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)
