I chose A. (*Dodges paper wads) Although I enjoy the work of others, I'm a little too protective of my own figs or pieces and would only do something that I could reverse. Stickers/decals are easy to do, cheap to produce, and you can find them all over the place. Thanks to Sava and his instructions its been a lot easier to be lazy about decals. :wink:

I'm choosing B right now. I'm thinking about using decals (too many useless city torsos and heads), but not sure yet. So, until now, I would customize only the broken pieces.

Without stickers, my army would not be. I can have my favorite bodies and not have to spend an insane amount trying to get the real things. It's especially good for oldies bodies!

Hey! why am I a peasant? Last time I checked, I was a villein! *e-mail mod*

Villeins are lower than peasants, it's not "Villain".
According to The Concise Oxford Dictionary, the definition of Villein is: n. (hist.) Feudal serf, tenant entirely subject to lord or attached to manor.

ALL OUT CUSTOMIZATION!!
Well i still am a lil antsy when i bring a xacto knife up to my stuff :P ....mainly my customs have been on broken peices or changing pieces i dont like so i like them. I use other materials to customize. and stickers of course. i have used the erasor technique, and i can tell you with a little time and handcramping it works perfectly, and you cant even tell there was a change! i alwaso *very carefully* sometimes use xacto knife on the faces.
*gotta make my sig smaller...*

I want to maintain the unified look in my army. I have alot of bullets and flared and swords and spears and want to make it look rather like a Saxon force.

But for my heroes, I would like a special sword and maybe a special helmet.

Same goes for me! I can't cut up Legos. I did once to make a sweet Uzi or Mac10 from a 'chainsaw' base. But I don't do that any more. However I do use broken pieces if I can find a use for them.
