Depending on the manufacturer the mini itself will vary in PC type or monster type minis as to which is more interesting.Above all else I tend to give more time to monsters due to the way most are not clothed and funny looking fur tends to ruin any other work you do. The tricks to use on furs make it a bit easier, but the caked on paint already tends to slow it down.So the sculpt for me really determines if I want to paint it, and how much detail it gets.Some minis may look suitable in their existing form, and just some touch-ups are added, or filling in missed spots with the closest color I can make to match. Time just a bit of shading and highlighting with a quick wash to bring out the depth of the mini is all that is needed to make many look like they are 10 times better.So, as a player and DM at varying times, painting minis and which gets more detail and attention depends on the mini itself and the detail and sculpt it has. This goes for metals, plastics pre- and un-painted, etc. The sculpt really asks you to paint it a certain way or not at all.</blockquote>
