FFG drops Rackham

You're very right about Heroscape being a game where usually one player buys everything. I think it's mainly due to the game avoiding distinct battle lines to encourage mixing troops in whatever fashion, thus meaning your army isn't "complete" unless you have every possible option.

I think the first company who makes pre-paints with snap-on pieces allowing you to customize your fig will make a killing. Lego should enter the market.

QFT.

I'm a lazy bastard when it comes to painting. Every so often, I get the hair up my ass to paint. Nowadays, I just lie down until the feeling passes.

So, pre-paints are appealing, but unless y'all are buying the game (which is doubtful), it isn't appealing enough....

I wish I had this good sense. I thought "What the hell, painting minis can't be that hard" and I started with WotR. Unfortunately, I neglected to realize that the "perfection" part of my personality was going to be at odds with my less than skillful painting.

The fucking Mordor Orc Army is gigantic (36 of those bastards) so I am alternating now between painting WotR and Descent. Trouble is, I know I have to complete everything or it will drive me nuts.

I should have left them unpainted.
