I know I'm over the 500+ amount at this point. I was probably closer to a 1000 near 5 months ago, but I've wheeled and dealed since then.

In my opinion when you have over 5000 models then thats too much

Well, I counted up my chaos army and found i have over 200 in that army alone. I have three other armies of similar size, plus loads of old minis from games like Heroquest. To make a more informed guess than before, I'd say the total is just over 1000

I imagine that I have 1000-5000 models.
But honestly going near the top (around 3000-4500 I think).

I don't even play fantasy anymore,
And I have 400 High Elf Spearmen and 400 more High Elf archers.

I have at least a few hundred marines (Just the bolter kind).

Lets not even talk Orks!!!

Question: Are 100 Grey Knights worse than 1000 regular marines?

2.5-3K

Probably. If I include everything.

647 for my main 40K forces. I don't think the other models and the stub Fantasy forces will amount to more than another 100 or so.

5-600 models.

270 SM models (Company and scouts/terminators) - including the Grey knights and DH ISTs
190 Eldar models
80 or so assorted "cyberpunk" themed minis from various games (OOP/defunct).

May be more, but that's all I can think of atm.

93 painted to tabletop standard in my current armies.

I have exactly eighty-eight.

at one point in time i had over 5000. I've since sold a significant portion of my stuff and I'd say i'm between 1 and 2 thousand. I'm working on selling more of that and trimming my stuff down to my CSM and Demon stuff and whatever I'd use for D&D if I was to actually play.

I've also curtailed my buying severely. I had more on a self imposed moratorium of all hobby stuff while I was miserable and married. That was about 4 years. Now that I'm painting again, I'm only allowing myself to buy a new unit if I have finished painting one "project" or sold a box of unused stuff.

Project is defined as one big model for apocalypse (like my Brass Scorpion i just finished) or a bunch of like models. The 25 Furies I just finished and the 40 Bloodletters I'm 98% done both count as one project each.

Can't do an exact count, at the moment, but I know I'm around 150 between my relatively small armies of Orks and SM and 40K is the only miniature game I've ever collected, so aside from a handful of miscellaneous models I made as a kid, that's all she wrote.

I'm refusing an exact count, I approximated based on what was in cases, how many roughly with how i packed the eggshell foam ones how many each had.. multiplied it, added tanks/MC's, chariots etc... It still took more time than I liked. It worries me what I'd have if I hadnt sold or gave stuff away now and then. I at least still have room for a bed just now

About a hundred, actually. About 35 CSM (my main Army, actually ), 45 orks (various AobR stuff), tyranids, Guardsmen, a few eldar...Just random stuff really.

I need to buy about 5 sets of CSM and 10 sets of guardsmen to be considered "happy"

18 people have more then 5 thousand miniatures? When is enough enough.

I voted 1000-5000.

I actually do not know the true number of miniatures that I own but my last inventory of just Battletech miniatures five years ago netted a number around 600. I have since started playing other games like Warmachine (3 full factions) 40k (see sig for how many points and of what) and Wargods of Aegyptus (2 large warbands). Plus I still buy Battletech miniatures so I have to be somewhere in the 2000-2500 range.

It is kinda gross when you lay out your addiction like that in writing.

Not sure about my Warhammer models, but I have exactly 496 Warmachine/Hordes figs sitting around.

EDIT: 497.

Upwards over 10k for myself!

5,000+ as I have collected every army fom WH40 since day 1, and just started putting my WHF army back together with DoW, not to mention all my mini's for the many RPG's.

I would have to say around 1200 minis, most are Warhammer. But alot is also for Flames Of War

228 in just under a year... Mostly Guard but with around 45 space wolf and 50 deamons

Must be over 1000, but not as many as 5000 I imagine. I have over 100 Doctor Who figures and that's just a niche interest. They're in boxes all over the place. My parents though, jeeze if you included all the historicals and the rest it's probably over 10,000, and there's a few thousand plastic kits in the attic.

Depends on the count, assembled and at least base coated ~300 (my vote). Altogether counting my unassembled back log and miniatures I've bought for bits and conversions (and no intention of ever assembling as-is) ~1000.

I really must get better at getting stuff done.

Just under the 500 mark since selling 200+ Skaven... but if I count unassembled models, it's definitely 500-1000.
I'm the sort that sells a fair bit in order to buy more, and I'd guess at 1200-1400 total models ever owned... I have a couple if hundred still on the sprue.

42 exactly, 1 beastman battilion (40) 1 Beastlord and 1 space marine (from the academy painting class.)

100-500. 208 to be exact

upwards of 500. helps the count that i collect a lot and the army i play with the most is orks! not that i have counted every last model i own, but im sure its less than a thousand.... or at least i hope so! my wife already rolls her eyes when new models show up!

I have more than 1000 Battletech miniatures alone, then three GW armies. Then all the models for specialist games. I might actually have more than 5000...

101-500 (at least), I had a lot of disposable income as a kid. Ones that I actually use for gaming or display probably comes to about 200 though. ¬¬

If we are counting Epic.....then thousands

Well over 1,000, but probalby only 1/4 of them painted.
