I've played some of the miniature games at a buddies house, but the cost always turned me off... everything seems so expensive for what you're getting. However, my boys have suggested an alternative. My youngest(8) has been collecting Megablox Dragon sets for a year or two, and now has quite a lot (10 dragons, 100 warriors (orc'ish kindof guys and knights) or so, and a ton of scenery... ships, castles, siege equipment, etc...
They've been bugging me to put together a game using his sets. I was thinking of starting with a standard miniatures rulebook and simplifying for the kids. Another idea was to have each figure represent a ccg character (we've got a LOT of cards... Warlord mostly, some Yu-Gi-Oh, some Magic) and adapt CCG rules to a tabletop environment.
I'm not sure which way to go yet, but it should be a fun exercise in time wasting [img]smile.gif[/img] .
