The Strange Dude Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Like the title says I'm addicted to this game and find it hard not to buy more and more crews. Luckily this game is so much cheaper than 40k! I've spent less than I'd spend on half a 40k army and have got loads of viable and different crews and none of the looking at a huge pile of models that have to be painted in a uniform same pallete scheme. That and the layers of tactics that keep me thinking and tweaking my approach to the game and my other games as a byproduct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucklemonkey Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I concur. I have still found myself spending as much a month as I did before but it feels better to me as I get more completed. (I always bought my armies over a relatively long period of time) My enjoyment of the game system has also meant that I have started to ebay my GW stuff, allowing me plenty for new crews and a little extra to keep the missus sweet...

Hatchethead Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Totally. One standard WHFB unit worth of Malifaux models nets you three viable crews, and each individual mini is a joy to paint ... unlike the brain numbing assembly line required to struggle through twenty-five near identical spearmen/warriors/whatever. Easy on the wallet, painting doesn't feel like work, deep strategy. No complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Couldn't agree more! Except that malifaux is more expensive for me then for example Warhammer,, because I want to have all the crews! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadArcanist Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 This has generally been a nice change of pace from my normal minis experience, granted I've been only into it for what would be going on a year now, I've played play 40k otherwise. And the change of pace is going from playing Orks (who's only decision is who do I krump first) to playing Ramos and Sonnia (and who can lay the most hurt down on me). Its defiantly been a breather on my wallet, mainly because I've become so effective at what I wanna play that I only need to buy so much. Plus I figure this will be a good game to get my g/f into, I'm just waiting on her Lady J box to come in and then the fun begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadArcanist Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 You dastardly fiend :bounce: Considering ever since its started at our store, we've gotten 8 people playing the game and we still need to teach 4 more to play XD and that's just the beginning! We've caught the eye of at least 4 other people XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikimonkey Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I'm pretty sure the minis are laced with a small amount of drugs. I just can't get enough and always want more. The price and quality is just icing on the cake. I'm not sure if I should be thanking or cursing them for this. <shakes fist> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysis Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I know that i got sucked in after a 40k tourney with a simple.. "oh hey look... playing cards?" If only I had known how far the rabbit hole went. I've infected 2 others in a week with Malifaux, and it's catching faster... should someone call the CDC?

Just tell potentials that "Yeah, there's zombie hookers" and BAM you've got new players. At least ... that's how it went with me. I'm complex.

Must admit having Jack the Ripper and Zombies mixed in to one crew is pretty cool if not right out twisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 With me it was the look that had me consider adding it onto the plethora of games I play by buying the rulebook, and it was the rulebook that made me buy the models. Neat little package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chev Chelios Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Quality minis aside,the fact that you could go right to the makers and get what you need was huge for me.Also the great customer relations is a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Well I went from "this could be a cool distraction from all my warhammering" to "HOLY CRAP I GOTTA GET THEM ALL!!?!!?!". I'm up to four crews now - the only things stopping me from buying more right now (Maaarcuss...I neeeed yooouu....) is the need to get them painted and the prospect of yet more crews/models with the release of Book 2. Hell, the only reason I'm still playing 40k is an interstate tournament I've already committed to going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScotty Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I brought a few friends over to play a game with proxies and it was like "wow, these rules are pretty cool! Let's crack open this Nicodem box and see what the figures look l-ooooooooooohhhhhh......" so yeah. I now own nearly the entire resser faction and six of my friends are painting. Plus look, I could have bought one 40k tank with the money I spent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flikfutch87 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yup, my roomie and I have picked up most of the starter boxes at this point, so anytime we want we can just pick up two of the masters and have a completely new match. Kind of a good setup for a tournament, if I can get a couple more friends to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
