I was curious if their will be more skirmish sets made available using any of the existing minis. I can imagine there will be skirmish sets made with new minis because I think a lot of the new designs are being based around small cohesive skirmish groups in Malifaux. I love the idea of buying a small skirmish group that is balanced and ready to play (once I've painted it of course). However, there are definitely some of the older miniatures I would like to see made available in these groups even more than the current skirmish deals.
There are the obvious faction separations which is a good start for knowing what goes where, but Nathan wrote in a different post some information that looked like it was specific skirmish groups even within the factions:
Undertaker, Mortimer and Samurai Punks
Madhatter, Sybelle and the Rotten Belles
Morgue Master, Sebastian and some gruesome dead (including Killjoy)
The Ortega Gunslingers (Guild Hunters of Neverborn)
Judge, Justice and the Death Marshals (Guild Hunters of Necros)
Sonnia, Samael and the Witchling Stalkers (Guild Hunters of Magi)
Rasputina, Ice Golem and her Frostbiters
Marcus, Sabertooth Cerebus and .... (Dr Moreau anyone?)
Ramos, Injun Joss, Steamborg Executioner Class, Arachnid Swarm, and others ..
Lilith, mature Nephilim and terrors tot Nephlim .. etc
Zulikha the Hag, Wallokh 'Big mud' and Bayou Gremlins ... etc
Pandora, Candy, Kade and other Woes to be announced (as in kids and stuff).
And others and so on and and so forth. Several will be going within the mercenary faction as well though not all the ones I haven't bothered to mentioned will be as a few of them will be joining the groups above as well. I'm still doing some playing around with them and more to the point, I can't tell ya everything.
Are these groups that aren't official yet any closer to being officially playable skirmish groups than when Nathan made the original post, and if so, what are the chances that we will see some of them becomes skirmish group sets for order? Examples: Rasputina and her group, or Panodora and her woes? Are we to expect more unreleased minis to go within these skirmish groups and that is why they aren't offered as skirmish sets yet?
I'm just trying to decide what my 2nd skirmish set is going to be to go against Seamus and his Belles. I'm not super crazy about any of the other current skirmish sets available (I like Lilith, but don't want to get her right now). I really like the idea of a Rasputina skirmish group but don't want to invest in minis that I "think" will go in her skirmish group until I know for sure.
