I agree with you. When I was playing SM/TL, I had to paint each fig of
my infantry stands one by one! But I'm not a great and fast painter and
it was too long. When the new stands were released I was very happy
because they seemed to be easy to paint. Unfortunately it's not true
with such units as Nobz or assault marines, each fig take a lot of place
on the stand.
Anyway, I don't paint my stands fig per fig any more because it's too
long...

So you don't plan your detachments before painting?

60 tanks?! As I need about 1 hour to make one (and without painting well
:(, I would need 60 hours to paint all of them... Pfff! I'm tired just
by thinking about all the work! ;)

Yes, merci.
