Answer 1

So first assemble your minis. Then you decide the paint scheme for them. Next you let them sit around for months as your pile of shame until you break down and spend a month painting them. Then you hate yourself for not being as good as the painting guides on YouTube. Finally you show up at your game store and find out there’s no one to play because everyone just plays Warhammer and you bought into the wrong game.
