@Corn Good to know, im coming in on 3e beta even though I grabbed a starter kit from my local game store. I looked over McCabe a few times actually, he looks like a powerful shooting option for TT. I actually like TT as a concept they just don't have any masters I like outside of Youko(I'd like to see a different mage type, Yan lo and Asami didn't strike my intrests) @Drowsheep I picked up Pandora crew and Iggy at my local store since they were doing a sale. I also grabbed Hinamatsu and a box of Oiran for the future. I think I'm going with Pandora and Youko. (Great deal, cost me 50 plus tax for everything. I think they were clearing merch for 3e releases) I'll proxy Youko, her Totem and Bill for the moment. I think Charm Warders and Bunraku are also Qi and Gong so I may look for those. I'm looking at other Woes for Pandora and all I think there's left are 2 models not released(Aversions, Lyssa) the Carver and Insidious Madness. I hear Mr.Tannen is a good hire though too in her crew.

Been reading some guides and forum posts. I do see a certain trend towards certain masters being much more popular then others. Perhaps I can get some help narrowing things down. These masters caught my intrests after reading more. (I dont nessarily intend to get more then 1 or 2 total crews but I see that Malifaux definitely competitively benefits from building counter crews on the fly so having a large selection is useful) Guild: Lucius Ressurectionists: McMourning Neverborn: Pandora Arcanists: Colette Outcasts: Parker Ten Thunders: Youko Gremlins: Zoraida Any tips for those listed above? (And your opinions on popularity/unpopularity youve seen? Side note, I noticed most masters heavily use conditions. Is there any specific anti-conditions crew ? Thanks

Good points, I actually came from Age of Sigmar and Anima Tactics(And some other skirmish games). I dont really find any playstyle other then mass hordes unappealing and theres no models that particularly intrest me aethetically. My local meta is Guild and Neverborn and I am informed Neverborn is the most popular. What I get the most enjoyment from and this even applies to other games. I like using the race/classes/armys that nobody uses and then play them differantly then even the people who do use them do and im looking for something similar in Malifaux.

Just getting into Malifaux after a demo at my local game store. Im looking to play a master no one ever plays and could use some input. (The Demo guy said no one plays Parker since hes weak but that could change in 3E for example) In your opinions whats some masters that never see play? Thanks
