Babylon 5 Pocket Models instead of counters?

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Would it be feasible to do Babylon 5 ship like the Star Wars pocket models that Wizkids makes?

In my opionion this would at least still give the feeling of 3d miniatures even though they would be plastic or thick cardstock.

What do you guys think?

Not familiar with those, but 3D is definitely better! In fact I'm making some :lol:

Yep they'd be perfect, see my "alternative to minis" thread

That's what made me think of it, kudos to you Burger.

How about models? Say made of pewter in all different scales - paintable! Whataya think?

Wizkids is already suing WotC as to the validity of WotC's patent on card models(those look like card models). I asked Matt about card models and he said he is not ready to jump into that lawsuit.

How about a scale that doesn't involve a ship costing $60? I liked the fleet action scale.

Ok Burger it's up to you then.

Anyone else have an opinion.

I am 100% for the pocket models, not only will it encourage people to play.... (gasp) it will be cheap...... (BOM.... Bom.....bom)

Yup, I definetly favor non collectable pocket models if legally feasable (sell them in racial packs for $10-$20 ea and weve got a game

Failing that Id prefer 3d ship boxes to flat counters
