[QUOTE="sjmiller, post: 3376780, member: 17262"] I guess the first thing I would have to ask is if he was one of the people who was there when this policy was agreed upon? I ask because if he wasn't, then he had no real say in the whole matter, which is a tad unfair to him if he states he can't paint miniatures. I can't paint them, but that is entirely because of health issues, and I would not be able to be at your game table if people were painting, but that is not his issue. I personally think you were wrong to ask him to take his figure off the table. If the problem was that it could not stand, well a quick file job should do the trick. If it is because of the paint job, then it is really unfair. Your rule said it had to be painted, not that it had to be painted well or to suit your taste. I personally do not have rules about what you use to represent yourself in the game. If I am running a game that uses figures, you can use anything as long as it fits in the same area your figure is supposed to occupy. Heck, right now I have players using dice to represent their mounts, a Yoda figure to represent a monkey familiar, and some cardboard counters to represent a couple of characters. It's not a big deal, at least to me. [/QUOTE]
