Yeah, it's always a wonderful experience playing against an unpainted army, while my opponent is complimenting how nice the paint is on my army.

back in '91 my buddy & I played everyday after school at his house on the dining room table. That battlefield had terrain to match most scenarios, but our terrain budget was $0. Need mountains, boom stacks of books, need city terrain, boom Tupperware & kitchen gadgets, people just dont have the imagination. Also it was a little different since at most there would be 20 models aside on a 4x6 & tanglefoot/vortex grenades were a thing.

When my friend and I first started, our Imperial and Chaos forces clashed over possession of Peppa Pig's house...

Planet Bowling Ball has been a favored tabletop type since 2nd edition, and while I haven't played first edition I'd wager since 1st edition.

Its because people do not want to be assed to create terrain or buy terrain. Most people cannot be assed to fully assemble and paint their armies.

And I can't understand this sort of logic. I played two different games at my armory where we forgot the terrain box. One battlefield was made with cardboard pieces and flyers, the other was made from dishes and utensils from the chow hall.
