Unit fillers are one solution to the problem. The problem still exists though... and unit fillers tend to be more accepted in some armies/units than others. I don't think I've ever seen a cavalry unit or a high elf unit with a unit filler in it...


For me, Fantasy doesn't really appeal anymore. The army size is too big (too many models to paint), a full force is prohibitively expensive, the rules tend to inhibit rather than help, and the fluff is generic and bland compared to most other games I've played....
