Miniatures games are a big chunk of the action at Origins. An entire Exhibit Hall is set aside for tables of miniatures gaming. While I didn’t have the time or the batteries to document every interesting miniatures setup I saw in the hall, many of the more-impressive or more unusual ones appear below for your amusement.
Sort of a Cowboys and Indians Theme
