How many armies do you have that you consider 'done' or near enough done (if such a thing is possible)? Perhaps just count it as legal, tournament sized armies?

Some of these armies date back one, if not two codexes. Getting them tournament ready could call for a bit of "creativity" with the army lists.

I voted for 5, as my Epic IG can't really operate independently (only 1 infantry company) so I lumped them in with my SM. I also forgot about the huge BFG Imperial fleet that I bought fully painted (for less than retail too, back in 2002). So should probably be 7.

I currently have my Tau completed to a playable size of 1500-2000 points. I have 2800 points altogether of them.
I'm currently working on a Demonhunters army and building it up to 1500-200 points. I might grab a thing here or there and expand my tau still.
Next year I'll probably start a Witch hunters army as well. It's in the planning stages and I can use DH and WH together as well as with any other imperium army I decide to play as allies (unless a new codex comes out).

Post by: artyboy
If by complete you mean that I have all of the units that I need to field the army at any points that I'd feasibly want to play them at then I have 5 complete armies. I could use a few more units in each of them to really round things out but I could field a competitive list in any game up to 3k with 5 different armies.
40k:
Orks - 6500++ points painted. Heavily converted. This army will never be finished because I have a tendency to get sick of old conversions and paintjobs and update them.
Salamanders - This army is complete but it's not finished. It's mostly unpainted and I still need more units to fill it out but I have more than enough to field a competitive list up to around 2500 or 3k.
Fantasy:
Vampire Counts - This is another army that'll never be finished. I can field well over 3k fully painted but you can never have enough ghouls/skeletons/zombies. I only have around 60 painted skeletons, 40 painted ghouls and maybe 60 painted zombies. As for the rest of the army, I have everything that I'd ever want to field (in the current incarnation) fully assembled and painted.
Lizardmen - I could easily field a competitive 3k list with what I've got. About half of it is painted. The only thing that I'm really missing is a couple of engines of the gods to put it over the top.
Dark Elves - This is the army that I'm currently working on. I've got everything that I could ever possibly want to field except perhaps a third hydra and maybe a third pegasus riding sorc.

Post by: BrassScorpion
I think the poll at the top of this topic only tells part of the story. It would be interesting to compare the numbers of armies people have collected with the number of years they've been in the hobby. According to the poll, the great proportion of people responding only have 1 or 2 armies, but I wonder how many of those have only been in the hobby a year or two.
It would also be interesting to know how many people with only 1 or 2 armies have had others in the past but sold them, because there are a number of hobbyists who ditch a finished army by selling or trading it before starting another.

I don' t think duration makes that much difference - I did the bulk of my painting within the first few years.
Everyone is different and everyone's hobby is different. I've been in the hobby 20 years and I build and paint just as much in a year now as I did back then, more if I am able. Most of the veteran hobbyists I know, people who've been into GW models for say 10 years or more, all have huge backlogs and we bang away at getting them built and painted constantly. For many people, that is the hobby. For some of us, there's always another project, another fun idea, to build and paint and as soon as we're done one it's on to another.

I've never tallied up my points totals for either army. Both are playable, in theory, in decently sized groups (ok, not THAT big, but I can field a SM force well above the 500pt game I played, and orks outnumber SM by a stretch), but I don't yet have default lists for a 'standard' or 'tourney' setup. I'll go for the easiest way to count 'finished' armies - how much is painted. Right now, I'm at about 8pts of orks (that is to say, I have 3 boyz that are almost done being basecoated).

I will define "complete" as "not too many broken figs fielded and can usually get everything on the table without proxies".
Lessee...mine in 40K
- IG
- Orks (if I just glue the battlewaggon back together again....)
Counting the ones I helped the kids' buld and are thus available for use:
- DE
- Eldar
- SM
- Necrons
Fantasy:
- High Elves
Historical:
- Carthage
- Late Roman/Early Byzantine
- WW2 USA (plus some Italians)
- WW2 South African
(For the history buffs the SA 6th Armoured Divn fought in the US 5th Army in Italy, which also had the Italian Royalist troops on side - allows you to use British, US and Italian kit on the same table)
What is more scary though is the realisation that (after this survey) is the "to finish" list is large:
40k
- Tau
- Chaos Space Marines "Lost and the Damned"
Fantasy
- "She Who Must be Obeyed" Lost World/Darkest Africa (plays as Dark Elves in WHFB )
Hstorical:
- Normans (will also be used as Bretonnians in WHFB...)
- Seven Years War French
- WW1 Greeks
- 1890's Pre-Dreadnought Brits, French & Russians fleets

Chaos - No solid list sizes; lists vary from 500pts to 2000pts but it's far from a complete army.
WHFB:
Lizards - 2000pts list of models I have, 2500pts in list form only; incomplete.
WoC - 1500pts in list form, 1000pts list of stuff I have; far from complete.

about 2. Orks and SM
Every other force is too small to be considered an "army" or is just filling my "collection"

A few....

40k Ork (Kult of Speed) not sure if they count as a second army but they are a stand alone army list not comprising any of the above....

...Revised...
I can now say I have two complete armies,as I've "finished" buying stuff for my Orks (4000+points),and I've "scaled down" my Death Guard a bit (roughly 4500 points).
However..I now have three WIP armies going at the same time,an SM army I'm helping my son to build,a Slaanesh based CSM force I'm working on for the Missus and my own budding Praetorian IG force.

