Ah thanks Paradox & Ferossa for getting back to my post. As I said before, it was a really tough decision to go with Guild in the end.
I really liked all of the factions, if it had been another night I may have picked Ramos, but that's why I went with Hoffman in the end as the pack would still work with Perdita's crew and give me the option to pick up M&SU later on.
What's really clever game design is the way crew's give you legitimate access to other factions. I still plan to get Collidi and I have the option to get dual faction Lucius at the same time.
But as you said Ferossa, I like to have my models assembled and painted when I take them onto the battlefield. It gives me plenty of time to get what I have ready, rather than having an overwhelming amount of grey plastic!
I bought Perdita's crew, not just because I love the genre/model's, but because I've always wanted to add Kromlech's Cacti to the model bases of something and this gave me the perfect opportunity.
On a side note, I said before that when I got my Hoffman box that one of the 50mm bases was missing. I contacted Element Games who said they could help but it may be quicker for me to get in touch directly with Wyrd so I did. I sent a mail and Amy from Wyrd got back to me straight away and even though I was in the UK she sent the base out to me from America on a tracked package. I got in from work today to find it on my dining room table.
To me the mark of a good company isn't when it always goes right, but how they react when it goes wrong, and I'm really impressed with Wyrd & Amy. Thanks for sorting that out so quickly and efficiently, as a customer it's so reassuring to know that the people you're buying from care.
