about 10 or 20 models, but most of them are lotr so they aren't units. lol

Depends on the unit size now, doesn't it? Well yes I have about 80 Night Goblins still unpainted (probably more actually) - the little guys just never seem to end...
Apart from that just a couple of Trolls and a character.

1500 points of orks is still only technically 10 "units"

Let's see here... 16 basecoated termagants, about 15 kroot which I have no intention of painting, a few broken-up CSM who are being turned into Word Bearers... my WIP traitor guard, and then there's my bitz box which has a load of old WHFB stuff in.
(I don't play fantasy, I bought it all off a friend.)

My personal problem is that painting is relaxation for me... however, when I'm busy I don't get that time, so I end up buying instead, which is much poorer relaxation, but better than nothing.

I currently have around 7000 points of miniatures considering all of my armies, and about 2500 is painted...but lately i have been trying to do 1 a day and have been catching up

Three Space Wolves.

Enough for a while.

wow

I Have a crises suit some FW a Hamerhead and a lot of kroot to paint. looking forward to the holidays so I can get through some of it.

EDIT: Wow, maybe my pile doesn't look so big after all.

i have a 2200 point ork list and all are painted. i love the painting and converting part of the hobby.
i have 4 kommandos left to paint. (all four were previously painted i just wasnt happy with them. so i stripped them using the magic of SIMPLE GREEN)

Proud to say my unpainted list is down to just the dwarfs and 6 Tau. No more marines necessary. Huzzah. I'll prolly revisit them and put more shading and highlighting into them sometime in the future, but when I put my army down onto the table I'm proud to say, for the first time, I have a fully painted army. Huzzah!

Nine units to be precise. AOBR, a Vindicator and Assault terminators

Haha, that's me! I bought a Tau Firewarrior set and I've not even finished my XV25 Stealth team, or my Shrine of Aquila, or my SM Drop Pod, and now I've bought Astorath the Grim for a fine cast competition at a local, and incidentally rival, games workshop stockist haha

Got about 25 SW, and exactly 174 Cadians, including heavy weapons, sentinels, and commisars. Cant wait for those...

I need to paint a squad of tactical marines, a rhino, a predater, about 50 orks, about 80 guardsmen and 18 hvy weapon teams. On the plus side I have 30 tactical marines, 2 land raiders, 2 rhinos, 2 dreadnaughts, pedro kantor, a chaplain, 5 scouts, 5 assault marines, 5 sternguard, 20 ork boyz, 8 nobz, a warboss, 10 gretchin, 50 guardsmen and 6 hvy weapon teams all completely painted.

I have a shelving unit full of mostly unpainted miniatures, and a couple of tank boxes, 5 GW cases - including 2 double cases - full of mostly unpainted miniatures.

I voted for 20 units+ unpainted, because I wasn't sure if I had 50 or more units unpainted. But I probably do, thinking about it more, especially including vehicles as their own units. And by unit, I mean like a squad, not a model. I'm so used to thinking about units as groups of models.

I have so many unpainted things because I'm more of a wargamer than a hobbyist. I enjoy building miniatures, sure, and I enjoy painting them on occasion - which is becoming rarer and rarer as time goes on - but I don't enjoy painting enough to actually sit down over a few months, ignore the Internet - which is my main timesink these days - and get my armies painted.

I think if I were faster at painting, I'd enjoy it more. But it takes me about 45 minutes to paint a single Saurus Warrior, which are very very simple models to paint. That, plus I don't enjoy routines, so I don't have a painting habit going.

Way back, all those years ago when I was lucky if I could pick up a single infantry box every three or four months, all my stuff was painted. Mainly because I had a few months in between purchases. For the past 2-3 years I've been starting new armies and expanding my armies like crazy. I also inherited my brother's Tyranids, Chaos, and Imperial Guard armies when he quit playing...

So yeah, I've been getting loads of minis, faster than I'm painting them, because I enjoy gaming more than I enjoy painting, and I have many armies which I switch between frequently.

20+ units. Most of my IG and Tau are painted, and my old DE are painted (not the new stuff). My Templars/Stormswords are 1/4 painted 1/4 just primed and 1/2 unprimed. The Orks have a total of 1 model that is painted.
So 20+ units to go.

Wow man, can't believe how many people voted for 'pretty much my entire army' lol.

I have 2 squads of mandrakes that have yet to be primed, everything else has more than 1 colour on it though I'm still experimenting with the colour lay out on a lot of them so wouldn't dare say they're anywhere near a grade that I'd be happy with to show anyone.

I chose 20 or more, but thinking about it i have probably over 50 unpainted. nearly all are primed black, some with basic colours on them. my fully painted mini's are all uploaded on here, so i literally have 2 armies unpainted, my space wolves and my orks. BUT y ps3 died recently so i guess i'll be painting more now.

Just 4 more marines 1 dreadnought and the entire Ork army from my AoBR set to paint

Going to be busy for quite a while aren't you?

I play skaven.
I dont get much painting time.
you do the maths.

i also have an entire epic(1/300) scale force to finish and a massive fleet for BFG and my covenant based IG and my steam tank needs some work doing on it and then theres.....

These responses remind me why I quit GW - army painting is a chore!

For Malifaux I can actually field 2 completely painted crews, and its very satisfying to play with fully painted models!

2 got another 2 crews to paint..... old habits die hard I guess lol

I only have 4 models left to paint....
A Chaos Reaver Titan in WIP
A Brass scorpion in WIP
A FW Chaos terminator lord
A HoT on a chariot

Seems I am a fast enthusiast, but postpone any painting for even years later...

A lot of 1996 chaos marines, a defiler, plague marines, boromir, some minas tirith, a malifaux lady and a warhammer castle.... so much to do, so little time

7 Berzerkers completely unpainted.
A Thousand Sons themed Land Raider that is almost finished, but is getting redone a la Nurgle, so the current paintjob is void.
5 possessed, but I never run them (no one ever does, apparently) so I'm not too much worried about getting them painted. Going to be getting another battleforce pretty soon to pad out some troops choices, and then get some wings off ebay and run the ten of them as raptors.
20 pink horrors in need of detail work.
6 or 7 Thousand Sons in various stages of unpainted.
...and a WIP Tzeentch Lord in the midst of being painted.

all of my models are painted

My unpainted piles never last more than a week
