Has anyone found any rulesets for wargaming that are in the same vein as GURPS? Where it is easy to customize a statline for your models using an established points buy system. I know that warhammer 40k in ages past had a custom vehicle system, but it had a more limited scope then what I'm thinking.

GURPS has the advantage that they only have to sell RPG books and not models, so do not suffer from one upmanship not only from edition to edition, but from faction to faction, and there is a more consistent conceptual system spread across all their works.

Even if you try to reconcile Warhammer Fantasy by studying all the army lists, a lot of the results tend to be inspired guesswork that looks just about consistent in relation to the power that the units are supposed to wield (the results, that is; individual units when compared across books can sometimes be horribly over or under priced in this regard).
