Disturbia - which factions to choose?
« on: April 26, 2007, 10:17:13 PM »
I've been stalling lately on the painting front, and I've decided the cure will be to take up a small, limited project once for a change, instead of the usual "must collect everything" approach. Disturbia looks like the perfect choice. The range is nicely "limited" so it's easy to just collect a couple of small factions without going overboard, and 40mm will be an interesting experience. But most of all, I love the style and I've been wanting to take this game up for a long time.

But here's the problem - I love all of the factions. Distorted pseudo-nazis, an evil circus, twisted toy-makers, voodoo witches with their zombies, grim hunters of evil, and torturers with their gibbering works of "living art". It's all good. Which two should I pick? The Outlanders seem natural for the sake of having some good guys in there, and I love the idea of having them fend of hordes of evil, living toys. But that would leave out stuff like the Ju-Ju Men and Gibberers.

Gaaah! Help me decide!

I agree with Lowtardog, it's what I plan to do.

Jim Bowen's own favourite is the Torture Garden - and I believe there is more coming this weekend. For me though my first choice would be a Bogeyman with a following of Toys
(the most inexpensive as well). Second choice being the Circus - I like painting bright colours!.

Speaking of which; isn't there an easier way to order them than from the Monoloth webpage? I have forgotten how write on paper and put a stamp on letters. And money orders and postal checks is like Yiddisch to me. ;-)

Lowtardog and Matakishi: Thanks for helping me "limit" the project. Aren't you afraid some other drug peddlers are going to take over your street corners while you're away posting on internet forums like that? :wink:

Having looked at the Disturbia rules a bit, there don't seem to be any specific faction lists so I might just go ahead and collect a mish-mash. I've decided I definitely want to go with Evil Toys for a start. Those, a Bogeyman (gotta love "The Cutter!") and a couple of Outlanders will be my first buy, I think.

I'm still desperate for the charging Rampager and maybe some Drudges for my 1999 collection. Just never seem to have gotten around to getting them. Please post a review when your stuff comes in.

I just received the Golem pack today. Some much needed muscle for my cyber-Jews!

Very nice looking figures.

paypal


I have been wanting to order also... but I want alot of figures and having to write all the numbers on paper and then mailing a check or money order overseas has me stalling too... the Monolith site doesn't accept paypal and they have no shopping cart feature at all which is really too bad! :(
Not too bad for a small order but a nightmare if you want to place a large order.

I had horrible experience ordering from them. First I pay them according to their rules, then after a while they return my payment. My emails dont get response, then after about 5 months I have given up all hope, and then one evening strange package arrives, inside of it being my order.


I did get free figures though, but still just my kind of luck,

Odd. I've always had good experiences with them myself. I just copy the wanted codes from the webpage, put them in an e-mail and then Steve sends me a paypal invoice. No hassle and on more than one occasion got free stuff to boot.
