"Armies After Death" Topic

On a scale of 0 to 10, where zero means nothing and ten means maximum, how much does it bother you to think of someone else playing with your armies after your death?

Would you be happy to see your soldiers still on the battlefield after you're gone?

Or would you rather have your armies retired when you're gone?

Since I have sold many armies over the years, not a bit

Post-mortem care factor? About zero.

None

I'm just motivated to do what I can to insure they don't end up in a dumpster.

I would hope that any grandchildren I may have in future might develop some interest, but if not, I'd be happy for anyone to have them who will play with them and derive pleasure from them.

Sort of pointless really, all you can care about is what you think will happen to them when you're dead. Whatever you've done to assure their fate before you go, you'll never know their true fate.

So, enjoy them while you can.

I'm trying very hard to see the troops all go to good homes. Same with the books. Dumpsters bother me.

Far better if someone uses and enjoys them when I'm gone than if they're thrown in the trash.

(Pretty sure no-one is going to put them in a museum.)

None. I just hope whomever ends up with them gets to use them more than I do.

None. As noted above, I am more concerned about them ending up in the trash. If someone can use whatever my kids don't want, more power to 'em.

0, I'm dead! Don't care anymore.

I'd be happy to see my figures still taking part in battles after I'm gone.

Some of the figures have names and characters, Skoggr the Vile, for example, and I think it might be bit of a come down for him to become a regular, run of the mill Viking, just one of a horde, instead of somebody special. The only alternative I have thought of is to have a half dozen or so of my favorite figures buried with me, and that seems ultimately pointless, other than to confuse future archaeologists. If I am cremated, they won't even accomplish that.

BTW when I read the title I expected an undead/skeleton army.

What would bother me is if they never find a home and just end up as clutter, or even in the trash.

Second HMS Exeter.

I being buried with my lead soldiers to have something to play with in the next world. Might have to find additional pallbearers

I have no concerns what is going to happen when I die.

0. It doesn't bother me at all. I hope they get many more battles after I'm gone.

Zero. Equal to the number of figures I plan to still own when that happens.

Anything I want I am keeping. I am only getting rid of a few things on the margins.

My plan is to live a very long time and I am working on that, so I don't want to dispose of anything prematurely.

Even at a young age we can all go anytime.

In Kentucky you can be buried on private land so I may just designate my wargame room as a cemetery and be buried with it.

I'll take the memories of them with me so I can still play with them in the afterlife… ;-)

I just hope someone will get lots of games in, with them.

I'll pass on my "projects" too and see if they can finish them. Bring them "life".

Alackaday, I doubt I would be able to afford a mausoleum large enough to have them all arrayed about me to enjoy using in the afterlife.

Don't care!

I'd be tickled pink to think my armies got use after my passing. Well, honestly I wouldn't feel anything since I'd be dead, but you get the idea.

10. I want to sell mine or donate them to someone who appreciates them. I spent years of my life to craft these, make them accurate, beautiful -- like any artist, why wouldn't I do this for posterity?

3. As many others have said I'll be gone but up until then I'd like to think that my children would keep a few figures or my grandchildren would keep some armies to play with.

I'm trying to organize them so they'll be easy to sell and I would be happy to have others use them to game with.

Getting them into a museum? How cool would that be?

0. Assuming I don't die suddenly and unexpectedly, they'll all be in landfill as soon as I stop enjoying them. No one else would want them, so why burden my wife and children with what to do with them after I'm gone?

I will possess and haunt the pieces whomever they go to, moving them when nobody is looking, flipping dice to favorable or unfavorable scores, re-arranging formations and squads. Kind of like what I do now. Hey, after I'm dead I'll have a lot of time on my side, so why not continue messing with the bone bags and air suckers while they play with my troops after I'm turned onto ash?
