> I was just wondering about something.... How large are your On > the other hand, I have 12 different sides painted up at this point, Unlike the others who have replied, I've gone to the one or two BIG (read hugely BIG)forces, with each of the parts of the force being separate entities. The force is based around Infantry (300 stands, Yea I know it sounds silly) but we tend to play games that have an objective that needs to be held, and vehicles can't do that. My force is comprised of Game$ Work$hop ($%#&@#!!) pieces with a healthy smattering of Renegade and Battletech Tanks. I use Imperial Guard as Militia with assorted AFVs & support vehicles, Eldar as Line troops (w/Grav AFVs) and Marines as Powered. I've been fortunate enough to acquire infantry very cheap and so has made this somewhat less expensive. The remaining vehicles (400+) are broken down into groups for tactical purposes. What this allows me to do is to field a very flexable force, with just about any point value or combination of vehicles desired, or I can split the force and simulate 3 separate armies. (They all sort of look similar in color, but maybe there is a civil war going on) If anyone wants Game$ Work$hop ($%#&@#!!) figs, check thier website for mail order info. The sometimes have great deals on blister packs as they are redoing EPIC and are disposing of old inventory where possible. Michael Brain: Pinky are you pondering what I'm pondering? Pinky: Uh..I think so Brain but, uh..Brain? where did all those cylinders graduate from? Brain: (Whacks Pinky Repeatedly)
