I have to agree with the sentiments a few pages back. When I have a handful of models, all of them named, I care more about them, I play them better, and spend more time painting them.
The 53rd Ork or Orc, or Space Marine gets old for me. Like many, my first exposure was GW.... and I drank the Kool-aid, dutifully painted block after block of figures, and wasnt somehow satisfied. Then WarMachine came, and I fell in love, but the bloom fell off the rose as units became more important and the 9th Trencher just didnt matter to me anymore.
Now I have Malifaux, and I couldnt be happier, I play more, I paint with more enthusiasm, and when I need a change of pace I can start a new faction for a VERY reasonable price.
