Since I have about as many models as to set up 3 different armies, I figured I could use them in our games. Models as in miniatyres, like Space Marines.
I asked the players to make their own character as model, and if they did, they would gain +1 fatepoint.
The results where that pretty much everyone went and found a model to represent their character and painted it. It was really interesting to watch the different models, all sorts of different bits they had chosen and one of them had used alot of greenstuff.
Benefits:
1. Putting together and painting a model like this is pretty easy to make it look OK.
2. The models can be used in combat on a grid along with other models to easily show where everyone is.
I'll see if I can post some pictures soon
