I fear it's number 3.. I tried to contact him once as he also had 5 chapters (Yes chapters i.e. 1000 marines each) + several titans from armorcast and GW for sale, but the responses I got were just downright weird. It is a shame though, seeing as how he treats the models and how little fun he seemed to have had with him.Wow . . . that's pretty horrifying.
It really is like an episode of hoarders. I dare say the painting skill all looks about the same which suggests its one strange bastard who is really painting all of this (poorly).
I can't even imagine the type of disposable income which would be required to amass such a Smaug-like mound of warhammer miniatures. There's some Dutch guy who slumbers on a pile of warhammer figures.
The only things I can imagine are:
1) he's wealthy, has a short attention span, and megalomaniacal factors
2) he's a GW manager who buys his own stock to keep his store in business
3) He's a mental case spending his assistance checks on warhammer. (I posit this sadly having worked in a FLGS where the 1st of the month a dude would come in and basically blow his welfare check on comics and collectables. Every month.)
4) maybe it's somebody collecting second hand armies, repainting them and reselling.
Well it was mostly incoherent, half sentences through the mail. When I texted him about his earlier stuff I got a reponse that he didn't really know what he wanted with it and that I should come by his house to look at the stuff. Couldn't be arsed at the time but it just gave off a weird vibe .You guys have me morbidly curious, what was so weird about his responses?
Hmmm, probably better for the better then. This indeed looks like a bit of mania to me.Well it was mostly incoherent, half sentences through the mail.

A guy owns that many little plastic toy soldiers, many of which appear to have never been painted or even assembled, and you were surprised that he was a little weird?Well it was mostly incoherent, half sentences through the mail.

I think this guy is perhaps a modern day witch from Hansel & Gretel. He lures in the gamers with deals on warhammer miniatures then eats them. Watch out if he has some crazy oven for casting or something!Well it was mostly incoherent, half sentences through the mail.
