Last night I paused to take this shot…
In this photo there are at least two factions for two separate mini war games (Dark-Age & Infinity). 4-5 months ago was frantically trying to work on my 40k eldar force for OFCC. One army for one game – and I had more things on the workbench. I probably have of an investment here in this shot as well.
My realization? Small skirmish games – have less figures per army/side. Allowing me to invest in multiple factions per game. This allows me to teach someone else how to play these games – with no investment on the part of the new player.
With my investment I have better opportunity to “hook” new players and possibly future opponents to game with 😄.
Sure it’s obvious from the outside – but those figures all assembled on the bench really sent the message to me.

What I’m also liking of skirmish games right now is that they tend to offer a lot flexibility and really character models. Also not having to power through painting fodder trooper #29 is pretty sweet.
Yes – I really get irritated with painting masses of essentially the same troop figure lol.
