Thanks for the welcome and the advice everyone. I really appreciate it.
I had originally picked up Lady J just simply because I enjoyed the look of the miniatures in her crew, but having tried her out this weekend during a simple master-on-master game with another newbie friend, I think I quite like her! I do understand that she's more of a beat-stick than an "objective grabber" (not sure if it's a term employed in Malifaux), but I do like her all the same. She does seem a tad slow though 😅
Thanks for the purchase advice! I recently received an old metal Steward from somebody who quit the game a while back, and will be looking to get the Lone Marshal box soon once I've painted up my core box (already painted Lady J and her totem).
Once again, thank you!
