Funny thing is that is cheeper them some GW armies. In reading the comments it said that it cost his friend around 500 bucks.

I love it this was his way of relaxing, just painting up a period army. Awsome idea and nice to see in all it's glory.


FOR KING AND COUNTRY!!!

What game system would it be for?

Any of the eighty bazillion Napoleonic rule sets out there would probably work. It's also possible that the guy is just a history buff and enjoys collecting and painting historical figures. Peter Cushing liked collecting historical minis and I'm pretty sure he never gamed with them, and if it's good enough for Peter Cushing, then it's good enough for anyone.

Why must everyone have more money than I do?

Because you spend them all on GW plastic,that is why. Anyways I agree it looks rather stunning

The video poster stated that altogether the collection would have come to about $3000. He painted them over a 40 year period or something however so it's not as bad as it seems...

That, is amazing!

I wonder how much that would cost if that was all 40k stuff?

25,000 figures? Let's go with the nearest equivalent, Guard. Let's say you wanted to do the same as in the video - Napoleonic style army, 3 divisions. If you just want the same amount of models - not accounting for cavalry, cannons, paint, etc? $72,500 at retail.

At first I was going to jokingly reply "$40 000" but then I saw the video and realized 40k stuff would certainly cost more than that.
