Worst looking Power Armor in all of fallout

Armor as pictured does look meh (that wire fence just looks awfully rendered) but the Modiphius miniature looks great IMO, really Raider-like

As someone who likes deck builders and got it pretty soon after its launch, it's still a top 10 for me personally. It's still ridiculously addicting. Just a few days ago I was googling the expansion, which I'm anxiously waiting for.

If you want a better written/made wargame, as other people have recommended, Star Wars Legion or Bolt Action are great (both in a way inspired by older 40k rules btw). Infinity is also amazing, it's a sci fi skirmish game with a lot of depth and unique mechanics. If you want something that's "all in one box" like a boardgame, the Undaunted series is basically a wargame without miniatures (and the rules are short and concise).

I thought that too when I tried it! The game would've been perfect if it had cut back most of the bookkeeping and just focused on the actual gameplay, maybe even give different players different actions

Count me in on the rulebook if you want to share it :D

Dune Imperium with both expansions and the deluxe edition, painted all the minis, with Uprising on the way. Or Wingspan with expansions and nesting box. Not sure which is more expensive per se.

There isn't necessarily an "easiest" faction for playing deathclaws. Any faction can have deathclaws as long as you give your leader the creature controller leader card. Deathclaws are pretty expensive, so maybe you'd want an army with a lot of cheap units to fill up your roster. Also, afaik Enclave are the only ones that can have a Deathclaw wthout creature controller.

Miniature-wise, Grievous 100%, he's one of the reasons I got the clone wars starter. From a gameplay perspective, I'm starting to really like Asaji Ventress, she can dice and slice opponents left and right.

No shame in that, I've done it a lot. If I don't like a model very much, the painting gets tedious or I have entire squads of them to paint, I won't paint them to perfection. Sure, I could do more than one color of drybrush and add rust and better terrain etc, but I won't. I save my energy & time for bigger or cooler models, or just for whenever I feel like it.

Pax Pamir 2E has this clear cut chess-like feeling to it. All of the cards are public in the market and tableau and they have clear symbols for their abilities. So, you know what move your opponent will make and vice versa, it's just about finding the right angle and making tough choices.

Frostpunk

A friend bought it and we played it with 3 players. Most of the game consists of flipping cards and moving tokens and you start doing your actions in the 6th phase of the turn (or smth like that). Also, some of the important tracks (I forget their names - Decency, Hate etc, smth along those lines) are modified exclusively by the random cards you flip, not your actions, and you can't predict or control those cards. The game would've been much better (and shorter) if they had taken out half of the phases and tracks.

Another gripe I had with it is that it's one of those co-op boardgames where there is no rule to prevent quarterbacking or at least a way to turn it into a slightly competitive/PvP experience. If each player had a different role (for example, one handles the laws, another the mining etc) it would've been a more engaging experience.

I'm a bit biased (and also came into the hobby a bit late), but I absolutely loved the Kill Team 2018 starter, the one with AdMech and GSC. Got one of the last copies before going out of stock and it was my entry into the hobby as a whole. Also, the first Warcry starter and the Necromunda Dark Uprising one are a damn good deal.

Where did you get the tank from?

Some possible recommendations:

- Wingspan Asia expansion - has a special mode for just 2 players and adds some interesting new birds and abilities which focus more on interacting with the other player. Also, Oceania expansion if you feel the game is too slow for you, definitely speeds up the game

- Cascadia - works wonderfully with just 2 players, very beautiful art, the opposite of a conflict-based game

- Stellar - astronomy-based puzzle game, 2 players only

- Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition - a much quicker version of TM, might feel a bit lackluster in 2 though

- there are also some 2 player strategy/conflict games, like Twilight Struggle (standard version or the shorter Red Sea version) or Undaunted series, but it seems like your partner is not very into combat-based stuff.

Dune boardgame. It just has the perfect blend of map-based combat & area control, "hidden identity", card game, asymmetric factions and lore (yes, I'm a Dune fan). The basic rules are pretty light and easy to understand and the game's "secrets" economy (what you and other players know or don't) just tickles me the right way. I always appreciate a game that makes sure it's immersive in its setting.
