Fancy fancy. But we can barely fit all of our standard boards onto the available table space during league night. :)

That is exactly the type of team I wouldn’t want to face in a tournament.

There is nothing to differentiate between the vamps and thralls aside from base ring colour and I’m having difficulty telling those apart from the pic with my dodgy colour vision. WWE doesn’t really have anything to do with vampire either surely they’d suit Orcs or human much better.

Wow, I never knew there were so many figures for Lego now.

Brettonians :wink: : http://kingdoms.lego.com/en-us/bios/default.aspx

Anyways - I can see using a Lego team as a one off with friends or in League play if all the coaches agree to allow it. I could also see this as a way to get people into BB quickly as a way to show them the rules and teach them the game without having to drop $100's on a team/paints/etc.

An organised lego team is no cheaper than buying a "proper" team

If you cannot stall out for an 8 turn drive to score with dwarves then you need to go and play canasta with your dad..if you can find him.

While I understand. Not one person had an issue with it, could be the venue too, but all seemed to love the idea (maybe they all lied). With the stubby bodies they were going to be Halflings, but then I thought about the whole Face vs. Heel thing from Wrestling. So I was going for a Bad Guys always looking to trick or turn Heel the good guys. So a Vamp attacking a tasty Thrall was a "Heel Turn!" enough for me to try it. My roster reflected names that sound Old World-like. All Thrall were green based and the 3 Vamps where red clearly marked.

you get high marks for creativeness and "modeling"
but since you did not paint the team yourself you cannot win best painted

Do you use it, is it practical at all?
