And once again, the ugly shadow of diffeneces in ideals and cultures lays waste to the land. War engulfs, claiming lives and rending souls. One day, gamers will learn to put their petty quarrels aside, slinging dice and speaking trash...

Seriously, I have no problem with those that have spent money to purchase figs using them to play my favorite tabletop miniatures game. It is in tourneys, and such, where I believe that one should show up with painted models from the company that makes the game/models. That said, and with the state of affairs as it is, currently, play with whatever models make you happy, I say.
