I run orks, nids, imperial gua- astra militarum, tau and a teeny bit of space marines in drop pods to ally with my other armies and spice games up a little. Just like the OP of the poll I am extremely indecisive, but hey, I settled on a mere five armies, right guys?

The armies that I collect:

- Tyranids, 2,000 pts.
- Orks, 1,250 pts.
- Tau, 750 pts.
- Guard (PDF), 750 pts.

(Yes I have a thing for horde armies to some extent)

Wow, that is an amazingly even distribution. I really expected there to be a heavy skew towards space marines. Even adding in their different codices, it still is less than a quarter of the total.

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

29%, actually - at the moment anyway.

I was expecting around 33% so...

Interesting. If those results are representative of actual army distribution, it makes sense why GW keep buffing the less popular armies at the expense of Orks, CSM and AM.
SM are obviously immune to this phenomenon.

I collect too many armies to afford with the current prices. I never buy any of these outrageously overpriced toy soldier models, however and have come to nurture a bitter-sweet disdain for the evil-doppelganger that calls itself Games Workshop. Fortunately for me I have been collecting since...1991-92? and have since acquired loads of armies through purchase, trade or magnanimous gifting. I only ever play Chaos Daemons and/or Marines, tho because everyone plays imperial. I have one player in my troupe that exclusively plays xenos (Eldar and Tau). So I have been painting up my Blood Angels (codex space marines >cough< so i can finally smash face for the Emperahr again! I'm at probably 2-3k of losing painted models and am now focusing on stuff that I hope will actually be effective. It's surprising to see how many CSM players voted vs everything else, especially Codex Marines.

I am The Fury. The flames of my rage will incinerate you. I came back from space. As I returned, I had one vision. The world set ablaze. And do you know what I saw there? (he aims his flamethrower upwards and incinerates a group of bats) Fury! A great and terrible Fury at being alive. Now you're going to feel the scorching heat of that horrible blackness.

Eldar, Harlequins, and Corsairs... which I guess are all under the blanket Eldar?

Wierd, but not surprising, to see that the by far and away most common are SM, CSM, and IG. Orks kinda threw me though, even if they are GW's go to media bad guy/goofball.

Maybe this poll should be edited/redone to include Admech/Skitarii (are these truly different factions, or more like IG/Tempestus?) and GSC. It'd be interesting to see how quickly people are willing to go try the newer stuff.
