Miniature Painting Snobbery?
So on RPG.net, on Other Games, they're talking about prepainted Rackham figures. They're the guys doing AT-43 and have done Confrontation and Ragnarock.One guy is like, "If the army I'm facing isn't...

Yes. Turned around, the painting types figure that you're supposed to "paint to play". Eh. I'm neutral. My latest works: Faces of Serran: Radinemus and Dark Houses

It does kind of take away from the immersion into the game. Me, I won't field a unit unless I have it painted...and I get very twitchy when guys come in to play and have a legion of shining pewter on...

Isn't the WYSIWYG standard per GW though?And how do you think the 'snobs' will feel if things go to prepainted routes?

I know what the acronym stands for but I don't understand how that would effect game play. My minis are painted, yours are not. Does this mean my minis can "see" because I painted eyes on them and...

Oh! I believe it means the miniature represents exactly what the figure is armed and armored with. So, if the miniature does not actually show a sword, it is not assumed that all warriors have a side...

All I know is that if I want to have special troop types for my IG or Chaos Marine army, I have to convert them to make them. Whether it be Possessed, Nurgle Terminators, Catachan Veterans,...

I got out of GW stuff long ago simply because I was tired of the constant army/model shifts and trying to find the exact model that I wanted . . . . not to mention rules changes, book changes, and...

It's not so much snobbery as it is respect for your fellow players. I don't care if your conversions or paint jobs are as good as mine....all I care about is that you put forth the effort. Hell, a...
