Default Re: Minis Set 3+ Wish List

One thing to keep in mind is who the intended audience is. So far, the marketing of these minis has been to everyone, but note that there has been a consistent statement to the effect that "now you can turn your ODE into a miniatures game".

Folks who are buying minis to pimp out their ODE or 6E, are possibly not the same who are buying minis to use them in games on terrain, though there is a fair bit of overlap. In that regard, buildings, jam screens, strategic objectives, as minis, might be popular with one group, and not with the other. As an example, a reactor sized to fit on an ODE hex would look absolutely silly on terrain, and a reactor that looks good on terrain (something actually worth attacking) would look extremely out of place on an ODE map.

In the end, I've got to trust that SJG knows what they are doing -- but it is really nice that they are asking us for opinions as well.
