Due to bad planing on my part I began looking at infinity again and found my favorite minis (Ariadna dog soldiers) have been re sculpted in a way I don't like but a group I initially found meh have been re sculpted as raging monkey men I love the look of. Unfortinateley I once again only want to play a sectoral and 1 or 2 other models from the faction. I've been told sectorals aren't a good idea until I understand the game and close combat is a waste but this is from my power gaming friend so I'm not sure how much stock to put in it.

The question I have is are the Morats other than their engineers a reasonable start? I currently play Malifaux and have played Warmahordes in the past. Also what should I get or definitely avoid when starting with them? I'm thinking the sectoral starter and Daturazi witch soldiers (who look bada$$) or the vanguard infantry box (wich looks like it has a pile of special weapons).

I figure I should probably read the quick start rules and generic beginner articles but if starting with Morats is completely bug nething futs I'll save some time and just make them a painting project once I can actually afford them.

Having been doing Morats myself recently I'd say I found them to be weak in ITS vs my other faction, Military Orders. They have a tendency where they've got some powerful models, and then their Specialists, and very very few models who are both. Left me struggling to try and babysit those Specialists to the objectives with the stronger models in an elite faction that tends to have less orders of begin with. If you're not using ITS or another system that needs the Specialists they're probably a lot better, but maybe not because of their lack of Camo and few Visors. Rasyats are The Shiz. But yes, the new Morat sculpts are awesome, though repetitive.
