Dude are you crazy-the infamous Chronopia Golden Lions?  The Warzone Golden Lions are one thing but Chronopie Golden Lions?  This guy really knows where it's at!  I'd pay triple that!  No.  Really!

I would not suppose these are some of the minis painted for the rule book images? They are awfully similar in some cases.

I don't think they are the original ones since the seller has painted everything himself. But I think they look good, but they are overpriced. I hope the seller get lucky and sells some of it for his asking price, but personally I'd rather buy a paints, brushes and other tools for $300 instead of one Behemoth. It's much more fun getting better at painting yourself.  :)

I definately agree with Nighthawk, painting minis yourself gives you a sense of accomplishment.  I feel better about a day's events if I get that feeling and not to mention a better feeling when you push the minis you painted yourself across the field of battle.  I will say that the seller(if he/she painted the minis) is not bad with a paint brush, though.

Kinda pricey. Does it include the three-four trophies it had to win to go at that price?

Well "Buy it Now" and "Best Offer" are two different things.  It comes out to 'round forty dollars a model for those guys, which I agree is too much, but someone may make him an offer for sixty bucks bringing it to sanity.

At that price I need to sell my Imperial collection. It may recover at least 50% of my 401K (now 201B plan) (Half get it?)
