Concept Mapping

We needed a good model to represent our thought process in breaking down a Warhammer 40k player into concepts, so we turned to concept mapping.

If you aren't sure of what a concept map is or how to make one check this site out! I promise they do a great job of explaining it.  I would challenge you all to make your own maps! What are the elements involved in the "Complete 40k player"?

Several members each made one of their own before analyzing each other and eventually combining them to the one below.

Did we miss anything?
Is there something on our map you were surprised to see?
Is there one area you tend to specialize in the most?
Is there one area you want to learn more about?

Let us know in the comments below!
