Puppet Crew Building Help

[Wyrd Justun]

Hey everyone, 

Is it possible to make legal Malifaux crews using the models from PWU?
If so, would you be kind enough to share them. I think it would be a good way for me to try the game out before investing in it.

even if the answer is yes, it would more than likely be followed by "but not a functional one" and im not even sure if it *is* yes

but you can always do some digital matches, all the cards 'n stuff are free!

Thanks for the reply. I have been trying to put together who is who and thought I would ask for help as it is quite a large undertaking for someone brand new to the game like me (there are A LOT of models in Malafaux). 
 

I’ll keep trying to figure it out.

Can you list the models from PWU?

Here's the model list from the webstore, with faction highlighting...

Masters

• Lady Justice
• Seamus
• Pokey Vik (so one Victoria when you'll want to have two)
• Misaki (listed on the box as a henchman, because she was, originally...)

Henchers

•  Judge
• Bete Noire
• Rusty Alyce

Enforcers and Minions

• Hooded Rider (I could have sworn this was Dead Rider.  Without getting the box down, I'm sure it was a green card...)
• 3x Executioner
• 3x Death Marshal
• 3x Austringer
• 3x Rotten Belle
• 3x Nurse
• 3x Punk Zombie (renamed as Rabble Riser in this edition)
• 3x December Acolyte
• 3x Razorspine Rattler
• 3x Silurid
• 3x Malifaux Cherub
• 3x Ronin
• 3x Convict Gunslinge

So, yeah, faction changes and reorganization since first edition have made that a bit hard to work with...  There's three legal sets of models to work with of that, with some stretching:

• Lady Justice (without totem, or use a cherub/silurid proxy)
• Pale Rider ((using the Hooded Rider on a big base) (11)
• The Judge (10)
• Death Marshal (5 each) x3
• Executioner (9+1 each) x2
• Austringer (7+1 each) x2.  (could probably use rattlers for the raptors...)

and

• Seamus (without totem, or use a cherub/silurid proxy)
• Dead Rider (using the Hooded Rider on a big base) (11)
• Rotten Belle (5 each) x3
• Bete Noire
• Nurse (6+1) x3
• Rabble Riser (6+1) x3

and

• Viktoria (use Misaki to fill in as the 2nd Viktoria)
• Ronin (6)x3
• Convict Gunslinger (8+1) x3
• Rusty Alyce (9+1)

They're all on 25mm bases.  You'll want to go out and get a box or two of 30mm Malifaux bases.  The good news is that the 25mm bases should fit pretty well into the recessed area on top of the 30mm bases.

Not too bad if you use proxy for totems. You'll have a decent feel of the game.

Thank you SO much! This was really helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to do this for me. 
I love the look of the Victoria list! And I will be sure to try the others too.

I have taken both Lady J and Seamus PW crews to events, with some conversions to make usable crews. That was in M2E though, so I need to review for M3E (so thanks to @solkanfor the details above. My Scales of Justice is fine, but not sure about Phiona!

Its also a great excuse to use those lovely coloured bases to convert to 30mm.
