Hi!
I think thats a great idea!
I can throw out some to get the ball rolling. As far as teh pics and stuff,
go for it! One of my long term goals is to make a picture library on the net
with ALL epics figs represented as well as updated versions of the army
cards.
Battle reports are always a plus. On the epicentre we have quite a few of
them listed and we welcome more.
