I myself used to play a guy who was afraid to mess up his figures so usually just played with them undercoated in black.
Best one yet, love it...
Paint 'em black so they don't look crap on the table,
magic!!! :-*

I'm ashamed to say I never thought of the irony. :P It was more that his dad painted him for him so they'd look good. The problem was that his dad (being actually the one making money to fund all this kid's warhammer) was around very little so there'd be one or two perfectly painted ones with say 15 undercoated ones. I was a kid too but had to fund this stuff myself - so always had less than the other kid, and the other guy's stuff always the elite troops (I had my plucky Empire full of normal dudes and he had High Elves, so you can imagine the problem). No amount of trying to bring points into the game would make him have less than his whole collection - so it was always an unfair fight. IGOUGO and Warhammer of all kinds was ruined for me as a consequence. He had good dice rolls as well, so he'd always go first, which meant the effective units of my army were always dead by the time I got to do anything.
There's a reason I'm part of a better group now.
