Ryle and Franciso was a combo I was thinking of, though I'm not a huge fan of Santiago. For the same points you can get an Austringer.

I was going to paint Ortega to 50 with some extra before I got Lilith and do the same, but I might change my mind as I get used to my first crew. I just like to have at least two "armies" as I always get my buddies involved in whatever I'm playing.

Thanks. I've read allot on the Pullmyfinger wiki and read some battle reports, but right now I just want to get 50 points of a crew painted up and then I can add stuff on. Even if I suck at a chosen mission I'll have a crew to get my butt stomped on it;) I'm doing a demo game tonight, and have been reading the rulebook which is my only real frame of reference. I'm really going Ortega because I love cowboys/girls and kind of wanted a shooty crew.

Hello all, I'm a veteran lead pusher, but have not played Malifaux yet. I'm considering purchasing the Perdita Ortega Crew box to paint them, and also do the Lilith box. I like the models and fluff best for these two so far. What I wanted to know is if these two lists play well, and will be enjoyable long term and what models I should add to the starting Ortega crew box (got some idea from people for the Lilith box). I really like the guys with hawks, but wanted to plan my purchases intelligently to build up to two 50 point crews (want to have an extra crew to help teach buddies the game). I would love thoughts on what I should pick up. Thanks,
