Gameplay's the thing for me, that's why I'm big into Wizkid's stuff; all their figures come pre-painted. Also I don't have the time to paint figures.

I hope I'm not breaking any rules posting that...
As far as GW's business policies, I would have to agree that their practices in general are distasteful to me. Especially their policy of opening up GW stores in close proximity to other gaming stores that have been carrying their product successfully for many years. Just seems unethical to me.
