hi all- general new player post
so been playing warhammer fantasy and 40k for over 15 years and after getting miffed with the treatment of the gamers on the whole (40k being a massive game of rock paper scissors/money=win, fantasy no longer existing- AoS isn't fantasy) and although i liked the 9th age to begin with, 1.3 has been a bit of a let down so looking into other games and malifaux has been my game of choice!
I've only played 2 games so far playing just kill each other (the guy teachin me to play thought that was best way considering thats what warhammer games are) (one absolute bloodbath of a mcmorning mirror where the only thing left on the board bottom of turn was the enemy mcmorning and one game of Kirai vs Von Schill where I although i got a nice start (caught my opponent off guard slingshotting the armour in to to his face) the game quickly went south from there (spent too many resources trying to save the armour when Von Schill and Hannah went to town on the poor guy)
I've picked up 4 gangs already (Mcmorning, Kirai, kaeris and Ironsides) with my eye on a couple of other gangs despite the fact I've still got to paint what I've got!
so anyway question
Are the models all that hard to put together? I've been putting models together for a while but malifax seems to be the hardest!- some of the bonding areas are tiny, yet to thin to pin and some of the models seem overly complex (putting Gaki together almost killed me) considering how unhelpful the diagrams online are (nothing is numbered and the parts are so similar looking some of the time) I've completed an entire box of ogers in the time it took me to put together 2 Gaki
so I've always used GW paint however just wondering if there is something better out there paint wise? not a great painter at all so prob just be 2/3 layers (base coat, colour and maybe a wash) so don't need to go to town but just wondering what other people use
Battle reports, I'm a big fan of online battle reports youtube (once bitten is my current go to for 9th age stuff) and just wondered if there is anything out there for malifaux anyone could recommend
think thats everyone really enjoying the hobby so far. well buildin 100s of lists and the games part of the hobby not so much the building and repairs
