How insane would it be to collect and paint an entire Space Marines Chapter, say, for example... the Crimson Fists?
Very.
And yet, I am actually considering it. Let's look at the numbers, shall we, assuming that each Marine etc., has only one usual role (Intercessor, Tactical, Devastator, whatever). I will even reduce squads within companies in order to provide crew for attached transport (but let's face it - isn't that really a job for servitors? Space Marines fight, they don't drive trucks.)
