You're definitely not alone in that, likewise some people only like the building/painting and don't play the game. Contrast paints are brilliant if you haven't looked at them already. Just spray a base coat when slather on some contrast all over the model, it does highlights and lowlights for you so you're left with just picking out the weapons and any details if you want.
Also texture paints for basing, the ones in the photo I just posted have a layer of AK Interactive Dark Earth, you can just leave them at that and it'll be tons better than bare bases. -
I definitely used to be in this camp and always fielded half painted armies when I used to play back in the day but these days I find painting quite relaxing and enjoyable.

I prefer building to painting but having unpainted models annoys me so I feel compelled to do it. I do like the speed paints/contrast paints though, they take a lot of the faff out of it if you're ok with the slightly inferior results.
Playing, I'm not so fussed about.
My favourite bit is reading grimdark pulp fiction though...

Am I the only one that finds the painting the worst part of the hobby? My son and I just want to play battles and have to use a mish mash of hardly painted figures because neither of us can be arsed to paint them up...
