Thanks again for the suggestion. I'm just looking for something to learn with for the moment, as if I end up liking Malifaux (which I'm pretty sure I will!), I will add other crews/factions and such as I play. Hopefully, we can get some more people interested in it as well. If we learn it quick enough, we may also try to get something together for our gaming convention in January. The other guy is a really talented painter, so he wants to do some painting demos as well. I have been an RPG person since 1978 so miniatures games are going to be new for me.
Based on your suggestion, I have ordered the Trapper box to add to the Basse core box I already ordered. I should receive them both by the weekend!
