I'm not totally against the use of unpainted figures. It would have to be for a good cause such as playtesting. But otherwise, leave your unpainted stuff in the box.
I really, really am!
I try to be forgiving... so if there are extenuating circumstances fair enough. But blatant use is the act of a scoundrel. The figures should be represtative and I've been caught out when scrofulous looking bowmen were actually the armies elite fighting unit.
But I try not to moan... and rely on Karma
Greetings
I agree. No unpainted figures on my tables.
Not so worried about reasonable proxies. Also not too worried about figures where a bit more detailing or additional basing is required (provided this is done in due course).

If it's not painted, it's not on the table.
