So Im reading Sartar: Kingdom of Heroes for Heroquest, and I see that the character sheet has a little dude in the corner for you to draw on features and markings:-

I think this is a totally awesome idea* that could easily be stolen for Deathwatch. What Marine won't be covered with a network of scar tissue and tattoos after several hundred years of service. And you could have a picture to record them! The big Imperial Eagle tattooed on your guy chest? Draw it on! The claw marks from a particularly wounding attack by a genestealer? Big manly gashes on his forarms. The augmetic leg he got after a lascannon blew off the original? Doodle one in! The barcode on the back of his neck. The long service studs in his forehead. Draw em all in!

Well I think it is a good idea.

*I'd think it was even more awesome if they had had the nerve to make the dollies completely naked, but hey ho.

Nice idea.

I don't think that my skill in trade (artist) is high enough to draw my Ironpriest but for normal marines that could be awsome.

Heh. I used this basic concept with the Eldar but... Errr, yeah, wrong forum and game I guess.

One of the things I liked about the implementation in Sartar:KOH was the examples (there are a couple more in the book) showing you don't need to be very good at drawing to create something fun.

I see Phillip Sibberings marine pictures in the same pose - front/back with arm raised. Maybe add a Black Carapace and some interface plugs.

Certainly it would also be great for Eldar, although their more intricate patterns might be harder to draw than crude Imperial iconography!

Well, no one has ever done that before...
