Gimzig Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Welp, Hi. Names Jason ( or Gimzig on the forums) and im the proud owner of 1 of every faction box sets once the mail arrives:P I got kinda carried away and couldnt choose a faction or master i REALLY wanted to play or one that i knew fit my style. SO, i picked 1 box set of each faction and purchased it So heres the list. Arcanists: Rasputina Guild: Lady Justice Ressurectionists: Seamus Neverborn: The Dreamer Outcasts: Ophelia Soooooo.... howd i do? how do each of these play out? In Warhammer i play lizardmen, in Warmachine im a protectorate/ merc and hordes im Trollbloods/ Minions. Anything kinda play similiar, or am i doing malifaux a dis-service by even compareing its factions to other games. Cant wait to play my first game ( once my starting faction is painted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veskit Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi there, I'm the local henchman. If you're looking for a game you should come over to the local forum http://www.wcp-vancouver.com there is a forum there and there is a few of us and we're growing quite quickly.

fortythree Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hai! :wavey: I'm a little south, in Bellingham, but welcome! Veskit has a good bunch up there. As far as playing, that's a nice haul. I mean horrible, you should give it all to me and start over. I would reccomend starting out playing Lady J, because she is the most straightforward of those masters and will allow you to better learn the game vs having to learn the game and a complex crew. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Nice choices! And for the record, I don't think we understand "bought too much" around here Welcome to the game and the forums, looks like you already have a group nearby to get you going and people to play against, which is always nice!

Doctor Amos Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 No, yeah, that was too much. Start with the Neverborne last would be my advice. They're physically allergic to playing "normal." Outcasts, too, for the most part, although Ophillia's better than most. Get a game or two under your belt and try and work into a 'groove.' It's a great system with... a few oddball teams. Standard run-and-gun or run-and-stab is probably best to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimzig Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 see, now i want to try Dreamer first just to immerse myself in malifaux madness and see if it sticks Yeah im glad theres some gamers down in van. Im still hopeing a place closer to abbotsford opens up as the treks into Van are sooooooooo long and essentially turn into day trips.

Xango Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi Gimzig, for me (and probably a crazy idea) is easier to compare playstyles of malifaux masters with magic the gathering more than a tabletop game, so if you know magic... Raspy is a little defensive/offensive blue deck Lady j = stompy green Seamus... do not know him sorry! but most rezzers are white/black/green token makers Dreamer... pure black deck awesomeness with lots of dark rituals Ophelia is great... probably a lightning bolt red/goblins hope this helps. cheers!

Gimzig Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 of course i played magic! however... i was an odd duck with it. See my undefeated tourny deck was a Green Elf deck, devoted entirly to 1/1 elfs and summoned 1/1 creatures that on an unsuspecting turn, id use 3 overruns and crush somebody, and if i was dying, meh, i had a wellwisher, 1 life for every elf i had. (which was a lot) XD so essentialy i had a green token deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchethead Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Oh hell yes, a fellow canuck! I'm but a jaunty 8 hour drive to your north, rocking Malifaux from the fetid armpit of northern BC, lovely Prince George. Good to see another Canadjun on the boards. As you can see by my sig, enough is never enough with Malifaux. More is always better, and not just from a pleasure center shudder/MOAR! street drug-ish next fix kinda standpoint. It's actually tactically sound to own several viable crews. More crews means more versatility, and that's never a bad thing. My Dreamer is still boxed up, mewling for release. Soon, my pretty. Soon.

Hatchethead Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Believe that. Just ask the gigantic Empire and Chaos Warrior armies on the shelf behind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Amos Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Seamus is a very forgiving master. He also plays well with a wide assortment of models, taking full advantage of whatever mercenaries or random dead, semi-dead, undead, or spiritual critters you want to bolster him with.
