  1. Thanks for the list. We will give it a try I also like the Molly box and the Necropunks but i am not sure if my wife likes them. She is very busy at the moment finishing her PhD and doesn´t have time to look at the miniatures. I will try to sell them to her when she is finished
  2. The Som'er-Old Mayor-Combo sounds awesome. I will definetly try it in the future Today I placed my order. It included Som'er, Ulix, Hog Whisperer, Slop Haulers, Burt Jebsen, War Pig, Merris and Sammy LaCroix. I am absolutey excited to play
  3. I just placed my order. I got Seamus, McMourning and Yin as a starting force for my wife Thanks again for your advice.
  4. I just placed my order now. Peacekeeper didn´t get in, but I ordered Lady J, Sonnia, McMourning, Hoffman, Ryle, Brutal Effigy and Austringers Since the models in the starter box are good fits for Sonnia I will start playing with her and blast the **** out of the filthy Ressers^^ Regarding the Arcanists, I also like the Colette box set. In the forseable future, I will definetly purchase some Archanist stuff. The Rail Golem looks stunning and I really like the whole stuff from the Ramos box set, especially Howard Langston. He looks like a cyber drider Hoffman will be excited to get these new toys
  5. Alright, Hoffman seems to be a good choice if his minions are also usable with Lady J and Sonnia. I also have no problems with expanding into the Arcanists territory to get a few more constructs for him in the future. Regarding the last master, I am leaning towards McMourning because he would help building a nice Resser crew for my wife. I know that I can´t use everything from his box but I think that I should have enought choice with the three other Guild crew boxes, Austringers, Brutal Effigy, Ryle and maybe Peacekeeper
  6. @benjoewoo I don´t like the old metal models that much. I will have to wait for the unreleased plastic models Besides, I definetly want to start Guild (and Gremlins*g*), McMourning would only be of interest for me to expand my Guild forces. The Resser exclusive stuff in his box would be used just by my wife´s Seamus crew. Yesterday I had a funny dialog with my wife regarding Yin. I was a litte sceptic if she would like the concept of a female head with just a spine and organs. Myself (showing a picture of Yin´s box): How do you like this? My wife: Is it useful with my starting crew? Myself: Hm....yes?! My wife: Alright, where did you get this information? Myself: From the internet....a Malifaux forum. My wife: Ok buy it. Myself:
  7. Hog Whisperer sounds good. I also like the miniature very much Maybe I can fit him into my budget. I think I will not buy more Piglets and Bayou Gremlins at the beginning. They will have to wait until I feel the need of having more of them
  8. Thanks for all the advice My conclussion would be that Ulix and Som'er are the best masters to use with pigs, especially the Pigapult. I generally have the problem that I like the whole Gremlin product line. At some point, I definetly will own all of them Therefore I need a little guidance to get stuff first that is better for beginners. Som'er, Ophelia and Wong seem to be the beginner masters. That leaves me with four masters to choose from. Do you think that I should buy more than two masters in the beginning? If I only choose two masters, muy purchase list would look like this: Som'er, Ulix, Slop Haulers, Burt Jebsen, War Pig, Merris and Sammy LaCroix Does this look like a solid starting force?
  9. Thanks for all the advice. McMourning is an intriguing option because I myself wanted to start with the Guild faction and I really like his appearance I think I will add his box to my order.
