Speaking of gameplay, I STILL haven't had a chance to actually do the intro game to find out how things play. Anyway, I have noticed that most of the painters really weren't that good. There are a couple of exceptions but I've even seen one where it looked like someone gave the model a coat of candy red spray picked out a few metal areas and called it good. Shocked me that a game company would use something like that to promote their products.
I've seen the battleforce stuff before, but as odd as this sounds, I'm trying to use what I've got right now and not sink a lot of money into battletech. That means I'm stuck with the 3rd ed models, citytech models, and those two boxes of the blue resin and metals I ran into. It's a surprisingly large selection but it's requiring a rather lengthy cleanup period.
I guess when it comes down to it, I just can't abide putting a poorly painted or unpainted model on the table if it can be helped and the battletech stuff is more of a challenge to make crap models look good hence why I've spent far more effort on technical stuff like blending and shading as well as accurate color schemes and insignia. Needing fewer models to play just means I'll have a decent amount with a fairly low initial time cost.
