I have edited my post to include this clarification.sann0638 wrote:The NAF doesn't need a head ref to Argue the Call, this is TO discretion.
However as we need miniatures to represent all the players (and Star Players) we are fielding and most TO's would prefer, incentivise or even mandate that those figures are both painted to a reasonable standard and easily recognisable as the players they represent, should we not also encourage miniatures for Apothecaries, Babes, Assistant Coaches, Cheerleaders and Head Coaches (if you want to 'Argue the Call') to a similar standard. I.E. if you want to argue the call then you should have a miniature that is a reasonable facsimile of you or your chosen avatar?
One of the great joys of this wonderful game is the pleasing aesthetic of two well painted teams on the board in front of you; and the addition, encouraged by the new GW rules to include a Head Coach miniature can only enhance that experience. Our teams are often an extension of our own personality and now we have the opportunity to explore that significantly further with a very personal representation of ourselves (that is mine in the middle of the back row ).
