Ooh, I like this idea. I've added my location, but it doesn't seem to show anything. Perhaps it just needs a bit of time to update?

I have to manually refresh the map. I'm going to do it every day or so.
Just Updated.

I feel so lonely on my own over in the United Kingdom, Cambridge being what im nearest... Pfft, as far as I can tell there's only one other player left in my whole country, and he works weekends so we haven't met up in like 6 months. I don't actually "play" Warmachine anymore, I just read about other people doing it. |

Cause thats what I've been doing. |

Cause thats what I've been doing. So far I've only managed to get one person into the game, but he moved back to Sweden. I've been planning to try to get my friends into smaller-scale games with more "brand appeal" - specifically the Batman miniatures game - and then transition into larger games like Warmachine, but that's been a little bit of a wash. Turns out Batman is actually not the newbie-friendly game I assumed it would be (and it has a lot of rules I just don't like), so I picked up a bunch of Marvel models since the Marvel game looks much easier to get into, but Knight Models just stopped carrying Marvel. Right now I'm just too busy to try anymore. Instead I'm focusing (what little free time I managed to find) on converting and painting models, and hoping to find more gamers in the future. Actually there's a certain sense of freedom to that; no longer do I have to buy and assemble models that I don't actually like just because I need them for the game... |

but Knight Models just stopped carrying Marvel. To this end, if you are interested in getting people to play that game, I suggest re-basing Heroclix models to represent the minis, cheaper, and from what I understand there's a vibrant fan community, mostly on facebook, that has been doing work on implementing more chars for the game. Though that's one of those if your interested in playing it things I guess.  |

Though that's one of those if your interested in playing it things I guess. Heroclix models look pretty crappy to me. I don't know how well they would look if repainted by a skilled artist, but as they are I find them painful to look at. Although I have had good results repainting the Haloclix stuff:  Well, there's still the DC stuff... for now... |

Yeah, I can agree there not always great, but some of Wizkids sculpts are really nice and require just a lick of paint to take from "meh" to "amazing". I was talking to one of the shop owners in Portsmoth who does exactly this and I must say, thanks to his skilled hand and an eye for which sculpts looked good, he had built up a good collection of the DC side of the game for his teams. |

Does he have photos up somewhere? I'd be interested to see what he was able to do with them. And apologies for dragging the thread so far off topic. |
