Sorry for this needless topic, I just wanted to be happy and say, My first Malifaux stuff has finaly arrived! Ophelias The Kin, A box of Slop Haulers, And a Fate Deck. It arrived today, And I'l start trying to build this weekend. Dang the Gremlins are tiny! xD

I must say, I'm suprised that Kirai isent a Ten Thunders dual-faction Master. She looks like she belongs in the Ten Thunders.

Awesome, Thanks for the very helpful awnser! I was very confused there, But you explained it well Thank you!

So, This is probably a extremely stupid question so realy sorry in advance for asking this, But.. I have been trying to read up a bit on the game and some abilities apparantly requier multiple of a suit, or multiple diferent suites to be flipped in order for you to use them.. Like for example, Reading up on Lucius on PullMyFinger it says on his sword cane attack " the true power of his sword cane is in the Red Tape trigger available with a second ram." a second ram..? You flip a card, If thats a ram I take it you have your first ram there, How do you get a second ram..?

I'm thinking of either Misaki, Or Ophelia from Gremlins.. Gremlins seem like fun, But at the same time I'd like to play humans for once and I do like the asthetics of the Ten Thunders faction (Will probably end up with multiple masters across multiple factions with in a year or two due to never being able to stick to something and wanting to have many options) And it is hard to avoid factions others want to play because we are 8 people who are getting started, And I dont think anyone is intrested in Resurrectionists.. Two have already bought crew boxes (One has The Guild with, I think it was Lady Justice, And the other has Arcanists with Rasputina) The others, Like me, Havent chosen yet..

Thats realy the question isent it? And I cant awnser it.. I realy dont know what I would like.. Maybe when I have played the game some I'd be able to figure out what I'd wanna play.. As it is, All I know is that I want something that isent to hard to learn with.. I like fluff, But wont be able to get the big rule book with the fluff untill next month (I want to get a crew box first so I can get started with my friends) I like cool looking models, And then gameplay kind of comes in third.. Atleast thats the order I chose in other games I play.

So, I have this big big problem.. I just cant decide who to play.. I'm running in circles between Gremlins, Ten Thunders, And Arcanists.. I have a horribly hard time making up my mind on anything... There is too many awesome models.. xD I do realy like the looks of the monks.. All of them, High River, Low River, Fermented River, Wandering River.. They are all cool, Are any of them useful?

And back on Gremlins again.. (I rolled over to Arcanists for a while but in the end managed to pull myself back to Gremlins) So, I kind of want Ophelia, Mah Tucket, Som'er and Ulix.. I'm considering getting Ophelia and a box of Slop Haulers, Aswell as a tape measure and a Fate Deck as my first purchase. Realy sorry about running arround so much, I can only blame Malifaux having such awesome models in every faction.

Thanks for the replies, Very useful information My biggest problem is Malifaux have so many awesome models, And all I know is realy what I read on PullMyFinger and saw on battle reports on youtube (Oh, And 2 matches in the starter box) so I realy struggle to make up my mind, Because everything is just so awesome.. xD I think, I will sit down and read more on PullMyFinger, And discuss with my friends what they want to start, And maybe By the time the order day arrives I might have managed to decide.. xD I'm realy looking forwards to building my first crew and joining this awesome game

I'm doing it again.. I promised I wouldent, That I had decided.. But here I am, Running arround like a headless chicken.. I had decided to play Gremlins.. Then over the course of 5 days everyone starting the game in my group started discussing it, Two others wanted to play gremlins too, And they discussed the masters they wanted, And.. I dident order in time due to having to wait for my pay check.. And now.. i'm looking at Ten Thunders.. Ten Thunders have many awesome looking models I like, And.. I found, I actualy like the looks of most of the Masters.. So.. Tell me a bit about the Masters in the Ten Thunders? What ones are easy to play for a beginner, What ones are fun to play and face, What are their strengths and weaknesses?

