I kinda agree with your point, depending on the objective of the painter.
There's a 'basic' table top quality I try to give each of my minis (so they look good in the table like from 1 meter away or so).
Rank'n file troops all deserve at least that.
Then if they are somehow special characters, or extensive convertions, or I realy like the mini, they get extra atention.
Still, I do realise that all the time spent from this point on, wont ever be noticed by 80% of the people that sees them, and they will look exactly the same on the table.
Oh, and they 'chip' just the same if they are hit with a loose dice, or fall on the table (god forbid 'floor'), it just hurts a hell of a lot more!

| I agree, I'd only use basic painting techniques on the basic troops. Special characters require special attention! |

Having just returned to BB and mini painting in general, I've found that batch painting and spending ~1hr on a mini yields me nearly the same results as spending 4+ hrs Thanks for the blog.
I'll spend time practicing the finer points of painting once I get this team on the board. |

And squigskin, dont forget to post some pics of the team!
Looking at other ppl new teams or colour schemes is a great way to boost ourselves into finishing painting the team in the shelf...
Oh, and welcome back to the game!
Cheers
