AFAI am concerned, people can play whatever they like.	If the silly 
gits wish to use GW background, that's their problem.  Don't stomp on 
anyone willing to play real rulesets--remember that this hobby needs 
all the help it can get, and we as players have an obligation to 
encourage people to get started in it.	If it helps someone to have a 
background which permits him to tell Epic players "I've got a cool new 
game, and you can use your old minis and background with these rules," 
Good for him.  Beats sitting at home whining you can't find Dirtside 
players.  Which is my current situation--the only other guy I know who 
plays it is only available in evenings, and I work evenings.

Besides, does anyone know where, other than Epic, I can find decent 
power-armored miniatures for the price?
