The thing with BB is, despite what GW says, its actually THE easiest game to teach someone; only 4 stats, the 2 basic teams show the 2 primary sides to the game, the 'basic' and 'advanced' rules set (yea, i've seen the other threads about 'basic' vs 'advanced' rules), not throwing bucketfuls of dice, remembering who's got 2 wounds left, who's used their 1-shot kill machine, etc. Therefore, BB is more likely to pull in new players and KEEP them; and not all new players are painters (heck, the non-painter isn't even really interested in playing in the current league, but that might be because my Skaven bash his Humans into a bloody pulp every time we meet
), so some kind of rules set rewarding/penalising painted/unpainted figs would hurt the game in terms of bringing new talent in.Unfortunately, Marcus deleted the actual point of the thread, so i never got to see the propositions, but as it seems to have turned into a discussion on painting vs no, I thought I'd have a say on that topic.
), playing with what you've got is fine, as long as you're willing to cut me some time-slack while I ask you who's where every turn.
I would love to, but I just cann't, so I have to do it the harder way - try to paint it "right", and try, and try, and try... until I give up - then the fig is painted!!....
