Well, that’s just the point: The only way you could possibly represent the rather massive differences between, for example, Space Marines and Imperial Guardsmen – which are NOT really reflected in the stat line – is in 6 mm or perhaps 10mm scale, because you would need to field at least 10 times more Guard than Marines, 100 times would probably be even closer to the background fluff.

Elven armies could then consist of a few dozen models or stands, easily bought and painted in a week or two, Orc armies would number in the thousands. Kill the piggy bank and break out the green spray paint…..

I recall quite a few Chaos armies – Warhammer in Easy Mode – that had lots of Warriors and Knights and Demons – but no Marauders. According to the fluff, Chaos Warriors are the CHOSEN FEW from among the Marauders, Chaos Knights the CHOSEN FEW from among the Warriors. Stat creep meets power gaming.