And.. I failed.. I took too long to order (Cant order untill my pay check arrives) combined with 2 other people starting Malifaux here wanting Gremlins aswell.. And everyone is discussing what they want on the facebook group of my gaming group.. So.. I started looking arround again and now i'm considering Ten Thunders.. Darn it.. I managed to keep my mind made up for barley 5 days..

Thanks for the replies, I do have the digital rules on my tablet. I do prefer physical books though.. I find them easier and quicker to flipt hrough to find rules. I do like reading fluff, So if my group continues playing (We are only at the "Chose our first Crew Boxes" stage so far. I have chosen, The other three are still deciding.) I might get the big book with fluff too.

Sorry for the bad title, Couldent think of a better one.. Anyways! I have questions and here they come, First, Is the big rule book with the fluff worth it? Is the fluff worth getting that one instead of the cheeper rules manual? Second, What is in the Crossroads expansion book? Thanks in advance

After much thinking and reading, I think I will go for Ophelia. While I love the looks of Collodi, And Lynch looks quite intresting, The Gremlins sound like the most fun to play and I realy like the sounds of Ophelia, Mah and Som'er, They all three sound fun and good (Atleast to a total newbie who has no knowledge or experience outside 2 tutorial matches from the two player starter) So I think I'l pick up Ophelias Crew Box, And maybe another set of models or two, Like the Slop Haulers..

Hmm... After reading a bunch, I think I'l pick Gremlins. I like Ophelia, Som'er and Mah Tucket. All three sound like fun and good Masters, And they have some fun models. So I'l get Ophelia to begin with, Maybe a couple of extra models (I hear the Slop Haulers are good to add) and then when I have played for a while I might get Mah and Som'er too

Thank you Still trying to chose my crew. Considering Jakob Lynch of the Neverborn, Or Ophelia of the Gremlins..

It was awesome! I still havent bought my first crew but a friend got the two player starter box so we tried a couple of games and we are both sold and plan to buy real crews soon. The game was so easy to understand and logical, Easy to play but deep and hard to master (Or so it feels). I just wanted to share, Love this game now

So, After asking arround on various parts of the forum, And thinking, And reading, I think I want to either buy Ophelia's Crewbox or Jakob Lynch's Crewbox.. Now to try and chose what one to get without spinning away to other Masters again..

You have been most helpful in making up my fractured mind though!

So here I come again! Running arround like a headless chicken trying to make up my mind before me and my friend order our stuff! After reading a bit of the fluff on the Malifaux main page (After clicking on the faction and then each of the Masters) I'm once again leaning towards Neverborn.. While Collodi is my favorite looking crew box, I do like the looks and sound of the Dreamer and Lynch aswell.. So.. Could people tell me a bit about these three, Their playstyles, Advantages and such? And sorry for making so many topics al over the place asking stupid questions in attempts of chosing my first faction/crew box.. I just have a notoriously hard time making up my mind..

I'm not quite sure what you mean with preclud, Sorry I love the looks of Collodi and his crew, They seem awesome, And there is a few other Neverborn masters I like too (Lynch and Lilith and Lucius and the Dreamer) But I like Gremlins quite a bit too, And their units seem to be made out of pure fun.. But arg.. I just cant decide who to bring.. Malifaux have way too many nice looking models in too many factions.. I cant decide who to get.. xD Maybe buying the big rule book with the fluff in it will help me decide by reading the fluff..

And here I am.. I thought I had settled on Gremlins.. I even decided to buy a crew box as quickly as possible to make sure I dident change my mind.. Before I had time to decide on what one to get, I started drifting again.. I eyed the Outcasts and these four masters and their crew boxes intrest me.. What are their playstyles, Advantages and disadvantages, And why I should go for one of them instead of a Gremlin? (Cus I just cant make up my mind... Arg.. Malifaux have too good looking models.. I want them all.. xD)

Well, That makes me rather worried.. I'm not very good at assembling things.. But if I fail with plastic glue and poor skills, I supose I can try to convince a friend to help (Cus he's good at assembling things, Unlike me.. xD)

I'm just curious here but, Who is your favorite Masters? Do they belong to your favorite faction? Or are they masters you like despite not being from your favorite faction?
