Fantasy, 40k, Battlefleet Gothic, and Warmaster all combined...ugh...at least 1,000 unpainted. Let's estimate 1,250. Then there are those that I still haven't assembled...

Active armies, still collecting and painting First and greatest love - Orks, Orks, and more Orks largest pile of shame, so many tanks unassembled most complete and painted beautiful models, couldn't resist the swarm will consume all
Armies in disrepair: nothing new since 5th edition oh how I want to revive, but mostly old fantasy demons and some glorious Soul Grinders in need of love

Way too many to count, I much rather like to focus on the projects at hand and wilfully ignore the rest for the sake of my sanity.

Right now that's three tanks, fifty infantry of various sorts, three Knights and assorted Adeptus Mechanicum models.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Due to the BaC box i have lots of unpainted minis.
I think i will get rid of them since i hate to paint Marines. Just a stupid task.

This is why I love my move over to skirmish games. My backlog, while it grows, actually shrinks as well. Because I've been playing a Malifaux league I've had the motivation to paint stuff and I've knocked 8 models off in the last 3 weeks while adding only 2.

Good lord, I forgot about my epic collection. It's not a horrible amount (The original Space Marine boxed game, additional box of marines and Eldar), but the infantry are so damn tiny and my eyesight is starting to slip...

40K: I haven't looked in years, but about 50 guardsmen.
DZC: 2 UCM Scimitars, 1 UCM Condor
Other: 10 TNT minis, about the same in goblins for RPGs, plus about 5 metal minis for RPGs.

Total: ~70 miniatures

Oh, plus a fairly big Dropfleet pledge coming in July(ish) if they keep their schedule. That should add 20 frigates, 4 battlecruisers, and 9 cruisers, for a total of nearly 100....

I'd completely forgotten about the guardsmen until now, I should probably get rid of them...

I have to check when I get home, but I think the last time I checked, I have around ~50 miniatures to paint still. Some of which I might not even do because I might be interested in trading some of them.

Gah!
DECADES of collecting (mainly 40k).
Qty is bad enough but size as well.
Heck some 30+ BOXES of models to build never mind paint.
Yeah, it will be silly time counting JUST the unassembled models.

Hmmm best guesses:

40k:
IG/AM: 250+
GK: 80+
Inq: 50+
SM-BT: 400+
CH-SM: 300+
CH-Da: 50+

Total(ish): 1130 (conservative, for sure more).

Battletech
~100 models

Robotech
~120 models

Malifaux
(Almost done though!)
10 models.

Bolt Action
60 models

So about 1420 total?
