I feel like you shouldn't besmirch the painting prize. That's like 80% of the time investment in this game. They don't award that because it's no big deal--it is fundamental to the WH experience.

I agree. Half the reason I stopped playing GW games is because I didn't feel like painting anymore and I didn't want to play with non-painted minis if I expanded my armies or picked up a new one. Skill deserves to be rewarded and winning the painting contest is a mark of skill, no matter how the games turn out.

Well, spoiler alert, the Tournament happened this weekend and I won the painting prize. More on the rest later.
I was proud to have won it, and in fact that is about 80 per cent of the game for me, too! But the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, and I didn’t like that the game itself was such a persistent mystery.

Damn - just binge-read these and am truly looking forward to reading the conclusion. Thank you so much for writing this - your skill is apparent not just technically, but in the ethos you so nicely capture. Best writing on here since Barnes wrote that series of posts about owning a game store.

This series is the best thing I have ever read on this site.
It also confirms for me that I never, ever, want to play AoS.
