Leave a thread alone and all the mayhem begins. As we know from the life lesson ‘Fight Club’ gave us “Stuffing feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken”. Here I think minis could be added to the list for warlords.

As far as an advertisement for things more along the lines of your German “dungeon crawls” @sundancer this was not meant to start yout reminiscing on your days as a bouncer.

In making the decision on figures and aesthetics I considered the idea of what we see as important. Do we play with bedraggled weary looking armies (undead not included) or do we seek out a motif/theme to them? Is there a narrative in our force composition?

I find that there is easy assembly to make an army in units for well known big army battles with eatablished factions. The freedom to write up headcanon (not refering to a portion of the original Deus Ex game) is fun and might be where the player/collector/hobbyist shines a little light on their personality. Could this be another aspect of how we might ‘game in the gaps’?
