"These kits comes supplied unpainted and require assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue, Citadel Super Glue and Citadel Paints... and you're going to need lots!"

Well, they got that right!

Once it's assembled and painted ... where do you store it? ... what do you do with it!?? 28mm scale Epic anyone? :-)

I'm sure they'll get some takers, clubs or consortiums (appropriate word in this case) may buy in bulk for the discount, if there is one....

Good grief....So it was true then ?
Is that the army we saw in a link to a blog fairly recently quoting 10,000 Euros ?
Assuming you're getting a 'good deal'  =O =O =O =O and some decent discount =O =O =O =O by buying this as an already formed 'army', I wonder if it will finally open  more eyes to how unbelievably expensive their stuff is nowadays.

So you buy it, spend a large part of your life assembling and painting it, but then where do you store it or even get to have a game with it? Madness, pure madness.

I don't see anything wrong with the size - it's only a fraction of my Napoleonic collection - but the price! And for unpainted models!  :o :o :o
