For right now I've put down IG and SM... but if I don't get rid of the few ork and tyranid bits that I have I may start a little bit of those... really I wouldn't mind collecting a bit of each. There's something from each of the races that looks keen.

I really don't get why people play with space marines. First they NEVER look as cool as csm and on battlefield they are good at running away (FOR THE EMPEROR...we run away) and the models should only used as base decoration.

If GW keeps selling space marines they'll keep making them. Do you see the problem here? If marines keep selling they'll keep making a new special character every 4 months and just about everything else, all of which is all a lot cooler than marines, will continue to languish.
Fight the power, vote for something kool.

I don't really get why you would post such an obviously loaded statement that amounts to nothing more than simple trolling.
Can we get a mod to delete his post and then edit any reference to his post by me in this post?
I collect and play:
Orks
Space Marines
Imperial Guard
I do have models for:
Chaos Daemons
Tau Empire
But I didn't select those in the poll as I have so few, and really just wanted to paint a couple units and check out the kits. I'd like to start Armies for both Tau and Daemons (as well as CSM) sometime down the road, but we're talking maybe by the time 6th edition comes out.

It is multiple choice, you can choose as many as you want when it is square checkboxes. Circular radio buttons mean one choice, square means multiple.

I voted DE and Tau. IMHO the two most unique armies with play styles dramatically different from all the others.
Though I started with Tyranids, I can't say that I play or collect them anymore. In fact I should get rid of all my slowed 2nd ed Nid models...

Post by: Mohsar198
I play Eldar, Orks and Tyranids...
@Lagduf: The SM are being sold the most, so they get the most updates. It's just a fact... about half the income of GW is SM or SM related... just look at the last 3 startersets, all three of them include SM, mostly ultramarine....
Some of the other armies like Orks were a bit abandoned(before new codex btw..) and SM kept getting new characters and extra updates...

Post by: phantommaster
I play Necrons and Daemonhunters. I chose these because they seem a lot different from all the other armies, and are very underrated. I also have a Carnifex that my grandma bought me, although she was going to buy a Monolith at first, she thought the Carnifex loooked scarier!!!

It's one of those 'chicken & egg' scenarios, isn't it?
GW does need to break the cycle but I think that they won't. They're too busy making money off of the same tired old thing. At this point I feel it's mainly our responsibility to make noise and not buy so much marine stuff.
And I definitely agree with your 'multiples' idea for this poll...

Post by: I Don't Play the Game
I walked into the Gamesworkshop just to buy pieces for a chess set I was building. Before I know it, I bought a 500 pt Black Templar army. I only played with them for 2 games. I realized I enjoyed converting and painting them a lot more than playing with them. Since my first army was not that great of a paint job, I sold them at the last local Bizarre Bazarre. I now will only paint for competitions. I think of all the things I can do with an army - as in conversions - build and paint my ideas and then move on to the next army. Unless the competition catagories want something specific, then I will drop my current project and work on the competition entry. Just think when I get done with all my ideas, all the bitz I will have left. EBAY......

I have a huge Panzer division of Squats. I haven't played 40K in like 15 years and stopped when they got rid of them. It was really puzzling to me at the time because squats were heavy represented in Rogue Trader and the first few years of 40K. But soon it was all about the Ultra marines, Space Wolves, Salamanders (then Dark Angels) and Blood Angels and anything else that could be painted bright red, yellow or blue.
I miss the squats. Maybe they'll make a comeback...

The majority of my SM are likewise that old. Eldar, SM, DH and WH and starting guard. Never played chaos, orks, bugs (of any stripe - they just never appealed) and WILL NEVER play or collect them.

Started off with Blood Angels, then went over to Chaos. They've both expanded greatly over the years and Chaos now includes Daemons and Lost and Damned. The next army I started after Chaos was Necrons, cos I wanted Xenos and wanted an army that'd be quick to assemble and paint, since I was focusing so much on converting Chaos minis. Finally, last year, I started Eldar.

I stick to one army, the Eldar. When I got into the game, they were the best looking vehicle units, and their fluff was awesome(well, the Fall not so much). Their playstyle has required better generalship that others on a regular basis, so it isn't an 'idiot army'.
I'm not the guy that plays the 'current powerhouse' list, or have 3-4 to choose from and pick the most powerful out of them to play in tournaments. I play my Eldar. When they suck...I play my Eldar. When they're powerful...I play my Eldar...but still a fluffy list, so no Falcon/Harlie or other moronic things to take advantage of the ruleset at the expense of anything that resembles Eldar storyline.

I run a sizable Witch Hunters force with guard allies-though its rather dated and I don't care for the metal models, so it rarely sees the light of day nowadays-, a rarely used swamp world Tau force with various alien allies that collect to experiment with more outlandish sci-fi conversion-jetbikes, jetbikes, jetbikes- and every one like swamps, and a cityfighting Imperial Guard force that has gradually been taking more and more influence from the Kerebos Saga's universe- it all started when I was looking for an idea for carapace armour... Other than the three main ones I have a small force of true-scale space marines that I made once upon a time for fun and as alternative allies for my Inquisition, a load of Inquisition troops- the chance for converting was just too much-, and the remains of an Undivided/Nurgle Chaos Space Marine force that was lost during a house moving. =P

Since I posted on page one a fair while ago, the Imperial Guard has been canned for another two years.
My Orks leap frogged the CSM to become my main army, and now sits (or is that stands, probably waagh's around the gaming cabinet?) at a healthy 3-4k in points. With two battlewagons, four trukks and plenty of boyz, Kans, various elite units and a lovely Scratch built Deff Dread that was my Christmas prezzie off Aurelia last year.
I have also just returned to Eldar as I noted in a thread in 40K discussions. They will be my second army for the time being, if not potentially my main army as my Boyz get put to one side as I fancy a different play style.
Although I will be taking my Orks to Lenton for the Doubles Tournie in Feb.
My CSM where moved out to the bedroom cabinets, which pretty much means they are in storage.

