both painted and unpainted figs? Don't think so. As it was pointed out somewhere, too many production and distribution problems connected with such solution.
We'll see if that's true

I've heard, that those model will be hard to re-paint, because of used material (paint will not stick to it, or something like that).
If that's true - every army will lok the same

But some of us aren't interested in painting armies. I enjoying painting but loathe being stuck painting 30-40 models (or more). These models come as prepainted and unpainted for my understanding.

I would take this game up if pre-painted, I don't have time to gather and paint yet another companies mini's (to add to the 100;s of partial painted I already own )

I guarantee that if GW went prepainted for core choices it would not be long before unpainted models were not available. I would love to do a skaven army but I am not painting a model that is worth 2 points.

As with most thinks, this is each to there own, and that is the great thing about this hobby - everyone can get want they want out of it.

I can understand your point of view. However - as I've written earlier - my hobby is not painting or gaming - but both.
So - I want to have a possibility to paint my army as I wish.

I actually have 2 sets of pre-painted minis (not rackham's of course) but putchased these because I was curious about painting quality
I'll repaint them as soon as I finally start "call of cthulhu" minis
