hard 2 kill Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 hi all i'm new to malifaux i haven't played yet but a few of the guys from my warhammer club have started playing and im hooked from watching youtube videos and reading the fluff in both the rule book and rising powers. i have the gunslingers box set along with the enslaved nephlim and Abuela on order. can any one suggest other minis to get to go with the box set to help get a good feel of the game. or has my limited understanding of the game helped me pick well???? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Two must haves 1) Enslaved Nephlim 2) Abuela Ortega They both help add some extra obey spells to your list and work thematically. After that I think the Austiger or the Exectioner are both good adds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djester Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 if anything, the executioner is good in the crew, just shot gun wedding him in, and start slashing away, he will be your best melee but his defence is low, im adding ryle to my ortega crew just to be gunning down anything that wonders to close, the only down side with him is that he cannot be brought into the family cuz he is unique but i think he can hold his own.

Gremlin Swarm Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Peacekeeper, so long as you don't mind having a big 'ol mechano-monster running around with them. It's big, fast, strong, and tough. Tends to draw attacks away from other models, and if it gets left alone, it can really go to town. (Either after objectives or smashing opposing models.)

Aarkon Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I would say you are on to a great start and the others have made some great suggestions, I started with Perdita as well, models I have picked up and used well with her include COnvict Gunslinger, he is more of the same of what the crew already has. The Austringer, great for hitting those pesky models that hide because they know how shooty your crew is. The Executioner as mentioned to add some melee protection to the crew. Lately I have been using Ryle to great affect. He can take a beating and shoots like mad. I have to a lesser extend slotted in the Judge and Samuael from time to time for Melee fun.

Dark Alleycat Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I would second and third the Austringer,being able to ignore LOS is insanely useful for a shooty army like the Ortegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bigglesworth Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Just buying any of the other guild box sets can just add numerous options the 3 main 4 ss models guild guard death marshals and stalkers can help add numbers to a spend crew.

This is the first things I did after I picked up the models I have mentioned above. I now have all 4 starters which is nice to have all that choice.

Gremlin Swarm Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Mr. Bigglesworth has a great suggestion. I had forgotten the Guild Guards. They may look a little blah next to some of the other models with big lists of fancy abilities, but getting a on damage with that gun is incredibly useful.

Benbonney Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was just looking at adding more obey in my army, only way to get more nino attacks as he is my favourite gunslinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarkon Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was just looking at adding more obey in my army, only way to get more nino attacks as he is my favourite gunslinger Well then you want Abula and the Totem for sure. If you want to push that even further I guess you could go with Hamlin if you want to push the obey idea to the extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 What about a Hunter? It is fast and seems to fit into the theme decently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
