Well, 25 models is about 2 1/2 Blood Bowl teams.
I've got 6 unpainted ones. I might be able to get some done by May anyway.

By early May? I should be good for 25, maybe 50 if I get on a roll and crank out some nids or skeletons. 100 would be a crazy stretch.

How many models are in a typical 2000 point Space Marine army?

I can't believe they actually mean it when they say "any size", but the LI starter set alone contains "223 epic scale plastic Citadel miniatures", by GW's own metrics. I always thought it was silly that they counted each miniature individually on those boxes, but by their own metrics, I certainly painted over 500 miniatures last year.

And yet on Nurglings it says 3 miniatures even though there's dozens of the little guys in that box and they're the size of a GUO compared to LI guys.

I noticed the teleport homer that comes with a box of Terminators is a model...
Makes me wonder if the skulls in the battlefield trophy kit are all individual models...

Whilst I very much hope people are just having a laugh?
Remember, store staff are just doing their job. And having worked various retail jobs, customers being wilfully difficult is a level of hassle the shop staff can well do without.
