Thank you all for your replies, I really like Maxine and also “I’d go with the one whose models makes you want to paint the most.“ really helped. Since she is not released so far and I have no idea when she will be, I will probably start with Lucas McCabe which I also liked during browsing the Explorers Society (and he is quite cheap I think I can get the crew in 1 big and 1 small box) and if I like the game I will buy Maxine with her crew as soon as she is released. Thanks again

Hello, my friend convinced me that we should try to buy and play Malifaux so I've spent past few days trying to select the master I will buy first to try the game. I've never played any miniatures games before but I do play a lot of board games, tcgs etc.

I think I will like to play something crazy (both lore and mechanic wise), I like high risk - high reward, unique and weird things and I really like trying to make unusual things work. I don't like to play the "meta" overpowered things and I don't think I would like some master with simple & straight game plan like shooting everything and that's it.

I'm currently considering following:

Wong (or other Bayou master) for being weird / crazy. I just feel that I would need to buy like 4+ boxes (I like pigapult) just for the wong and I feel that he might be even too weak to make him work.

The Dreamer - even though not really crazy, I really like that filtering fate deck ability and nightmare thematic in general. But from reading this forum I feel like he is kind of overpowered and very popular, I don't really want to come to the local community where there are 5 other Dreamers being played (no idea what local meta is).

But I'm open to basically any other master recommendation. As I said weird / crazy / unique and I think I would also like something with fate deck / hand / cards manipulations.

Thank you!
