Re: Introduce yourself!
I haven't really decided, the obstacle i am currently facing is the best way to make the wide and varied mini-fig collection i have look like a more an organized, uniformed fighting force. I am predicting i will need to drop some $$$ on some more mini-figs (exciting to me, only because i haven't bought LEGOs since i was like... too long ago!) but i am thinking i will try to expand on the REPCONN force the best i can and find some way to make either an opposing force or do something with my medieval/pirate fig types an make an army there. I will post some things i have already done and look for suggestions. I think i have a streak for making Size 2 Robots.

Re: Introduce yourself!
If you can find one or two predominant colors in your current fig collection, you can run with that and simply have each torso style be a different section of your army. Or, many people on the boards have a few smaller armies when their collections don't have sufficient uniformity to unite their whole collection into a single force. Simply divide your minis into groups based on color or style or whatever and then come up with names for them and have them hate each other.Wafflefanny wrote:I haven't really decided, the obstacle i am currently facing is the best way to make the wide and varied mini-fig collection i have look like a more an organized, uniformed fighting force.

I think there are even examples of people successfully unifying disparate torso/minifig color schemes into a single faction by color-coding sub-units. Militia could be white, while the army is blue and vehicle crews are green, spacers are red, and marines are black. Or whatever fits your supplies and imagination. For that matter, a rag-tag, disparate force could have a certain unity and cohesiveness in its very lack of uniformity.

Re: Introduce yourself!
Sound Advice! I will mix and match and try to come up with something. Thanks! I'll probably post it later this week (i hope)

Re: Introduce yourself!
Pirates of all genres, uprising civilian armies, and all kinds of unconventional guerilla fighters lack uniforms, so why not your figs?
combining accessories from two or three non-matching themes also brings pretty good uniformity. Space Knights, Submarine Pirates, whatever.

I like to get to get an idea of the social norms before making an inevitable idiot of my self anyway.
I don't know why i lurked for a whole year, I must say this seems to be my "home" on the internet. As much as i spend time on other sites i always end up coming back a couple of times a year to check up on what's going on and such.

I am currently presiding in an undisclosed location waiting in the shadows for such an oppurtunity as to engage in Brikwars with a fellow insanitist... I am also addicted to Soviet induced communism... or comunist induced sovietism... I cease to remember... Any way... I am here
Ah, these diplomats! What chatterboxes! There's only one way to shut them up - cut them down with machine guns. Bulganin, go and get me one!

* - Who are you?
- Since you are not getting my real name, you can call me DeltaV. Dunno how or why I came up with that, but I always use that name when I make an account for something.
* - Do you live with your mom? (Trust me, this is important)
- Yep, not old enough to go yet.
* - Where do you come from?
- From the briny depths of the Netherlands. It isn't too rainy at the moment, me gusta.
* - What is your quest?
Well...my main quest is to become video game creative designing edjit. Blehgh. Actually, I have even been toying around with a game concept for a while.
Side quest is to play Brikwars for the first time. Lack of minifigs/bricks that I haven't chewed on in my childhood makes it difficult though. Sometimes, the lego bricks just fit too well Though I do have made a rather ossum weapon, I'll post it in the armory later.
