Halflingspy Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ah, hello all! Name's Halflingspy, and I'm about to dive headfirst into this game. I've loved wargames and tabletop since I was eleven or so, but in the decade since then, couldn't ever find anyone to play with, thanks to moving about, cost of games, no car... I'm a refugee from Warhammer, and been an Eldar player off and on for over a decade. I finally got a tabletop gaming group in the last year starting to meet regularly, and as much as I love Games Workshop sometimes, they also make me want to tear my hair out thanks to the crazy amount of cost and endless Space Marine love. I've been saying for a while that if I could find another tabletop game that I liked, any at all, I would probably jump on it as quick as I could. So, after one or two demonstration games and reading up on the fluff... While I don't have any sets as of yet, I have two about to arrive this week - Lady Justice, and Showgirls. As an Eldar player, I guess its only natural that I would gravitate towards Showgirls and Colette thanks to her manipulation and crazy ruleset, and Lady Justice is just damn nifty, not to mention a way to get my hobby group to play. If I have a second army... I'm looking forward to posting and learning a lot from the forums, I'm still way way too much a noob to the tabletop hobbies and hopefully this is a place to fix that!

Halflingspy Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks all! And for as many gripes as I have against GW and some of their design choices and other decisions over the last bit, I still do have memories that are good about the game, and I do love me some Eldar. I'll keep that army, but I do sincerely hope that my appreciation of Malifaux just gets better, and it becomes a game that I can find players for and have fun playing often - its taking off around me, so glad for that!

EricJ Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Nothing wrong with having good memories of GW, hell, I have a ton of them, and sometimes I still have an occasional urge to play or paint GW...but I'd never admit that! Welcome to Wyrd though! here's to building new good memories with this game for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
