Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kershek" data-source="post: 1899250" data-attributes="member: 2900">WotC just posted a new War Machine web page to give people pre-made warbands they can use to play right away. It's a great way for a new player to get a feel for the game. They start with a list of 24 warbands here: <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mi/20041209a" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mi/20041209a</a> I really like this. I'm happy they are doing it and it will help new players. Personally, I have been purchasing the minis from the beginning to use in regular D&D sessions. Just recently, I'm finding the opportunity to try the actual minis game with others, so I came to this site. I don't know the ins and outs of good warband generation so I was just looking to nab a few suggestions so we could try a few games. I have purchased over $400 worth of minis since they were first introduced. I have at least one case from each set. So here comes the rant. I can only build ONE of the warbands listed out of the 24 in the War Machine collection. That would be Snig's Pets. I can't even build the Common Valor warband, which consists of all common figures. Granted, one of them has 7 of the same figure, but come on. If I have almost 500 miniatures and I'm having trouble, what does that say about other people trying to build these warbands? I understand that I could go trade minis somewhere with people I don't know. I could buy singles on Ebay and pay $10+ for some "rare" piece of plastic. I could also substitute what I don't have with other minis. That's not really the point, though. They post a nice group of sample warbands and I cannot use them, even with my substantial collection. Perhaps I'm just ranting about the randomized packs in general. I'm not sure. Don't you see a problem with this?</blockquote>
