If someone got anal about how models are painted it would be another reason for me to walk away from the table. As always the game itself is a far secondary for me.

As in title. I'm starting based on some Gorkamorka classic red oldies, want to go yellow. Well even if not, does it matter?

Given the fact GW is kinda anal about paints (and BCB is wrong again, paint didn't matter only in 5th edition, from 6th to 8th you have seen clampdowns on people using 'wrong' colors multiple times) I'd suggest painting them pink. That way, when the codex finally drops, you can claim they are from Kustom Kult and you will be able to use any minifaction ruleset you want
Show me in the rulebooks where I can't have Ultramarine painted models and run them with the Salamanders Keyword. I can show you where I can, in the <CHAPTER> rules.

Dont be a pedant; the rules aren't limited to the rulebook now and haven't been for some time. The can be spread across magazines, can be found on Comunity blog posts, PDF's, and even come printed on cards in some boxes.

If you want to see the rule in question you just have to scroll up, I quoted it to you earlier and you chose to ignore it and cherry pick a quote back at me. It comes from the GW website, for a GW official event; It's an official rule, whether or not you want to keep shouting that its a house rule.

BCB is never pedantic. He knows that GW is infallible with their rules writing, always using precise language that cannot be open to interpretation, and always intend the rules to work exactly as written. It is everyone else who is wrong.

I much rather play an unpainted WYSIWYG army than an accurately painted fluff army full of proxy and counts as due to painted models, but poor wargear options. WYSIWYG shows alot more dedication

The are not "unpainted" the have turned grey from the ashes of Armageddon Prime's wastelands, hiding their klan colors

I don't play with any models that are unpainted. I don't mind if my opponents do, but I much prefer games against painted models.

I also paint a lot more than the 3 colour minimum/tournament standard. There's a reason my army is so small though, lol.

I just recently started buying my orks and trying to decide on paint. the codex soon will help a lot on this. ive just done my ork skin and weapons, waiting to finish paint scheme.