I have :
A very Warriors and Destroyers Necron army, with 2 Liths, Nightbringer and several lords. When plastic elites come out someday i'll expand further, but $14.00 for a non-character single model is a bit much. 4000 points, more or less.
Nids- Hive fleet Beltucader. I was out of 40k for about 10 years, and the Hive Mind drew me back in, shortly before it got Cruddaced... Maybe 3000 points?
Orks- Stupid numbers of Orks, I swear that they're breeding in my game room when I'm not looking (the ork way- a good scrap then grow from spores..) as i keep finding boyz mixed in with my other armies. Perhaps 8000 points worth?
Tomb Kings- just because I love undead. Maybe 1000 pts.
Tau- a small force that i never could seem to play right, and am in the process of selling.
Dark Eldar- a few models to tinker with
I also used to have Grey Knights and Sisters, but recently sold them on.
*edit- 10,980 pts of Orks, assuming everything as wysiwyg, rather than maxed out options. They're breeding i tell you!*

So far I have only painted 5 assault marines, and I'm thinking a lot about starting either an Ork KoS or a CSM "The Purge" army.

I started out with a bunch o' Marine tanks, but the Forge World Elysian Drop Troops have been catching my eye. I picked up an SWS squad and it's about 50% painted, and I can say for sure that if I ever have a fieldable army, it'll be Aircav Guard. Those models are damn sexy, and I love the WWII paratroopers look to them. Otherwise, I just have a bunch of cool stuff, although a little Marine heavy right now. I'll probably just be collecting cool models from here to eternity. Wants include a Wraithlord, a Leman Russ, some Killa Kans, Reaver Jetbikes, and a Valkyrie.

I don't play 40k, I just love painting the models, but at the minute I'm bolstering my Tau collection. Space Marines are limited with 'cool' looking models, so I went for Tau because I had more freedom to paint the stealth suits/firewarriors. They're different to paint because of the in-game cultural differences.

Tau, IG, SM, in that order. My neighbor just gave a platoon sized plastic Squat set....i will fold those into my existing IG army as a IG Platoon.... One question was what are the Heavy Weapons that the Squats have? Look like a shoulder mounted Heavy Bolter or Stubber? and how to use in current rules?

Post by: Field Marshal Wiley
Make Squat veteran squads or maybe conscripts if he really has that many and use the heavy weapons as heavy weapon squads they would always be in cover hahah iam pretty sure the old squats came with a heavy bolter but i don't see why you couldn't just say its a squat autocannon. On another note i miss Lost and the Damned traitor guard isn't the same at all le sigh ....Still fun though haha

I am an ORK at heart. Was my very first army 10 years ago when a bunch of people in my first unit in the army (1/3 ACR ADA BTRY) got me into playing 40k. Everyoneone and I mean everyone played SM
There where White Scars, Ultramarines, Dark Angles, Blood Angles, Space Wolves and a few home brew armies but they where all primed the main color and that was it. They mostly liked the game not the hobby.
Myself wanted to do something different and picked up some orks. Fell in love with the green bastards. And they are fun to paint. I do have some SM but mostly from the AoBR set.

Currently only Necrons, but have plans/started conversions on several other projects including..
- Chaos daemons Nurlge/Tzeentch
- IG Vostroyan
- Tau "Sengoku jidai" style
- Ork Freebootaz
We'll just have to wait and see what the future holds

Started with DE in January, picked up a SM contemptor & assault boarding captain at GDUK. DE will be my main force, I can just see 'em being more fun to play with, I'll build up a small SM force but mainly for my mates to try a game with at my place and because I like the miniatures Automatically Appended Next Post: I keep toying with the idea of Chaos Guard too, though this won't happen any time soon

I chose these because they seem a lot different from all the other armies, and are very underrated.
I also have a Carnifex that my grandma bought me, although she was going to buy a Monolith at first, she thought the Carnifex loooked scarier!!!
Necrons and daemonhutners (I assume you mean grey knights now) are not under rated. They are prety strong armies with a variety of good ways to play them.

Tau and BT. Whose idea was it to include Kroot Mercs, Genestealer Cults, Squats, Lost and the Damned, and Adeptus Mechanicus on the list but not BT?! None of those 5 are core armies nor do they even have codices yet you chose to put them up instead of real, viable groups such as BT and DA (even though they are still the same "race" as SM).

lol, I'm a bit of a butterfly here. I voted for: IG (main, 3 contigents), SM (main, 2 contigents), Dark Eldar (interest, update it every half year or so), Eldar (weird thoughts on this, got Warlocks for my birthday so I got the battleforce. never finished assembling), Necrons (cool, new phase) and Tyranids (have wanted these for 2 years, never got around to them) Oh, and CSM (sorta main, haven't finished assembling) Bleh. Oh, and none of these contigents are above 2500 points. Only if they are mixed, or allied

The bulk of my army is a big force of Black Templar Space Marines (That I play as C:SM because the Black Templars are so gimped)
I also own a large detachment of Word Bearer Chaos Space Marines (a ton of foot soldiers, but no vehicles except for the Hellbrute)
I've also got what amounts to a full necron army minus the appropriate number of troops, I have everything else though
Then I have miscellaneous Imperial Guard, Tyranid, and Orks that I purchased because they looked cool and I needed them for my Deathwatch RP that I run

I'm currently working on collecting Orks, Chaos (Alpha legion). Space marines (Mantis warriors&Lamenters). It's a lot of diffrent races and armies i know but it prevents me from going bored with just painting one army/race all the time.
