This thread is in reply to The Acolyte's thread "What is the most popular 40k army?"

I play High Elves and Tomb Kings. Mostly High Elves

I put in the three I have now, but in the future I'm looking toward Lizardmen (for their potential for monter madness) and Chaos (inspired by a brilliant Dragon Ogre conversion by Daba in the P&M threads).

DE, WE, and Dwarfs here, but I am with Vulcan in considering Lizardmen as my next army.

I'm oddly considering Orcs & Goblins as my Next WHFB army instead of finishing TKs, just gona abandon that army for the time being.

Money will stop me from starting the orcs & goblins. I dont really like orcs, but the army looks pretty funny and entertaining to play. Even though you may not win often.

I have to admit that I have a little fascination with O&G too. They have such a huge variety of troops. You can have calvary riding wolfs, spiders, squigs, or boars. You can have crazed little goblin fanatics and doom divers or big nasty armored black orcs. How about trolls, giants, and pump wagons? oh my. You can even get a lord on a wyvern. Dang it. Now I am just getting my own curiosity going.

haha ya. I am kind of interested in a all goblins army, or an all melee army based around black orcs.

Primarily DE & VC, with an Empire army on my shelf and a Daemon army WIP (which might see small Beastmen and WoC armies fielded simultaneously to kinda recreate 6th edition Hordes of Chaos).

DoC for me, though entirely Slaanesh or Slaaneshified units. Looking into Skaven, I love Skryre.

Looks like i've started a trend!

I think it would be good if they could sticky this thread.

I would have voted but I don't play WHFB :(

+1 Chaos Dwarfs

I have an all night goblins army using the foc from the 6th edition book as a guide for what units I could field.

I have an antique Dwarf Army made up of minis from 3rd/4th ed with a few newer guys here and theree to fill ranks up. I suck using this army, and it is a bit gunlinesque. A lot of warrior blocks too.

I have a really tiny Empire army that is painted, but a huge Empire army that is sitting in a box waiting, waiting, waiting.

I usually play Warriors of Chaos. I have like at least 10000 points. It is all geared towards Khorne. I never play any other Mark. I do leave a lot of my guys unmarked when gaming to maximize boots on the ground.

I've also got an Orc and Goblin Army on the go, but it is being done as Chaos Dwarfs and Chaos Halflings. Yeah, I know...

Dark Elves but I've dabbled in Vampires and Lizardmen.

Getting into Bretonnians and possibly Dwarves at the same time.

I play Empire, but at my gaming club we have 3 vampires, 2 Chaos Warriors, and 5 lizardmen. Getting a little sick of playing lizardmen.

Interesting result, back in my final days playing fantasy you couldn't move for Bretts and Lizards, then again, they were the two armies that came with the box.

And stay in there!

Dark Elves here, by the way, but with a touch of Slaanesh.

Empire and dwarfs, only ever use my Empire now till dwarfs get a new army book. There so boring to play with their current book.

Hurray for being part of the 2% that play brets and ogres!!!

DoC

Far too many at my store (around 5) and they're there every day.

Guess what 2 of them play (hint, it loves to Change, without the changing part)

Honestly? Dark Elves.

It's impossible for there to be less than at least 2 Dark Elf players at a store, and at the worst you might have upwards of 6.

ogres, skaven and dogs of war lol

Currently....

O&G, Lizardmen, VC, Dwarfs (slayer cult)
Am building Empire and High Elves


I have played every single army listed above, smallest being ogres with about 1500 points before selling them on as they were pretty lame (pre-rhinox cav).

i normally play 40k, but just started a warriors of chaos army because the khorne lord on juggernaught tricked me into buying it and some warriors... and an army book.

Ogres, Skaven, Warriors of Tzeentch, and working hard to not start Beasts until those three are painted. Playing Skaven right now (will have 2250 painted for an RTT this weekend) in larger games and WoC in my club's escalation league, but I'm honestly really jonesing to get my ogres painted to 2k (close!) and play some games with them, poop book or not.

- Salvage

I have just started playing Dwarfs , but i am planning on maybe starting a few others , possibly Skaven orDark Elves in the future

Same. Just starting soon with dwarfs. Might go for beastmen some time.

I have the following armies but dont get to play with them much: Mostly 3-4000 pts worth (or more)

High Elves
Dark Elves
Vampire Counts
Skaven
Empire
Orcs
Tomb Kings
Ogres
Lizardmen

bits and pieces for most of the others

I hear the new edition is less finicky which would suit me

For me I have a 4k Vampires Army and a slowly growing all chariot and tomb scorpion Tomb king army

About 3-4K empire (I lost things =( ) and 2250 orgres, and about 2000 straight Dogs of War. Empire is entirely painted, ogres are not.
