Does anyone here play Mage Knights?
Besides me, that is. 
It's a miniautres-based game using plastic figures with changable stats listed on dials on the figures' bases.
My brother got me into this mess.

That's a 'no', then?

I like to think of it as dumbed-down warhammer.

I've given up on miniature wargaming. My 15mm Romans, Byzantines, Celts, Pontics, Egyptians and Arabs have been sold. My 25mm Fantasy armies have been whittled down to a manageable number of RPG props. These days I only play DBA which doesn't require anywhere near the number of figures and a good multiplayer campaign involving a dozen battles or so can be wrapped up in a day of play.

Mage Knight is sort of a cross between miniatures wargaming and fantasy card gaming. The figures are sold five in a box, with no way to determine what's actually in there without opening the box. The rules are quite simple, and a standard game is supposed to last fifty minutes -- that is to say, it's on a timer. Not that you have to; my brother and I seem to always go for 'last man standing' games with no time limit.
