So, this is perhaps the most minor suggestion I can ever think of, but for me, one of the draws of minis is being able to... well, ogle the minis. :lol:

What I'd like to suggest is something in the Army Management and/or store that lets you view the 3D models of the units. Once this is in place, perhaps even the ability to preview the color changes (and skins, if the rumors I've heard of them being added are true) could be added as well. It's such a minor thing, I know, but my inner minis-nerd wants to stare at the pretties... :geek:

+1 :) yeah that would be neat, especially for the colors

I think this would add a lot too, but I have a feeling it was a dev decision not to do it because loading models into the Lobby area is going to slow down the whole lobby area. I have a feeling they kept it all 2D graphics for a reason.

Although, this doesn't mean that there can't be something you load into out of the lobby to look at them. But you would have to exit it to get back to the lobby.

The whole UI pre-game feels kinda rushed. I'm sure it'll improve over time, but there's bigger fish to fry at the moment.

Would be cool, however...
