New to Mini's games and Malifaux

[calgary_cat]

I'm an old hand at euro and ameritrash board games, but the closest thing to a miniature game that my friends have played is descent. We all just jumped ship from CCGs to Malifaux and I ended up with 4-ish crews (go big or go home I figure):

Colette's boxed set + Doves
Viktorias + Ronin blister, Taelor, Misaki, and von Schill
Seamus Box + Hanged
McMourning Box + Bete Noire
I've really only tested out Colette and had fun jumping about although I think I'd like a bit more killing in my crew... Right now I'm painting up Seamus and figuring out how to play him against the crews my buddies bought:

Hoffman
The Dreamer
Lillith
Perdita
Lady Justice
Rasputina
Kirai
In any case, I'm really enjoying the minis and the 2 pseudo games that I played were fun too - looking forward to setting up campaign style games once we get the rules down a bit better.

Cheers from Calgary

There's quite a bit of killy in a Collete crew..........magician's duel is great...Cassandra.... and if you add in the Coryphee Duet - wow that thing is uber-killy.

Viktorias are very killy and McMourning can be pretty sick as well.

Seamus is probably the least killy....he is more of a control / denial type of crew.

You can head over to the specific faction discussion parts of the boards for advice on specific masters/crews and there is some really great info to be found on the Wiki:

Welcome to Malifaux.

I figured that would be the case with him - but his minis are my faves so I'll just have to learn to like the play style ;)

I just remembered..........Seamus' Avatar is super killy!

That is my next purchase, I do believe =)

Plus Bete, and the Hanged (which are both nice minions to run with him) are quite killy too.
