[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9050884, member: 52734"] I have strong opinions... Back in the '90s, I bought some plastic "Star Marines" from the FLGS, at about 30 marines for less than a 10-man GW squad, and made a Land Raider from a pizza box. Had some RB-01 marines and 3E starter marines to boot. However, my local group would not let me play with the "Star Marines" because they weren't "official" GW marines - yet the Pizza box raider was okay because it was a scratchbuild. A couple years ago I discovered paperhammer, and some of the entirely paper models (usually tanks or aircraft) from that blew me away, as I initially thought they were plastic models until I got to pick one up. Then there was Battlesystem, TSR's mass army system that came with 1" tokens for your forces. Should have seen the faces of the WHFB players when I pulled those out. And the original battletech boxed set I got came with standees instead of plastic/metal miniatures. Between paperhammer, standees, chits and minis I could care less what folks are using, as long as I can tell what's its supposed to be. Nobody should be priced out or ashamed of what they use to fill for figures in a game. Sure, I'll always enjoy a well-painted miniature over a scrap of paper with the model name on it, but it wouldn't be a criteria for NOT playing against someone in a game. For those interested, my Space Marine army - now a few years old The pizza box RT land raider is near the rear (3rd) on the left - the blue one on the right is an official RT land raider. The "Star Marines" are in the middle row, with the sergeant's gun pointing left (and still mostly unpainted...) [spoiler] [ATTACH type="full"]288342[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
