Thanks for your input!
I agree that I am definitely biased towards the Neverborn. As of yet, it's all I play. I own the Victorias, but they are very secondary for me. I bought them so my friends would have something to play, essentially.
And yes, I am a gamer. As of right now, I only have the smallest of intentions to actually paint my minis. I would rather buy more minis instead of paint and thus give myself more options when hiring lists, etc. If you read the earlier post on my blog about how I don't usually like miniatures games, this may make more sense.
It's exactly the type of 10 month process of painting that I don't want to get into. The fact that you don't have to paint these minis for competition is worth huge points in my book.
But, in summary, that review is really the best I can do at the moment. But it's my general impression after about a month of it, and I think it would serve the "new player" well in deciding whether or not to play.
Thanks again!
