nice! the new edition features animated 3D pieces, as well. And many of the pieces seem very similar to mine.. but then, they all have to retain the "feel" of whatever chess piece they are, so I suppose that kinda limits what you can do... anyway, Battle Chess was my inspiration for this project (the old version) so I think I will make the Queen a magic user.

And Mat: thanks, yes once this is all done I'm going to post it on my website, it hasn't got much content yet but I'm going for quality over quantity as much as time allows hehe
