Can't vote yet as you have not put in inquisition.
Mine are BA, CSM, Necrons and Inquisition. Also proxy to use IF allies and have tried out my BA as IH.

From the threads I've seen, Dark Angels and Orks are the most popular. Dark Vengence and new codex for Orks prolly being the main reasons. Might be that these are the only people asking questions because they're more new than the people with a soundly hammered out list

I believe (for DA and SW) they recently took it out. When you first could ally them, they had to pre-game (or postgame, can't remember) nominate two soldiers to duke out the old grudge. It was quite awesome

In the 6th ed. rule book, DA and SW weren't battle brothers, they were allies of convenience. Now all Imperium are battle brothers. Thanks GW!

Aren't Space Marines, Grey Knights, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, and Space Wolves all "the same"? I.e. they are all Space Marines. I only say this because adding them all together would IMO give a better visual indication of just how much more popular SM are than anything else.

Ok this survey has actually scared me, the only ones I don't collect are adeptus sororitas, chaos demons and militarum tempestus. Lets be honest I could probably field militarum tempestus from my guard. As for Marines i have my own chapter, crimson fists, black templars, Iron hands, Ultra Marines, Dark Angels, Space Wolves and pre heresy death guard, that is quite a lot of models! I think my hobby is way out of control!

Yup and 100% codex legal too.

I use the IG codex.

HQ I use a Lord Commissar as a Judge/Marshal of the Court with carapace armour and a power maul. I also like to add priests to some units for LD and assault buffs.

Elites I based cyber mastiffs on 40mm base and use them as Bullgryns with power mauls and slab shields. You can also add Tech Priests to taste.

Troops are Vets with shotguns and carapace armour with grenade launchers and flamers mounted in chimeras.

Fast Attack I use scout sentinels and hellhounds (nothing says "disperse citizen" like a 30m gout of flame )

Heavy support Leman Russ, exterminators (The street sweeper) I also might use Eradicators and a Punishers.

I use 2ed shotgun models with 2ed champions and 2ed grenade launchers. I also use Necromunda enforcer models for my HQ, flamer guys, priests and cyber mastiffs. Then I just use standard vehicles with some small conversions.

When you add up all the SM varients it's more than 30%, which is kind of odd considering how rare SM's are supposed to actually be in the universe. However, it's pretty in line with my personal experience.

I'm in the same boat. Orks seem like such a fun army to play on the days when I don't care if I win. It's just so expensive and time consuming to collect a "horde" army.

Space Marines - my own chapter.

Then I have a generic chaos army, which is a CDM (alpha legion) army with loads of lost and damned, cultists, traitor guard etc. and a chaos daemons allied detachment.

played dark angels when i got back into the hobby because of DV, but got a bit bored of them after a while, so moved to creating my own chapter.

Imperial Guard - my personal favorite. been building and playing different incarnations (massed infantry, mechanized infantry, armored company, AirCav, super-heavy company) since 3rd ed. Starting yet another one next one

Eldar - my very first 40k army, since 3rd ed. Mainly field either a Windrider-themed host, or a Ranger war host.

Thousand Sons - my most painstakingly painted army, also since the 3.5 ed book came out. Lately joined by some Daemon allies.

Ravenwing - since 5th ed. Just started a new project to build 3rd company DA (but I think my new IG project will trump this one )

Current Standings:
1. Space Marines
2. Chaos Space Marines
3. Orks
4. Astra Militarum
5. Dark Angels
6. Tau
7. Eldar
8. Space Wolves
9. Tyranids
10. Necrons
11. Chaos Daemons
12. Grey Knights
13. Blood Angels
14. Dark Eldar
15. Inquisition
16. Adepta Sororitas
17. Imperial Knights
18. Militarum Tempestus

In my opinion its not very surprising.

I am kind of surprised that Necrons aren't higher. The popularity of Tau and Eldar is probably at least a little to do the fact that they are a top tier army right now but I know Necrons are still pretty good too. Interesting, maybe I have to take up a Necron army .

