worst task in wargaming

Painting, or rather repainting, stuff you bought ready painted to "save time"

For example I recently bought 16 28mm metal wolf riders on Ebay, they looked nicely painted in the photos, a sort of gray flesh which wasn't my first choice for goblins, but it would do. But when they arrive, some of them are green skinned 
I have no complaints about the painting standard and looking really closely at the photos I now see a hint of green skin in the back ranks, so I missed that.
I game Middle Earth in 28mm and hate green goblins/orcs. So now I have to repaint the exposed flesh, which is still faster than painting from scratch, but there are other things I wanted to paint right now!

Removing those fiddly little bits of sprue connecting a horse's belly to its base.

I'd have to agree with rebasing.

I do love sets of rules that either use common base size assumptions or are base size agnostic.

I thought you had enough Orcs !!!!!!.

I have enough orcs on foot, but you can never have enough wolf riders can you!

And you told me 64 was enough !!!!!!.  Double standards methinks

As long as he did not want 5 more.... 

Orcs are NEVER enough.

1st most worst thing: Is when you spend a good long time painting all the detail on the models (guns, straps etc...) then you get them outside for the once over with the Army painter anti-shine varnish, then (after you have sprayed) you spot one German trooper with an unpainted MP40 or another where you missed his belt! grrrrrrr! angry!

2nd most worst thing: Jim Ando blowing the crap out of your afrika korps with his stupid artillery, when you spend all week painting it and it has not even fired a shot in anger then you pack it away in the case! double grrrrrrr!
