Nice, keep building.

7000+ of Eldar

Wow, that's quite a lot.

It's hard to say how many points you really have in this game...

Something like:
5000 in Space Marines
4000 in Tau
3000 in Chaos Daemons

That many points doesn't really amount to a ton of models, though. Except for the Tau (their vehicles are so huge and awkward!) each army fits in a single case.

Really? Nice. Tau vehicles are huge.

Not ALL of them, but yes, the MANTA MISSILE DESTROYER is a yard or so across.

8K Vanillar Marines

1k Imperail guard

3k orks

I've always been fascinated by these sorts of questions as I'm never really sure what criteria anyone actually uses to classify the info.

That said - I've always sort of wanted to know the answer for myself - so here's to trying. Here's the rules I ended up using;

1. Field-able squads - I don't care if I happen to have that random extra dude with a Heavy Weapon, if I can't field him as part of a squad then I can't really field him, so he doesn't matter.

2. FoC be damned - it's just about what I can field.

3. Field them as I do - Yeah, I could get more points by adding extra upgrades to squads, but if it's not something I would actually do (like NS on Raiders - which I only do in specific lists) then I'm not doing it.

4. Most expensive load outs possible - I have a few things that I field in a variety of ways, when possible I do use the more expensive option (so, My Dias of Destruction which I also field as a Ravager - now it's a Dias, same goes for some of my 'counts as' stuff - like an Archon figure I also use for Sliscus)

5. I really respect the people who have their armies fully painted. I'm counting everything that's assembled and at least has paint on it - so basecoat counts, but sitting in a bitz box does not.

Let's go;

Dark Eldar (prime army): 7,568 (fun factoid - over 2,000 points of HQs alone...what the fug?)

Orks: 6,047

Space Marines: 10,200
- Raven Guard: 3,200
- Imperial Fists: 4,000
- Space Wolves: 3,000

Craftworld Eldar: 8,608 (includes a Revenant Titan - my only 'Apocalypse' model)

Necrons: 3,463

Grand total of everything - 35,886 not an unreasonable showing of nerd potential methinks.

Interesting exercise. I think what I really learned is that it's silly the amount of points that Marines come out to - I could fit all my Space Marines easily into the space my DE fill, and I would have space left over - and yet the Marines are worth substantially more points. Same with the Orks - I've got a stupid huge pile of Orks, and yet there they are, pretty darn affordable at around 6k. (my Necrons do more than half of that? Those dudes fit in like 1 box - it's silly)

So, I think after looking at all of this I have two thoughts;

Anyone with more than 6,000 worth of Orks and not using any Apoc units...holy cow, I salute you and your shelf space!

Also, I don't think anyone yet has more DE than me - so...huzzah for me! My paper planes shall blot out the sun!

Wow, massive armies!

Actually the Necron one is silly small - they just look impressive when you own both C'tan and more Pariahs then you'd like to admit to.

Ya, but still a ton of points.

Without upgrades probably only around 2500 of Tau.

I have around 4k tyranids!

Tyranids! 4k must be a lot of Nids...

A quick question for you guys who have 10k+ of a single army: Have you ever fielded the whole lot?

A huge game like that sounds awesome, even with how long it woukld take to finish lol

I have done an 16,000 point team game (4,000 to a side) using my DE and ignoring Force Org. It was a lot of fun and actually didn't take much longer than a regular game, though we all made conscious decisions just to bring more expensive and fancier options as opposed to 'more' options.

I once played in an 100k points match.

Does anybody here have over 20k points?

Remember me guys

Over 50,000 points of Cadian IG (including 3 Warhounds and 6 Baneblades)

AND

Over 50,000 points of Ultramarines (including over 30 Rhino variants)

Some nice armies here

Mik

Built and painted since 5th edition came out:
(points based on how the units are normally fielded)
8K of C:SM

3.5K of C:Orks

2K of C:IG

2.7K of C:BA
(don't have a group photo yet)

I have more guard in progress at the moment.

From past editions, I have a couple of companies of marines.

Just over 2000pts (around 2100ish) of Tau and will be starting Blood Angels soon hopefully today if I get some off ebay.

Added together my Armies come up to about 130,000

Hm, I know I posted with an estimate earlier, but now I've gotten curious... I simply MUST remember to total up my armies when I get home. That won't be for about another week, though.

Edit: It'd also be useful for insurance purposes, in case of some natural disaster taking out the house. Of course, by then, we'll have much bigger issues on our hands than just ruined minis.

130k is a massive amount.

1000+ Orks, and.....

That's it!

Hm, best be collectin' more!

about 3000 worth of blood angels (if you're including random space marines painted red)

It depends on what kind.

Does anyone have over 100k?

Read previous posts on this page. ^_^ You replied to someone who has 130,000 points of models.
