Got introduced to this game last month at a con in Bahrain, and I'm interested in jumping in. Is a Core Box the way to go? Looking at the factions, I'm torn between Swamp I'm thinking about snagging Ophelia and Titania, then I could play around with a ranged crew and a crew with no ranged. The Guild looks cool, but I don't want to play the cops.

SiKboy posted:If you pick up two crews then you can persuade people to play intro games against you without them having to have their own models, hopefully get them into it too... Also the more models other people have (and post) the better i feel about how many I've ended up with. I have a friend who is more decisive than me who has already picked up an Anya box. But I could try to recruit more folks, of course.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:https://www.goonhammer.com/category/other-games/malifaux/ I found those this morning, and they were very helpful. Ended up getting Ophelia Core and the Bayou Box. As soon as they arrive, I get to teach my friend how to assemble and paint models.

Finally got my Speed Paints set, and gave them a test run on a Gremlin. I'm not the best, or fastest, painter...but I got this guy done pretty quickly. One coat in most places, two on the pants. Had some issues with reactivation (you can especially see it where I tried to touch up the area around the eyes. I hit it with a spray varnish, and will attempt touch ups again later. Everything is speed paint over Citadel Corax White spray except the teeth (White Scar) and the belt buckle (Retributor Armour). All in all, I'm happy with it, and impressed with the paints. Going to run through the rest of Ophelia's crew today and make sure to give the paint plenty of time to dry between colors, maybe that will help with the reactivation.

Pierzak posted:I looked up their color swatch and Mushroom does look near-perfect for the purpose. Too bad it's in a spray can, if anyone knows a good airbrushed equivalent I'd love to know. You could try Husk Brown by Army Painter? Seems pretty close. https://shop.thearmypainter.com/us/aw3122p

Had my first actual game recently. My Ophelia crew vs Anya. It was a ton of fun, and I wiped the floor with them (7-1 on points; Murdered 99% of their crew). I felt kind of bad because the other person was also new, but they kind of ignored everything except their secret objectives despite me reminding them...a lot. Ophelia struck me as very strong, especially if you can keep the Young LaCroix nearby to keep arming her up. Ignoring friendly fire was great, and The Bigger They Are was a huge boon for my little swamp Gremlins. EDIT: I grabbed the Zipp box and Off The Top Rope. I've put it all together, and I now have blood feud with whoever designed the sprues for the flying bug machines. Tamiya Extra Thin helped a lot, but I was still tempted to just chuck the entire thing. Who designs a model so that a tiny grapnel tine is a separate piece?
