If you are looking to start out playing a single master that can be competive in most pools you are probably looking at starting with Sandeep. Marcus can probably get the job done as well if you prefer the aesthetics of Beasts.
With Sandeep, you’d probably want to start out with his crew box, the Ironsides crew box, a box of wind gamin, and an Arcane Effigy. That should get you a reasonable starting point for Sandeep that you can build on with additional purchases once you’ve decided what you like.
Starting Marcus, I’d probably grab his box, the Ramos box, Malifaux Raptors, and a couple of beasts you like the looks of. Get something small and cheap like Hoarcats and something that’s a bit beefier. A lot of folks grab a second Sabretooth so that they can hire one and have Myranda turn into one. The Blessed of December is a decent alternative to a second Sabretooth. The problem you might find with Marcus as your first master is that he’ll have you buying a lot of Beasts that none of the other Arcanist masters can use. Sandeep can run into the same issue with Academics but it’s not as bad since he doesn’t tend to hire outside of the faction as much.
Whatever you end up doing you’ll end up with multiple Arcanist masters since almost all of the boxes have models that work well in different crews. Having more masters also gives more options for what you can choose to bring into a game after you know how the board will be laid out, whay objectives are available to score from, and which faction you are playing against.
Since you’ll end up with multiple masters anyways you could always just pick the master that appeals to you the most and start building from there. It might not be super competitive but just starting out you are probably going to get your ass handed to you by experienced players even if you are bringing the best stuff in the faction. You might as well like the crew you are playing while you are losing.
THANK you so much for given me a point to start off with that i know can be somewhat competitive! this is a long post for a random dude on the internet and yet you used time for me i thank you VERY much the malifaux community is amazing!!! <3 hope the Ferdinand will work with Marcus x)
