My problem but WoW is to blame in my case.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

Same here.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

There does seem to be a inverse relationship between "Should be painted" and "Good at Playing." I'm here to play, honestly, I couldn't care less how your models look. Mine are painted because where I live, you have to have them painted decently to have a chance to win overall in the tournaments. If I didn't have all the freetime at work, I'd just be going for best general.

Fortunately, nobody here is rude enough to get on your case if you have unpainted models. Or stupid enough. Start being a snob about any part of the hobby up here, and you quickly find yourself without anyone to play with, and nobody checking out your fancy new paint scheme. There are certain benefits to having a small community. And an armed one, people are really polite up here. I guess there is something to that saying after all...

Painting is not my favorite part the modeling is but I try my best on the main HQ and Elites. To me you should at least have them primed so that way you can go paint when ever you have a little free time. I live were there is not much gamming so when I get a chance I try and make the most of it by bringing moslty painted models and always checking out my compeditors models and asking them about diffrent ways of painting and modeling. But just have fun make painting just that not a chore!
