As far as diversity goes, lets think this through. Eric's point is well taken that in order to have a decent size army you'd want to have at least 20 torsos/shields of each design. However, my point of view, is that for me to get on board...and (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yes, but the first one produced has to be specific to Castle, as the shields involved is only really applicable in Castle. Then, we can make a generic die for cutting out just torsos and possibly signs for use with all other themes. Jimmy (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.space)
