"Do you honor your Alma Mater..." Topic

… with your minis?

Grade school, Secondary, Prep school, Trade school, College … whatever … Do you use those colors or insignia on your minis?

I have several sets of space marines in various school colors for members of my family. I also have a sci-fi sports team in my college colors and another in our rival's colors. Several of my modern civilians wear college insignia, though not always my alma mater; I often go for something that is easy to paint.

I have a hobgoblin standard bearer carrying a University of Texas orange "UT" standard and with his shield painted in orange and white with the slogan, "Money Talks," which I believe sums up the attitude of my alma mater succinctly.

I am not a happy alumni, obviously.

My human Blood Bowl team were painted as Nittany Lions. Including the Ogre.

Both of mine can go pound sand for all I care.

Not Vandy, yet, though it's an idea.
I have done a Warmaster Dwarf Thunderers unit as my NFL team (Tennessee Titans).

No.

Hmmm – kind of

For some of my alma matter, I have to agree with Dynaman

For where I got my first degree, though, I do have a medieval army in proud green and white (University of Saskatchewan) – halberdiers, spearmen, handgunners, knights and a general

I painted a human Blood Bowl team for my husband in his high school colors(Yellow and Navy).

Came out nice.

My Eureka Polar Bear infantry carry Bowdoin colors in honor of a friend.
For myself, I've got a few knights with an IU logo. Kansas State and I weren't that close. And the National Military Joint Intelligence College didn't even have a team.

Nope. I have a few knights in red and white livery, which I suppose could stand for the University of Maryland but I certainly didn't intend that. As far as my high school is concerned, I told one of their donation-seekers a few years ago that if I had a choice of reliving one semester there or both of my tours in Vietnam I'd start packing my jungle fatigues as soon as I got off the phone; I haven't heard from that Jesuit-run hellhole since. No blue and gray on my troops, ever.

Not intentionally

I don't remember the colours of my various schools if they even had any but I have (with great effort) painted troops up with my army units tartan (Black Watch).

Hell no, why would you ever?

God no, couldn't get out quick enough.

Not me either. Years after graduating, I worked for my alma mater for a mercifully short period. That cured any nostalgia I might have had.

Er… no. The very last thing I would think of doing.

"Go Old Wilsonians…"

Doesn't have much of a ring, does it?

No. I went to a bog-standard comprehensive. Nobody has any interest in them after they leave….

Not with my miniatures. However, I am a high school teacher and newspaper adviser, and I did paint a hydroplane in our school colors with lettering in our publication's style for Thunderboats!

Absolutely not, for reasons well stated by others.

I don't think the college I went to had any sort of banner.

My high school's colors were red,white,and black--black being predominant. So I guess Hospitalers,or maybe some pimped-out SS, would be in order.

Our band uniforms were black wool--just the thing for a parade on a hot day. We'd be issued ammonia capsules beforehand--wonder if they still do that?

And oh yeah,our marching step was the high-step--thigh parallel to the ground--just to add to the fun.

At least it wasn't the goose-step. . .

No, but in the same spirit as fictional regiments, ImagiNations, and so forth, I do honour favoured fictional schools…

Miskatonic University foremost among them.

No, I gave enough money ro them when I was paying tuition for three degrees. No special license tag no donations.

I do wear my Miskatonic University baseball cap a lot.

No way. They can suck it!
