Wow..people are going on the attack.
And I can see maybe testing a strategy before painting...but having been there a lot, it would seem people are testing a lot as I have personally only seen 2 or 3 armies that painted as well.
If someone only care about the strategy their are better rules in Magic the gathering, which is a fully strategic game that is ready to play out of the box at a lower price tag.
Again, time...it seems like a lot of people don't have the time..not a attack, just an observation.
And price..again, there are cheaper games to play such as Magic, which again, is great..at a fraction of the price with strategic elements.
You are all attacking him for trolling, when in fact he does make good point. I got turned on to this game when I saw two people playing with fully painted armies...not greatly painted, but fully painted...making the game seem like a deep hobby game which made players take pride in their work as well as gaming awesomeness. It is a game that takes time.
Again..not attacking any players.
