I am a long time GW hobbyist, but am brand spanking new to anything outside of that. I have decided to pick up Malifaux as I love the models and the broad spectrum of themes available. I am here mainly to ask for advice with crew building. I ran out and purchased a whole load of models for three crews, but I'm not sure if I have enough for a solid list, and what to buy if I don't! Anyway, I bought a Colette crew, a Ramos crew and a Zoraida crew as I liked the look of them all. I shall be running Colette as my main crew I think, as the playstyle of abusing movement and trickery appeals to me. Anyway, let me list what I have, and then if you'd be so kind as to let me know what I need next, I'd be grateful.

Colette Crew

Colette Du Bois
1x Cassandra
2x Performers
2x Mannequins
2x Coryphée
1x Coryphée Duet
3x Mechanical Doves
1x Colette, Avatar of Deception set (3 figures)

Ramos Crew

Ramos
1x Steamborg - Executioner Class
2x Steampunk Arachnid Swarms
1x Rusty Alyce
1x Soulstone Miner
1x Brass Arachnid
1x Mobile Toolkit
1x Electrical Creation

Zoraida Crew

Zoraida
1x Bad Juju - Mire Golem
3x Silurids
2x Voodoo Dolls
1x Taelor, Lady Hammerstrike
1x Lelu
1x Lilitu
1x Insidious Madness
3x Wicked Dolls

I've played 2 games of Malifaux, and I've already spent an arm and a leg on it... I guess that means I like it a lot? Anyway, do I need anything else for these crews guys?

If you're looking to play only those crews, you're pretty set, but if you want to play tournaments by Wyrd Rules, I'd recommend expanding your Arcanists, and maybe grab The Rail Crew as well (especially since you like movement and trickery -- Mei Feng's Railwalker, plus all that crew's push triggers, are a lot of fun).

Doing that would allow you the most flexibility after you've declared your faction.

Yeah, I also run a colette crew (though, exclusively since the wife plays also, and has only allowed us to each get one crew for now), and have to say yours is pretty complete. About the only other person you could put in there to complete the showgirls collection is Angelica, and she's also another great sculpt so its all good even if she never sees game time.

In the Ten Thunders there are the Oiran -- "Escorts," but they're also Showgirls and Mercenaries, so Colette can use them.
