So I've gotten my Latigo posse, a peacebringer and some austringers, and are about to get them ready for the board.

Any recommendations on where to go next adding to the collection?

I'm looking at getting a box of raptors, possibly greenstuffing some robo-bitz on them. Thought they would go nicely with the austringers.

So I finally placed the order. 

The latigo posse, peacekeeper and austringers, and a deck. Those were the stuff, I wanted to paint, the rest will need to get proxied until I find out, whether this game is the thing for me

Another question: all those upgrade decks, etc. I guess, they're practical - but what are they really? And what would recommend to get - if any?

Good advice @Adran

Thanks guys, I better get myself a little time to wrap my head around the rules and understand the lingo, and then get some games under my belt. So I have a better understanding of whatever, you're talking about

But the gist I get is, that in the list above, Papa loco is more of a gimmick, that is likely a waste, but can have a big payoff. That Abuela would be a good substitute, but what if I wait about getting her and use one of the other two guys in the starter set? From trawling the internet, I get the feel, that Santiago and Nino aren't as popular?

I would swap Loco with Abuela but it depends on your opponents game level. I found the better my opponents became the more likely Papa blew in my face. I also think now that the Papa box is dead he`s not worth the extra  for one turn.

And I guess, the extra synergy from getting the peacekeeper into the family helps with the movement tricks, that they can do? Or why?

It's kind of tricky to make a list of priorities. Here is the best I can do. Mileage may vary so hopefully a few others will weigh in.

Sure, but it makes sense. The Ortegas are good at shooting, so austringers and pathfinder wouldn't bring much new to the game as opposed to a big bruiser, like the peacekeeper. And the hounds, I guess, are throwaway distractions, that I imagine can be a big nuisance. And if I understand the role of the effigy, then it is, like the nephilim, supposed to be a force multiplier.

So a list could be something like this?:

Thanks.

Guild hounds again look thematically nice. Of course they'll want to 'set the dogs' on people/things. And I'll probably warm up to the Brutal Effigy, once I delve into the fluff - as I don't feel, I really get it. 

And the description of mobile glasscannons really confirms my choice. I'd hate it, if the tactic was an immobile gunline, but winning on movement is what makes a fun game. 

So if my 'wish list' ATM is :

Perdita Crew (a given)

Abuela ( hate to leave family behind )

Peacekeeper ( cuz its a Big Wobot )

Guild Hounds ( cannon fodder - and some mechanic with markers, that I don't get yet )

Pathfinder ( 'cuz magic bear traps is a nasty concept )

Austringers ( 'cuz they're 'injun' )

Brutal Effigy ( as a Franco Nero homage ).

I'll end up spilling around £100. Should I then go cheap and decide to split it up in 'nice to' and 'need to' haves, what would you then recommend?

Hi there.

I've decided to get into this little game, as the models just looks too good to pass up on. And I just fell for the western feel of the guild - whats not to like about sixshooters and steampunk?

So I decided to go with the Ortegas, and now I'm considering what to expand with, and as I have absolutely no understanding of the rules, I just got to go with model looks.

So I looked at the Pathfinder, a tracker/hunter seems to make good sense for a cowboy posse. The same with the austringers, they look like 'injun' trackers.

Abuela and the Peacekeeper seems like a fun take on ol' granny with a muscle servant.

So does this sound like it could make for some nice games? And is there anything, that you'd think I'd miss theme and gameswise?

BTW: I have a background of 40K and Fantasy, where I preferred playing fast and mobile armies. I also prefer a small elite army - in my current game Infinity, I play Aleph, and like it a lot. I play mostly for the theme/models but prefer a little synergy and cold calculation behind it.