I've got two armies I can play with, but neither are fully painted yet.
I'm waiting for the release of the next Sisters/Eldar codex before I start up a new army, and I'm thinking about doing a Krieg kill team or something in the mean time.

I've sold every army I owned recently as I've moved onto Malifaux (which is great!)
The only army I've kept is my beloved Dark Elves which come in at around 4,000pts.
With Malifaux I have complete Lady Justice and Pandora crews.

I went ahead and said one. I had originally about 1500pts of Tau (sold them) and currently have 2k+ CSM. I think most of us agree that no army is ever "complete", and that being said I will be expanding my CSM until I can field at least 2k of Nurgle, Khorne, or Tzeentch as I please.
Then it's on to the renegade guard.
Sometimes I hate this hobby...

1: Dark Elves, between 2000 and 3000 points. None of the rest of my collection is included as they have not been tested in battle or are even a remotely cohesive or balanced build. Got some Empire lying about, quite a few Spess Mehereens (mostly infantry), 2 CSM HQs and a single squad of troops, a smattering of Eldar Aspect Warriors and a single Avatar, the Orks from Black Reach, a single Lelith Hesperax model and a few Lotr minis.
Of course, I could include my Dystopian Wars fleet to this as well, but I wouldn't consider it 'done' as I have yet to get any land forces or the Dreadnought (it's just a starter box and a few flyers) and I have no idea what the tourney limit is.
The same would go for my INFINITY models, but in addition I've only assembled 3 out of the 6 in the box set.

I have full armies (meaning 2500+ pts and all assembled) of Space Orks (all painted), Thousand Sons (all painted), Grey Knights (Mostly painted, when will I get to painted those last seven termies?) and Skaven (about half painted, 200+ models is a lot of work :/)
Is it bad that I already want to get a Warriors of Chaos army going?

You can finish any army by have every model possible to field in every slot. I'm not recomending this, but I almost achieved this with my necrons. I have 10 lords, one of each wargear variant I use. I have both C'tan. I have over 30+ immortals, 10 Paraiah and over 20 Flayed Ones. I have 120 warriors. I have over 9 Wraiths, over 20 Scarabs, and over 15 Destroyers. I have only 6 H-Destroyers, and Tombspiders, but I have 4 monoliths. To complete the army I needed to buy 6 more Flayed Ones. 4 More Scrabs. 3 HDestroyers, and 3 Tombspiders.
That's as close as I've ever gotten to completing any army. As for the poll answer, I just included those armies I can field in any tournament 2500pts or below.

Aw, don't be sad. Huggle the cuddlefex. You'll feel better after a nice snuggle.
4 (the 3 whfb elves, eldar), but I only consider them done because I stopped using them. An army you're still using is never done.

Black Templars, one crusade's worth;
Pre 2011 Inquisition ( not grey knights), every figure bar one;
Ultramarines, about 2 companies last time I looked;
SoB: about 2 troops worth, tagged onto my inquisitors;
IG: A LOT, in fact too many now. I just built a 8X4(feet) gaming table to try a shot for the army showcase thread, and had finished laying out tanks when I noticed I NEED ANOTHER 8X4 for the infantry.

Post by: Locclo
Personally, I find it really hard to believe that over a hundred and fifty people have seven or more complete armies...
I voted 0, if only because I feel that no army is ever really complete. One guy at my FLGS has played Orks since 2nd Edition (about 90% of his army is 2nd edition models, minus a few recent additions) and he's still adding models to his army.
The problem I see is that unless you have truly mastered your army's tactica, you'll always find new ways to play them, new ways to abuse unit combinations, and of course, new fluffy army lists to run.

I used to have:
Eldar
Tyranids
I could regularly play fully painted armies with these.
currently, I only have my Space Marines that are fully painted, athough ... I'm constantly working on the final cleanup/basing stages. I figure, get the models playable, then clean up super-fine details as I make time for it.

If I finish my tiny squads of space marines for kill team, would they count as complete? i suppose they would because they're compete for the task and the game i intend them for, even if they wouldn't be for other games.
So my answer is zero for now, but hoping for one soon!

I voted 7+, but not because I'm done with those armies, but rather because they are playable, complete tournament-standard (in terms of points) armies for their respective systems.

Dark Angels
Khorne Daemonkin
Tau Empire
Lord of the Rings SBG:
Good (definitely more Dwarves than anything)
Evil (various factions, but combined they are a complete force, if not terribly good)

I've got tons of stuff all over a variety of games, so hitting that 7+ was super easy
Whole faction of Outcasts in Malifaux, but I own 9 masters across 2 factions (all 8 Outcasts and Misaki/Lynch makes 2 Thunders)
For Batman I have huge amounts of stuff. I can play Brave and the Bold, Suicide Squad, Bat-Family, Secret Society, Amazons and Riddler and have nothing overlap, with tons of options for each
DC Universe there's a lot of overlap with BMG, but there's also a lot that I've bought purely for DCU. I can run multiple full sized lists in that too, completely tournament viable (as much as that exists in DCU) and again, have no overlap between lists.
I also own a full This Is Not A Test warband (Raiders/Tribals), 1000 points of British Airborne for Bolt Action, PanO and Steel Phalanx for Infinity, Dark Angels/Assassins/Inquisition for 40k and Skaven in Blood Bowl
