I missed the poll suggestion, and as a result the answer I need isn't there. You can make a decent case that "an army is never finished" but there is a serious difference between "I have two finished units and the rest are mostly primed" and "there are still things I'd like to add, but the army is table -ready." "Table-ready" is always good. |

There's at least three levels of "finished": * Table-ready
* Finished all I intended for it
* Finished all I got for it and I can't get more because the figures are OOP and I've emptied eBay of them The first two are good. The last is a royal pain if it happens before the first two, but fine if it coincides with the 2nd. As for enjoying the journey, well, I do enjoy the journey, but it's not like finishing an army or five would leave me without stuff to paint. 'Tis better to paint and have a bunch of table-ready armies than to paint and not have any table-ready forces, and as long as you put any value at all on playing that should hold true no matter how much you enjoy painting. |
