While you may find the assumption commonplace and pointless – well, there was a time in my gaming experience when it was not.  I’m pretty sure many of you have had that feeling more than once.

I have bought figures to simply represent a game effect or be part of some mathematical exercise inherent in the rules.  I have bought figures, duplicates of figures I already have, simply to win games. Because, you know, if I don’t have enough lascannons and plasma launchers, how am I going to get rid of the big bugs?

It sounds like a game-oholic statement and it definitely sucks. Yet, this is what many game rule sets induce.

Miniature gaming is about miniatures.  It’s about the miniatures you buy because they look plain cool, because they make you laugh, or they have that unexplainable something about them that makes you rejoice like a boy in front of the Christmas tree.

That’s one of the reasons why I fell in love with the WarEngine: minis come first, and then not only do you decide of their profile, but thanks to the flexible and balanced point system you get a good gaming experience out of them.

The experience you will like, because you created it.
