DefyingReality Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 My eye was first drawn to Nicodem solely because of his model pulling a zombie up right in front of him. Then I read about him and got even more drawn to him in terms of his play style. I picked up Seamus as a second Resser master because I just liked the idea of having a representation of Jack The Ripper on the table. In contrast, I picked up Ophelia on the Gremlin side because the idea of Gremlin Ortegas amused me. I've got a Zipp box pre-ordered at my LGS just because of the sheer hilarity of everything about his box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpact Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I am a huge Deadlands fan. So when I was looking at all the Masters, having decided to start playing: "Wait, there is a Huckster-flavored Master, with a side of Doc Holliday? Wait, he can hit for how much damage if set up properly? Wait, he has magical drug-addicts that are tanky as hell and hit like a truck for minions? Wait, his totem is a respawnable nightmare? And magic drug hookers? And ability names like 'Final Debt', 'Play For Blood', and '52 Card Pickup'?" ..and so it was Jakob Lynch became my first master.

Boomstick Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 No matter the game, I tend towards clever sideways tactics over bashing faces because I find it more fun. So I wanted Colette as my first master, but didn't want to wait several months as my roommate had already gotten So'mer (He picked because he likes silly fun factions, used to play 40k Orks, and also likes versatility when starting a new game). So, unwilling to wait, I picked up Brewmaster, who is also clever and sideways, albeit in completely different ways than Colette. Somehow, my roommate and I are still friends 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorschlag Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Initially intended to pick up Zoraida for a voodoo themed warband for a game from "the-company-which-shall-not-be-named" found a free gift inside limited edition "miss-pack" this sparked my curiosity so I ordered the rule book and a Seamus box. Read the book front to back and immediately ordered book 2 and 3 (this was still 1.5) and got a von schill crew to give us additional learning options, pushed two friends into the game and sold my soul to the swamp hag (still one of my favorite and most potent masters). Picked up Gremlins due to pigs (fat reference-weight loss motivational) and Lucius (because of historical clothing) 20 masters and 6 factions later...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with the success of necroing this thread, ressers seems a perfect fit for you! Given the number of followers I'd say Nico would be a better fit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Barrows Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I played a pbp and the GM was talking about Malifaux. I never played miniature games, but had been considering it for a while. I started to do research (the forum, pullmyfinger wikia, etc.). Honestly, it was a hard choice. I had some money coming, so I knew I could have a good start. Rezzers, Neverborn, and Outcasts (Hamelin and Levi) were the top ones I was considering. I didn't know who I would pick up until I got into the store. Ultimately, I picked Molly for fluff reasons (running Molly in 1.5, that was a good time), Seamus to give Molly some Belles, and Lynch for style and fluff.

Makes sense that Perdita was my first master in Malifaux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 This was back in first edition days but the process was quite simple. I asked the question "Which master works well with the big killer teddy bear?" and, upon hearing the answer, bought a dreamer box on the spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Keenan) Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 How could I pass up Irish Jack the Ripper and zombie hookers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLuke Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'm a sucker for Hucksters and Well Dressed Gentlemen. I chose Lynch... but it was him or Seamus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I bought some badass Samurai with gatling guns. Shop owner asked if I wanted a game with those minis. Once I saw some ninjas I was sold. Unfortunately store was out of ninjas so I had to make do with kung fu monks to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_108 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Back in 1e i saw rasputina and was like "cute girl with ice monsters, im down" not very interesting until i got,my older brother in the game and his choice was based on how he could hunt down my "arcanist scum" thus he picked sonnia. My win loss record was not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Toboggan Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I was really into Japanese folklore a while back, probably something to do with playing a lot of Masamune Rebirth and just a general love of Sengoku era Japan stuff and was considering starting Buishido but I moved away from anyone who plays many games for job purposes. Best friend from home: I started playing Malifaux, it's really good. Me: I'll have a look. If I like the look of anything I'll start a wee crew for when I'm home. And that's the story of how I bought Kirai and the rest of the Resser faction and currently half of the Outcasts while having no one to play against.

spooky_squirrel Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Similar to @Boomstick, I play sideways. My buddy who was already playing for a while recommended the Brewmaster because of the way in which Brewmaster plays and how I play other wargames. I was already attracted to the aesthetic of the Arcanists, which prompted me to pick up Ironsides as my second master. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why every time I see you comment on something before I get to it I wonder if I've been typing out thoughts before I've thought them and posted under a different name. Now I know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergonomic Cat Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I was talking to a friend about how I was considering Malifaux, because it looked cool. And he said "I have a Lilith crew I can give you that I never play." And there it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