  10. Thanks for all the advice My problem is that Wayland Games offers 20% discount on the whole Malifaux range and the exchange rate of Euro to British Pound is very favourable. I have set myself a limit of 300 Euro for my order and I think it will be 100% Malifaux stuff. I´m also starting Gremlins and will buy some Ressers for my wife, therefore I can´t spend the whole budget on Guild. I would estimate that I have around 150 Euro for the Guild stuff. Lady J and Sonnia would be 40% of my Guild budget, with Ryle, Brutal Effigy and the Austringers I would be at 60% of the budget. Even then I still have around 40% of the money to spend on other Guild stuff. Are the minions of Hoffman and Lucius good additions to Lady J or Sonnia? I understand that it can be a problem if I have too many masters too soon but maybe I can use the rest of their boxes with Lady J and Sonnia before I start to learn playing Hoffman and Lucius. McMourning is also an intriguing option because of my wife´s preference for the ressers. She could use the Resser stuff of McMourning with her new Seamus crew and I can play Guild McMourning So at this point, my purchase list would look like this: Lady J, Sonnia, Ryle, Brutal Effigy, Austringers, two out of the following three (Hoffman, McMourning, Lucius) What do you think? Is it overkill? I tend to go in this direction very easily Otherwise I would reduce my Malifaux budget and buy some 4Ground Terrain
  11. Hi there, I am a longtime wargamer from Germany but absolutely new to Malifaux. I have persuaded my wife to also start a Malifaux crew. She really likes the Rotten Belles and Seamus. Therefore, his crew box seems to be a good starting point. Do you recommend any additions to this box to get it to 50 SS or is the crew out of the box playable at this point level? Greeting Vader
  12. Hi there, I am a longtime wargamer from Germany but absolutely new to Malifaux. I fell in love with the crazy gremlins. I especially like alle the pigs. The pigapult is my personal favourite I got the awesome Pigapult, some Piglets and Gracie for christmas and now I am looking to expand my Gremlin forces. I know that I need a master but I am not sure which one(s) to get first. Since I love pigs, Ulix seems to be the number one choice but I have read that Som'er and Ophelia seem to be the masters that are most recommended for starters. Are my christmas presents also useful with them? I am also a big fan of the Brewmaster, since I like his lifestyle*g* Mah Tucket and Wong also look awesome. Since I can´t afford all of them, which ones do you recommend and what non master boxes do you suggest as good add ons to a Gremlin force? Slop Haulers are mentioned very often and Burt Jebsen is often mentioned in the same breath as Gracie. There are other models that I do like very much (Hog Whisperer, Merris LaCroix, Warpig, Whiskey Golem, Rooster Riders, Sammy LaCroix, Goblin Taxidermists and Stuffed Piglets) but I am not able to decide which ones are the most useful in the beginning. Greetings Vader
  13. Hi there, I am a longtime wargamer from Germany but absolutely new to Malifaux. I first fell in love with the Death Marshall models. They look awesome as hell. That´s the main reason why I wanted to start with the Guild I got the 2-Player Starter Set for Christmas and now I want to expand my Guild forces. Since the Death Marshalls are included in the Lady Justice Box Set, this is pretty much an instant buy. The other models in the box are also absolutely awesome. I was always a big fan of melee combat, so Lady J with her big sword is just right up my alley. I have also read that Sonnia Criid would be a good addition to the Guild models from the starter set. That would be master number two for me. At this point I am not so sure what I should add to my Guild forces. Regarding the other masters, I am not a big fan of the Ortegas, but Francisco seams to be one of the best Guild henchmen. I also don´t like McCabe. On the other hand I am a big fan of McMourning, but I´ve read that the stuff in his box set is partially only usable with the filthy Ressers. I also like the idea of Hoffman and his constructs, especially his ability to hire some of the awesome looking Arcanists constructs (Rail Golem, Howard Langston). Furthermore I could get Lucius for a very good price. Since I can´t buy all of them, which masters besides Lady J and Sonnia would you recommend for a beginner or would it be more clever to just buy these two masters and expand with other minion, enforcer and henchmen boxes? There are some boxes that caught my attention (Peacekeeper, Ryle, Austringers, Abuela, Brutal Effigy, Guild Hounds, Witchling Handlers). Greetings Vader
  14. I will definetly buy the Som'er box. Do you think that it would be best if I buy two Gremlin crews to demonstrate the game to my friends?
  15. Hi there, I am a longtime wargamer from Bochum in Germany. I started playing Battletech in 1994 and joined the Warhammer 40k bandwagen with the second Edition in 1995. I am a longtime GW fan but I grew tired of the bad rules and the large amount of miniatures needed to play. That´s where Malifaux comes into play. I really like that you only need a small amount of miniatures to play the game. The miniatures are also absolutely gorgeous and most of the time crazy as well. Especially, I like the Gremlins because of their crazy appearance and the PIGS! I fell in love with the Pigapult I got the 2 Player Starter Set, a Pigapult, Piglets and Gracie as a christmas present. Now I am looking to expand this stuff to have at least two crews to demo the game to my wife and my friends. The 2 Player Starter Set says that the miniatures inside are best suited with Sonnia Criid and Lilith. I like both of these masters but I am afraid to start three factions at the beginning. Are any of the miniatures in the Starter Set useful with Gremlins? Otherwise I have to buy Sonnia, Lilith AND Som'er Another question regarding Malifaux: how do you restrain yourself from buying everything? I have the problem that I like all factions very much except 10 Thunders and I see myself buying the whole Gremlin faction, most of the Guild and Neverborn stuff and some Resurrectionists, Arcanists and Outcasts^^
