I started painting figs back in the late 70's when we discovered D&D and Citadel, Ral Partha, etc.. I was already a keen modeller, so painting little metal figures was a logical extension of that. When Roger Trader morphed into W40K I loved the whole idea behind it, the figures, the fluff (and eventually the pre Black Library novels), and I still pick up the brushes and have another crack at the figures even though I've no interest at all in war-games, I still have enough of a creative bent to want to paint figures and assemble plastic models. Time is always a factor though, as is money - mortgage, bills, etc to pay for, paintballing, restoring that motorbike in the garage...
