Mr. Bigglesworth Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Ramos currently love the spiders fun to base and paint. Lady js boxset is also a blast to paint I love her original sculpt and the marshals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Big Baws Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Mine is Hoffman but that is based mostly on his Fiction background. I like his story with Ryle and that he is handicapped. The whole handicap man with extreme Contruct control is too cool for me to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons_lair04 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 My favorites are Lilith and Seamus. I really like the demonic nature of the Lilith crew and what more can I say about Seamus but undead hookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chev Chelios Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I've got a soft spot for Seamus. Wait,that didn't sound right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borzag Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 3-way tie between Somer, Ophelia & Nicodem. The first two is easy... Hello, my name is Borzag and i'm a Goblinholic I love the little evil green buggers. Back in the day I had a full army of Warhams wolf riders, and a converted undead greenskin army. Now it's just a Goblin BB team, a Necromantic BB team converted from Goblins, a Rebel Grot Gorka gang, some random Goblin minis for use here & there, and my main in WoW is a Goblin Hunter. It's a thing with me. Anyway, I saw the Bayou Gremlins a few years ago and fell off my chair laughing I absolutely loved the whole redneck aesthetic, which fitted Wyrd's little green buggers to a tee. So when Mali came out I grabbed those off the bat. Ditto with Ophelia. Nicodem on the other hand... to me, his box set is everything that IS Malifaux. Magic, tech, victorian horror with a dash of the exotic... colour me interested. Combined with the fact that he's easier to get working than Somer had me sold. Plus Mortimer is hilarious. Cheers!

disturbed Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 all very cool ive honestly considered almost every crew posted so far. And please keep them comeing i love hearing everyones opinions on the differnt crews. :3 and well I have ramos, lady j ,and von schill and I loved painting all of them and gamewise i just cant get over how fun ramos is to play. Ive been useing lady j and ramos to run intro games for the last month or so and have been even considering sighing up as a henchman. I figure at the very least it might get a few more people at my local shop to get really pumped about my upcomeing tournament/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz the cat Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 In general the whole range is very cool. So what it comes down too for me is what I have thats painted best. And its kind of mishmashed atm. My seamus, and aSeamus came out beautifully But that the same time... my canine remains are probably my best painted mini's... and theres lots of them... ... probably my seamus crew, the night terrors have a nice ghostly blue paintscheme which turned out nicely too. oh...and my convict gunslinger i jsut finished is pretty spiffy too and he fits nicely with my seamus crew.

Absolution Black Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 There is a four way tie in my heart for the following crews: Lady Justice: Just love the models, the ideas behind them and can't wait for the exorcists next month. The death marshals are some really sweet models, and the whole crew seem dynamic. Seamus: Gotta love the madman and his belles. Wasn't a fan at first, but having seen the avatar seamus and the belles up close...I was swayed! Colette: well, who wouldn't want to paint some showgirls?! The opportunity to step away from the gritty world of Malifaux and paint something a bit brighter is what swayed me...and the models are superb! The Dreamer: He has his critics but you have to admit the range of models he can use are some of the sweetest sculpts Wyrd have done...plus the whole nightmare thingy has me hooked...plenty of ideas for paintschemes for this crew!

Huang Da Wei Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I started by buying Ophelia and her crew so that was my first attraction (maybe wrong phrase) but as I am more of a painter than a player it has to be Colette and the showgirls, great models.

AdrianMills Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Tough Call for me I currently own all Neverborn and Ressers Masters and just started playing with Levi. But I have to say the one I enjoying playing with the most Is Mrs Z and her dolls (Honestly she did't make me say that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 My favorite crew? Well, I had the most fun painting the Viks. They're all so unique. Thematically, Raspy's crew is my favorite. Playstyle-wise, I have a weak spot for Sonnia and her Witch Hunters. Even more so, now that I have aSonnia waiting to be painted. I think that once Leveticus' avatar is released (and I pick up the Four Horsemen), he'll jump up to the favorite in both the painting and theme categories.

A.D Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I LOVE Ramos! The models are rad and basing them is sooooooo fun (but fiddly also) + the background is awesome! a.d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked Grin Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Even though I'm still painting my first crews (the ones in my sig) my favorite by far is Seamus although I had to re-paint him ones due to a varnishing accident. That same accident has me on average painting every RedChapel Gang member twice, never try to use the last little bit of varnish out of a spraycan. I also like McMourning a lot but seeing the miniature in person was a little disappointing as he's so small compared to Seamus and Nicodem.

gregdorf Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Each factions has a crew that I like, but my two favorite for theme and how they play are McM and Levi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadaka Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Levi. Its funny as i have a love hate relationship with him. Love playing him hate how many bad matchups make for a bad game exp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaehl Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Som'er Teeth Jones is easily a favorite of mine, well and I love Hamelin, well Damn I like Lilith a hell of a lot too. I really love each of em. Soooo good sooo swarmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannonFodder Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I like the following list because they are fast, and you can pull out a default list and not have to tweak for different objectives. Ophelia, Collette, Collodi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megnc86 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I am known for picking up new minis before the paint dries on my old ones. I have been playing and painting Kirai the most. I love her swirling spirits and summoning style. It keeps my opponents on their toes. Even when there are only a handful of seishin on the board my friends know the destruction she can summon! Also, being summon heavy lets me alter her style quickly. Do I want Gaki to eat some H1s, Onryo to munch some low WP minions, Shikome to just wail on something? My typical small point game (25) is Kirai w/ 4-5 Seishin, 2 Night Terrors and Datsuba. I am planning to add in a Desperate Merc next time. I also have in various stages of built/painted: Lady J, Ramos, Rasputina, Collette, Lilith, the Vikis and von Schill. With plans to get Criid, Zoraida and Collodi! Give me a year and I’ll probably have them all 0_0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebonstar Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 :colette. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I play Ramos because I love the steampunkness of the models. Steamborg is just so cool. Electrical creations are really funny looking, and the Brass Arachnid looks like my granny's old boiler. Just love them! And I love the fact that Ramos is a Union guy... Fluff-wise, it's a tie between Seamus (dead hookers, right?) and Von Schill (I love the way he flipped off the Governor ).. As far as the models in those crews are concerned, I give a little advantage to Seamus (dead hookers, again..). And there is the quote (that most of us have got hooked with): In Malifaux, there's no problem you can't solve without sending a few dead hookers at it.

Henry Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I would have to say Seamus for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 It seems like everyone likes seamus but I dunno he just doesnt do it for me. :/ I like him but im not a fan of his crew so mutch. It just seems like a few to many things going on there. But I love the new stuff that he got with the new book! So he is looking better :3 Does anyone have any thoughts on getting a new crew just to use there avatar? I have had my on sonnia since I saw hers!

Whats your favorite crew? What time is it? No, seriously, I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. I started with Rasputina, quickly picked up Ophelia, followed her with Collodi, Ramos, Marcus, Zoraida, Kaeris and Molly. Now I've got my eye on Seamus, Pandora, Somer, Colette, Sonnia and Lady J. I think Raspy will still be my favorite, but she has a hard time getting playtime with all the other masters/henchmen I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
