WolfDayDream Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I might possibly hopefully get some Malifaux figurines soon and I wanted to know some things. 1: Do I have to build all figures I buy or just the really big ones like Chompy Bits? 2: Um do I have to buy a rule book? On Average how much would it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Most of the older models are all in one piece with the occasional arm or tiny bit needs assembly. New models (from the fourth book) all are out of plastic and need assembly. So the answer to your first question would be yes and no. Haha. It isn't too bad though. You can download the rulebook for free from the Malifaux website. I would recommend picking up the improved version of the first rulebook though (1.5). Alternatively you can buy the complete version of the downloadable rulebook for about 15$, which isn't really expensive. Generally I would recommend picking up every book though, as every model is listed in there as well. Stats, abilities, spells, etc... Great to see what all this game has to offer. Not to mention fluff. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDayDream Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I certainly enjoy fluff(that is just for fun stuff right like plot and stuff?) And I only have 50$ cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Yeah, fluff is basically filler content to add to the rules and models of the game. It is a pretty fun story, but not necessary to play. If you are on such a tight budget, I would recommend picking up a crew box. I would start with either one of these masters, as the box they come with is decently playable with the models contained in it. Ophelia, Victorias, Von Schill, Seamus, Lilith, Ortega, Lady Justice and Rasputina. Pandora would work as well, but she is complicated to play. That is about 35$ out of your 50. With the rest of the money you can buy a clam shell model to work with your models and a fate deck (the latter you NEED). Download the rules at first and when you have more money just pick up models to fill in your crew and maybe a book or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Would like to point out that instead of a Fate deck (esp on a tight budget as that) you can use a common playing deck (w Jokers in) and just remember: Hearts=Rams, Spades=Crows, Diamonds=Masks and Clubs=Tomes. Very hard to play Malifaux on $50 alone, unless you already have hobby supplies. But if you have more money coming in the future, it's enough to buy your initial crew and get a good start!

WolfDayDream Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I was planning on getting Collette and I plan to get more money however regardless of money its kinda hard to buy figurines as every store in my state that sells them is 2 hours away...

Evilbleachman Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 If you do go for Collette, you will want to pick up her mechanical doves and maybe some coryphee blisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDayDream Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Do I really have to? When I get two sets and paint the things and all that(I'd need lots of help lol is a newbie to wargames) I'd just play with my dad who is a bit slow but I might try and play with other gamers down the road.

Evilbleachman Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 It would help round out playing with her crew. You do not HAVE to buy it. I would just recommend it. Which other crew would you get for your dad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
