Faust23:
I'm interested in your feedback as I put the finishing touches on Epic Heroes: Skirmish Gaming in the Realms of Fantasy. 

Mister Rab:
For me, it depends. If it's a dozen figures, I'd want to make my own warband - sort of like an adventuring party in an RPG. If it's forty figures, I'd rather have an outline list.

eilif:
I choose "without a list" but from prebuilt stats.  That allows you to build either a thematic warband or a classic mixed party.

However, when looking at a skirmish game, the more important factor for me is that the game has to have a good unit creation mechanic.  Prestatted units are essential for being able to pick up the game fast, but I can't stand being limited to only the units that an author chooses to include in the book.

Quoted for truthness and correctitude!

Brink of Battle is the core rules mechanic for Epic Heroes. It's a 3-20 models per player range.  Elites run 3-10, Standard Forces are 5-15, and a Horde force is 7-20 models.  It is encouraged that you build your force with some individuality, but its not necessarily required that you do.
