In an ideal world, it should be, because assembling models is the boring part and painting them for painting competitions is the fun part. But it's an imperfect world and lovely people think they can leave their damned mold lines on the model  why bother even using detailed minis instead of green army men if you're not trying to make a display quality piece out of it?

Some people love assembly, some people also suffer from mental illness, we should show compassion. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate assembly, and I *would* pay extra for well assembled models, especially metal. I just don't trust random internet stranger to have done so.

I like assembly but dislike the thought of even trying to paint because I've painted things before and I'm bad at it

I’m assuming he’s using, like, nail stickers for the chapter badges which is seems like a pretty good solution since they’re probably small (and designed to look good at that native resolution), highly adhesive, and well pigmented. It’s really pretty well done TBQH.          E: Weird, why did one of these [img] rather than [timg]? Schadenboner fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Oct 24, 2018 |

How many well painted models have you seen at a LGS? They exist, but it is rare as poo poo. There is noway to skip the phase where your bad at it. Also that Kitty team is very well painted.

I’ve thought of doing guys up like Greco-Roman marble statues* That or doing them greyscale like WW1/2. *: The good austere versions we have now, not painted up all slutty like they say they were originally (which just proves that “Hams are the worst and ruin everything” is not a historically recent phenomenon).

Raw plastic and metal are not interesting to look at. Hell, even if you think like that, priming them white and dipping them or applying a darktone/nulnoil wash would be a drastic improvement.

My paint jobs are bad because it's not enjoyable and I don't care enough to try and get better but I'll keep pushing my plain figs around on the rare chance I get to play a mini game because I have fun

Not painting because you don't like it - Fine, different strokes for different folks. 2. Not painting because you are bad it - Stupid argument because everyone starts as a bad. 3. Not painting because you don't like it, and you don't like it because you are bad at it - See #2

Is it not fun because you're bad at it and aren't getting the results you want, or is it not fun in general? If it's not fun in general there may be better hobbies for you, if it's not fun because you're bad then spend a month pushing through the being bad until it becomes fun.

I'm in the same boat. I see painting as a means to an end. Can't say I enjoy the time doing it though.

Nebalebadingdong posted:Too bad lego gaming never really took off, seems like it'd be perfect for you guys If you don't want to paint, just prime and dip your models. It couldn't be easier, and white primer with dark dip or wash looks pretty good. It pops out all the details that would be lost at least. Can do a zenithal style priming if you want to be lazier, even that is a drastic improvement.

Or maybe they just like the other aspects of the game?  Like, the modeling is a huge part, but some folks just wanna make their mans shoot on the battlefield and don't care how their mans look
