I'm not sure if this is a folly or not. It certainly stands out --
An Astartes size chain sword replica made as a promo for the Space Marine video game from Relic:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Warhammer-40k-Replica-Space-Marine-Chainsword-/160989919128?pt=Games_US&hash=item257bbf3798
"Only" $800 USD.

That's not bad for a one of a kind hand made prop.
I paid over $1200... close to $1500... for all my Aliens Colonial Marine stuff. Pulse rifle, armor, shoulder lamp, custom bdu's, patches, etc etc.

Haha, no, I didn't buy the props from the video game, I bought my outfit and accessories from different vendors several years ago. I should have said "for all my Colonial Marine replica stuff from the Aliens movies"

This is my masterpiece. I created it for the Crystal Brush Tournament in Chicago this year, and it didn't have a fancy base/plinth, so it was ignored. (I'm a wargamer, and it was my first contest. I kept the base simple because I intended to sell it after. If I enter again, I'll attach the obligatory wooden block to my bases.) So, what that means to you is that you're about to buy the best ever painted miniature I've ever painted. It was painted over a period of a week (several hours a day), and with touch ups after assembly. Much of the detail is freehand - that is, not following mold/model lines and I'm very proud that they turned out straight and even. It was especially challenging was painting straight lines over the bumpy armor. The codex colors for this model are extremely boring, and I wanted to do something to bring out the 'space shark' inside of this model. All the colors are marine/sea colors, excepting the metallics, and I did my best to bring out EVERY armor plate. The eyes, and every bump is higlighted. There is no ink on the entire model, except on the trophy skulls - which means that all of the colors and lines are sharp. Every good space marine should keep his armor spotless, and I attempt to follow that, down to his steel toed boots. All of the blades on the lighting claw/chain fist are adamantium tipped, and every rivet, even those holding on the metal flashing, are individually painted. The model is based on a real rock, as to give the otherwise light resin model a little weight to keep it from sliding or tipping over. I even used real, unstained, bleached lambskin for his apron. Well, maybe not. I never understood why some space marines have aprons...
I'd be happy to paint the rock, and or base the model to match your army, or leave it as is for you to rebase as you please. I have a few colored sands/flocks, and static grass, along with little rocks to replace the big rock if you like. Just give me a day or two to base from the time of order.
And another of his fantastic auctions!
Only for $185!

I used to have one of each (giant Guard army back in the day, including multiple companies of IG Beastmen), but have since sold all my Epic stuff with the exception of my Titans. Still have about 100 Warhounds, Reavers, Warlords, Imperators, Great Gargants, Mega Gargants, Slasha Gargants, Phantom, Warlock, Revenant and Farseer Titans

My Capitol stuff was all in Pewter - this looks plastic and does not seem to line up with the diagrams from my catalogues.
I have all of them - IG and Squat at least one of each and mulitples on a few. I just really have issue with this one - it seems like a model tank suspension system for a Soviet/Warsaw pact vehicle more than a GW mini.
From what I'm gathering these were made in plastic as well? Please let me know if that is the case - I've never seen a plastic set before.
Here is a link to the Capitol Imperialis - http://www.galactic-intrigue.com/epicollector/Pages/2-Catalog/Catalog-Overview-Frames.html.
It seems similar but still this feels wonky to me. Thanks for the imput and education. I've been collecting/playing for over 20 Years and still find out weird new stuff all the time.

Definitely the correct plastic tracks.
Never saw a Cap Imp or Hellbore with metal tracks. If you have a Cap Imp or Hellbore with metal tracks then it must be worth a fortune, maybe more than the original lead Warlord prototypes.

On the Epicollector site you linked, you can clearly see the models have plastic tracks.
