OK guys (and I hope a few ladies have sneaked in there too 
)
There has been an idea in my head for quite some time and the recent discussion about some people coming from some other places has given me the will to elaborate a bit further that idea...
Though most of what is uniting our community undoubtedly comes from UK, The odlhammer seems to have no boundaries with people coming from everywhere. I like the fact that origins don't mess around any further than P&P for Ebay trades...
SO...
I was thinking we could celebrate a bit our diversity by starting a sort of group project where everyone would bring a miniature (or gaming material like scenarios, why not) with a bit of his own background or country for others to share.
There could be multiple events but one I was thinking about was that each of us would be converting/painting a model with a common trait but adapted to his own origins.
I was thinking about starting with the general concept of "a knight" since nearly every race can have some (yes, dwarves DO ride...).
For example, I'm french and I come from a place known for its chicken so I am tempted to make some brettonian knight riding a giant chicken. The thing here is to mock prejudices so I could also go for a Nurgle champion riding a giant snail with stinky cheeses hooked everywhere on him or I could go for some Slann riding a snail... you see what I mean. Maybe the irish amongst us could come up with some fimir riding a sheep or something.
Next time after the "knight theme" it could be the design of scenario or a personnal regiment of renown, there are no limits to this...
I understand it seems quite vague at the moment and with the oldhammer day coming people will have their minds on more thrilling ideas? I'm writing this one down so it gets in people's heads and when I come up with my own creation, I hope it gives people the will to do the same.
EDIT :
