My advice to you is to take it easy, and don’t think about winning games at the moment. Get the models that makes you want to paint, and that conveys a coherent theme. Then get those models table ready and learn how to play. 

You’ll lose, ‘cause older players have more experience with the mechanics and a wider model collection to tailor their game anyway. So just tale your licks, while you learn and find your playstyle. 

My initial purchase involved the Latigo Posse, Austringers and the Peacekeeper. They looked to have a good theme, lots of guns and then a big scary melee beater for variation. The only thing I should have included in that order was the Brutal Effigy - its a given in most Guild Lists. 

My competitive gaming days are long over so I just play for fun mostly. I just wanted to be get models to be able to play a 50ss game and I will be making this one purchase. I think I am going to go with the full Latigo Posse theme for the rule of cool. I've already decided to name the Pistolero for the jokes no but me and my best friend will get. I have not read up on the Brutal effigy too much but I have seen it posted a bunch.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have decided that I will try this game out. I am not new to miniature gaming by any means, but I am looking for advice of what my first purchase should be. I am interested in playing Perdita as the Latigo Family starter has a really nice theme but after reading a lot of stuff on what is the best way to start, I am at a crux. Should I just get the Ortega family (Latigo box, Abuela, Pistolero, Executioner and Austringers) or should I go with two starters (Latigo box and Lady J box)?

To add more to this question, In this game, is it better to stick with a themed force and expand into the broader options or is it better to start with two box and then go into the themed forces?
