Hey there!

I am a new player with one demo game so far and we are starting a Malifaux campaign this month.

I think I am set to play Ten Thunders and once the campaign is rolling I will expand to a Yan Lo crew even though he seems to be an awful Ten Thunders Campaign Master to buy right away since i won't be able to use any models in his box except for chiaki. 

But my main problem is deciding on a leader and picking a synergizing crew that doesnt require spending a fortune.  

I narrowed the Henchmen down to these:

• Toshiro (standard with Yan Lo I guess, imho the ugliest model in malifaux)
• Ama no zako (rules read well, love her look and i'd like to hire her in any crew)
• Ototo (aesthetic wise my fav model)

Besides the leader i would like to take these models :

• Tengu, cheap and fast scheme runners 
• Izamu. Beautiful Model, rules read Well too 
• Sniper, some ranged unit, not too shabby in melee either
• Ama no zako

right now i am looking at the following crews:

A:

Leader: Toshiro

-Izamu

-Chiaki

-Punk Zombie 

-Sniper

-Tengu 

B.

Leader: Ama no Zako

-Yin  

-Izamu

-Chiaki 

-Sniper 

-Tengu

I hope that you can give me some fresh ideas for a crew, maybe even one where i can use a master's box

Gameplay wise I like to have a well rounded group. Resilence, some hard hitter and a mobile crew. Def no stand & shoot army. 

open for any ideas 

Thanks a lot!
