Forgive a non-tourney player's limited knowledge, but to what degree do you have to paint your minis according to fluff colours? Can't you just settle with any colour that you like, magnetize all sorts of different options from the chapters you want to play and then play?

This sounds like a very interesting project! I'll follow your progress. About magnetizing, I'd say that the interest for magnetizing starts with an illusion of 'I can save money by magnetizing all my options' and ends with 'weehaa! I wanna magnetize everything, because it's fun! Let's order more magnets!' ;-) At least that's what happened to me, hehe.

Yeah, now I only magnetize as I go, when I discover I want to use a new weapon.
