Wasting no time!

[gerardb88]

That things gonna look awesome in blue and orange!

[petepaintswarhammer]

Grumpy and looking to start an argument…

If you want to hobby but can’t be arsed to paint or can’t afford to pay someone to paint for you… Use cardboard cutouts. It’s crap but it looks better than unpainted models on the table.

[copperforge]

Dropping shoulder to shoulder into the argument like:

I’m with Pete here!

Bare plastic is a no-go. Cut the guys from the box an tape them on the bases? 🤔

[a-40k-dad]

I won’t say anything about someone’s unpainted models on the table because I’m polite but I’ll certainly have an opinion about it :

[earlploddington-deactivated2019]

*shrinks into the floor at increasing speeds*

[a-40k-dad]

Ploddy, compadre, It’s fine to have WIPs though. I mean I’ve got shitloads of WIPs. I just try not to field them is all. To bring some nuance on my opinion on the matter : While playing at home : anything goes. Unpainted, proxys with other toys w/e. Playing in a lgs or game club : make the effort to have fully painted models and generally remain wysiwyg.

[fishbowl28]

I am going to, from now on, exclusively paint all my models with the layer form on dawnstone grey just to piss people like y'all off. All of my models will technically be painted, but dawnstone grey has the EXACT color of the GW plastic, I’m ready to start this war.

[petepaintswarhammer]

Honestly… that’s actually better than unpainted because I won’t have to stare at ugly glue marks all over the model…

[endless-pterodactyl-screeching]

I definitely don’t mind playing against grey models, but I have a very powerful urge to have everything completely painted before I field it (which is a problem now since I have a hard time finding time to paint). I actually have only played one game of 8th edition because of this.

[petepaintswarhammer]

I’m very much the same. It’s kind of freeing because I’m not able to keep up with the meta I can kind of ignore it and find my own lists that work. It’s certainly frustrating though that most things I can put on the table has some sort of super unit that can go against it. But I get satisfaction that my fully painted army still looks better than any unpainted net list that I might face.

[tw6464]

Oi, I know I’ll probably get some backlash from but here goes: Maybe some of us can’t find the motivation to do it because of arguments like this, or because people post amazingly paint models. Maybe some of us aren’t exactly confident in their painting skills and are too afraid of what people will think, and of how that judgement. Maybe some of us don’t have the money to afford the exact paints needed and don’t want to go into something without having all the necessary materials. Maybe some of us find more enjoyment taking 1-3 hours assembling many models than spending more than 5+ hours painting a single model. Maybe some of us constantly doubt their own abilities in terms of models and painting and want to take the time to paint when they feel like it, rather than right after a model is assembled. @petepaintswarhammer I know that you probably didn’t mean anything by this but come on, man. This is the sort of thinking that keeps new people away from this hobby.

[fenris-calls]

Yeah dude I can appreciate wanting to play against painted armies only but sometimes people just can’t find the time. The folks that have unpainted armies are usually parents, have more than one job, or are going to school.

[petepaintswarhammer]

Full time job? Check.

Parent? Two children one 4 on Monday and the other 4 ½ months… Check

I’ll add in dealing with depression and anxiety. So dealing with an illness shall we say. Check

I can also add in living with and supporting a partner who also has a chronic illness. Check

Painted army? Check

This argument always gets me down. I don’t have time? Please!

Let me really boil this down to a simple yes no hypothetically question.

You walk into a hobby space with a friend. There are two identical tables set up for gaming.

Table A has scenery and your army lists all set out, built but completely unpainted.

Table B has scenery and your army lists all set out built and painted.

Honestly tell me which do you choose. Honestly. It’s simple. A or B.

No “it doesn’t matter I’m playing with a friend” take that out of it. You have two identical tables one has painted scenery and models one has unpainted models and scenery. That’s it. That’s your choice.

Would you choose to play on table A with unpainted or table B with painted?

[gerardb88]

Right so this is a strange one as being my brother I'm not used to wading in to his defence but I won't have people calling him an asshole or insensitive! I am an avid gamer and I am one of the ones out there who much prefers playing and modelling than the rather laborious task of painting hundreds of models! However all of my models have paint on them! I am a blood angels player so all of them are either at least red or black base coat! Some are finished, some are part finished! Everyone has time to blu tac models to a wooden board and spray them a base coat, yes it's not A+ standard of painting bit it's better than grey models and takes literally minutes! Spray cans are there specifically to inject some speed into the painting process! My brother is one of the most inclusive and patient players out there and the only time he's a bit of an 'asshole' is in the lists he writes!

100 Reasons NOT To Kill Yourself

1. We would miss you. 2. It’s not worth the regret. Either by yourself if you failed or just simply left scars, or the regret everyone else feels by not doing enough to help you. 3.
