So I saw the group on Facebook, and thought I'd check out these forums! I'm from Dayton Ohio, USA.
I don't know if I qualify as a fanatic, but I did decide to run 15 Kings of War events at Origins and GenCon this year (starting tonight), and so have made 5 1000 pt+ KoW armies (the other three I'm using right now are repurposed GW armies (orcs, goblins and ogres)). I hope to have those replaced with Mantic armies by GenCon (at least the orcs and adding elves).
