So I've painted Malifaux for a number of years but never played. As such I have ended up with a sizeable Neverborn and TT collection and never used them but I'm looking into actually playing the game. It has, however, put me in the unusual position of having two pretty fleshed out factions and around a dozen masters available to use as a new player, not counting my guild oddballs and the Viks. The TT units and boxes I have available to use are:
Lynch, Shenlong, Yan Lo, Misaki, McCabe, Mei boxes
Lone Swordsman
Akaname
Oiran
TT Archers
Guild Pathfinder
(Yan Lo) Goryo
TT Brothers
Terracotta warriors
Mr.Graves
Mr.Tannen
Fermented River Monks
Sun Quian
So I'm not sure how to put them together into a reasonable force for any of those masters. Of the masters I have, I'm most interested in Lynch and Shenlong as my potential masters. Lynch because I dig his theme, and Shenlong because his flexibility is very appealing to me. Not to mention that even without playing, I can see that Shenlong, Yu, and Terracotta warriors are a match made in hell. Purchase wise, I'm planning to get Yasunori and Low Rivers next as they seem to be highly recommended from the lurking I've done here and on other forums.
