Why you should be playing Imperial Assault Skirmish
No art skills. I wouldn't even play x wing of the models weren't painted.

Nice thing is there is no requirement to paint. Most people I know play unpainted.
I buckled down for 3 weeks of intense painting as soon as I got my box. Having painted figures is essential for my enjoyment of Imperial Assault. I can't wait to get the brush to the rest of my miniatures games!
Anyway, I enjoy an IA skirmish from time to time, but I really couldn't treat skirmish mode as anything except a casual game. I really bought it for the campaign mode. I'll probably buy all the bounty hunters, though, just to paint them!
I love IA skirmish. I've probably played a bit more skirmish than campaign. I've got my ticket to IA Worlds in November! 
My minis aren't painted, but maybe I'll try paint them eventually.
