lo box (Yan Lo, Soul Porter, Chiaki, 3 Ashigaru) Izamu Yin (That's the stuff that met both the "Seems like it would work well with Yan Lo" and "Is in stock at the store" criteria.) I planned to approach Malifaux by building a list, playing a few games, tweaking it, playing a few more, etc. Then I noticed in the rules that you build your list every game based on the current objectives. < HEAD A SPLODE > So clearly, I'm going to want more figures to choose from as I get into the game. So with that said, are there any obvious additional Minions or Henchmen I should look to add to my collection? Toshiro the Daimyo seems like a good choice, and I like the look of the Komainu, but have no idea where those figures come from. Perhaps another Master that might work with some of the stuff I have? Kirai or Molly on the Resser side, maybe? Also, I noticed in the Big Rule Book that there are a number of "General Ten Thunders Upgrades" (Servant of 5 Dragons, Misdirection, etc.). These aren't in the 10 Thunders Arsenal Deck I got; are there physical cards available for these somewhere? Thanks in advance for any advice!
