Thanks for all the input. You guys are making this really easy. My local wargames store doesn't sell malifaux, but I will hit them up for paints and brushes. And my local hobby store for the tools. Does anyone have any guides for making terrain at home?

So we have never played a miniatures game before, I saw this at Origins and decided I was going to check it out. So I have been doing some research and I've come up with a few questions. 1. Do I need the Core rulebook or can I just get the rules only manual? The core book seems to be sold out everywhere. 2. Terrain. My plan is to use some Dave Graffam Models at least at first. I'd like to get some stuff on the same quality level Wyrd had on display but it seems so expensive, are there any cheaper places? 3. The starting crews I'm going with are Pandora and Ophelia. I'm going to get a doppleganger and slop haulers respectively. From what I can tell that puts me around 50ss on each. Is that right? 4. Painting and assembling what products do you guys recommend? I'll need the whole shebang as I have never painted minis or really put them together. Any good starters kits? 5. Fate decks how needed are they? It seems like they would be easier but not required.
