Hey all,
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself really, ive been lurking around the back alleys of these forums for the last few weeks and i must say that the community here seems fantastic and both very friendly and helpful.
Im a bit of a returning hobbiest as i played a lot of WHFB as a youngster but couldn't really afford it. Then i saw a couple of my friends playing Warmahordes a year or so back and i was hooked back in.
Anyway i ended up here after searching for another game to play alongside Warmahordes that should be a bit cheaper and on a smaller scale but no less fun or in depth. Thats when i came across Malifaux, i read the first two books from cover to cover and fell in love with the whole setting and backstory and how characterful all the errr... characters are. then i checked out the mini's as the aesthetics of a model are arguably more important to me than how good it is (to a point). I've gotta say that Wyrd have done a great job with the look and feel of most of its models.
Anyway so after picking up a Seamus box for myself and talking a friend into getting a crew to play against (Dreamer) i havn't looked back. I've only played 2 games so far but had a blast playing both, the stratagies and schemes system looks like an excellent way of making every game different no matter how many models you have and the fate deck system which we were both a bit dubious about to start with (being dice traditionalists) works very well.
Next ill look into picking up another crew or 2 along with expanding my Seamus box set. I really like the looks of the Rasputina and Hamelin crews although i hear that Hamelin can be a bit of a pain to play against and with, so i may wait until Wyrd hit him with the Nerf hammer.
Well enough ranting from me, just looking forward to hopefully becoming a part of your great community and also to seeing just how far down the rabbit hole actually goes!