Other than that, yeah, not surprising at all.

I used to have about 4000 points of Guard, then started Wolves in the spring. I can't play two armies though, I prefer to focus on one, so I gave my entire Guard army to my little brother.
He promptly beat my new Wolves with my old Guardsmen.

Orks and Imperial Guard for me. I like that they're the two armies that aren't all about being super-powered super beings. The guardsmen are ordinary men and women, the orks are ordinary... well, orks. Strong and tuff, sure, but not in the same class as Space Marines or Necrons or so on.

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.

Ive been a tau player since 3rd edition and picked up a smattering of other armies along the way. Its fin to experience and develop different play styles.

Orks, Dark Eldar, Space wolves. In that order.

It's amazing how chaos, AM and orks are quite popular in this poll. In my area these are not the most common armies, especially orks.

Nids only nowadays.

By my count at the moment 46% of players are in power armor. Geez.

I was thinking the same thing a space marine is a space marine, from my prospective id say 50% of warhammer 40k guys play space marines.

well, that would be about accurate as just under 50% of armies in this poll are power armor variants

I'm really surprised to see AM so high and Tyranids so low. Maybe I need to switch armies

I play AM with Inquistion support right now, but am filling in the points with Tac marines while I continue to build and buy models.

Death Guard but I do like to poach from other CSM.

Love Orks just as much as the DG, especially their vehicles.

Space Wolves are so tempting though.

If the Tyranid codices weren't written by utter morons who have no idea how to make the Nids adaptable or competitive, I'd choose Nids every time. The latest Codex is a disgrace, they get about two options each, which is like a menu where the only food choices are dog poo and fungus-encrusted bark (the latter being suitable for vegetarians). Apparently their formations are also rubbish.

What happened to being able to create mutant swarms led by Gaunts with massive heads that are plugged into the Hive Mind? What about the tooled up Carnifexes of yore that scared the hell out of everyone until they ran into Battle Sisters with AP1 bolters and AP1 missiles and cheesy Prayers of Ridiculous Might? (Yeah, don't mention the Sisters to me.)

What happened to Synapse creatures having Eternal Warrior? Why are Tyranid Warriors three times more expensive than Space Marines yet die just as easily? Even more so, with their heads sticking up over walls and bushes.

Er... yeah, sorry for the rant. I've got Death Guard and Nurgle Daemons.

Bear in mind this list mostly pertains to 3rd Ed. with a splash of 4th and 5th.

Imperial Guard
Orks
Tyranids
Tau
Chaos Space Marines (Iron Warriors AND Thousand Sons for a bit)
Dark Eldar
Eldar
Space Marines (Crimson Fists)

Sold all but the Guard, Fists, and Dark Eldar, and since the 3rd Ed. retro group is taking off, intend to build all other 3rd Ed. armies.


ESPECIALLY with plastic Sisters coming...

I play orks and space wolves. I have about 350 dollars of the metal imperial guard squads to get to. I would love to do a squat army if GW would get off their butts and make one.

I don't think that's too surprising seeing as every 40k starter box includes Space Marines.

As I have access to all the current codices I tend to play as whatever I want. I have however selected my preferred armies - Chaos, Imperial Guard, Eldar, Dark Angels/Space Marines and Necrons (only because they seem to me to be pretty easy to win with, I'm not overly keen on Necron models and I only own a Command/Annihilation Barge that is yet to be assembled).

Also helps that I own at least 100 Dark Angels infantry models plus some vehicles, a handful of Chaos and Eldar and a couple of Imperial Guard models.

IG, Chaos Marines, Grey Knights, and Tau.

I haven't played my Chaos in a while, and I'm updating my IG for an upcoming tourney. My GKs and Tau have always been pretty standard. I just think that GKs, with their access to free force weapons, and MW spam. Hold a pretty nice place in the game, right now.
