3000 pts of IG split into a 1500pts mechanized force and a 1500 foot force. I have more in total, but I would rarely ever use ALL my models in any army.

Just started a Salamanders army...have about 500pts so far.

Pretty cool. I love split armies.

I can help you with that...

About 5000 points of Blood Angels, and Tyranids. I'm done adding to my Blood Angels but the Tyranids are going to end up around 7500 by the time i'm done with them.

Oh yeah, and my IG is a split mech force, with a dedicated 12 unit sentinel company.

Nice, and you need a huge army for Tyranids...

Just topped 2500 i think.
Ork hordes are ready for some action.

Nice, have a lot of boyz, I presume....

Only like 60 actually, the points get stacked with nobz, bikes and some big tanks.

Still a fair sized army.

Roughly 7000 points in Orks (enough for a footslogging build, a trukk mounted build, a wagon rush build, a nobz focused build, a bike heavy build, at least one of each elite unit and HQ (multiple lootas, Meks and Bosses) and some misc heavy support.)

And around 1600 in Crimson Fists.

The Fists are 75% painted, the Orks, probably about 65%.

Wow, 7k is a lot. Sounds good for apocalypse.

Do people actually field a full army of boyz?
180 boyz for like 1000 points would be pretty damn fun to play.

I've fielded an army of boyz (180) and Nobz (30) before.

Squeaky tide (180 grots) is also hilarious

The largest army you could have of just ork boyz and foot soldiers is 317 guys.
An endless table of boyz.

My favoured build is a Big Mek 120 boyz, 16 lootas (in two squads), 15 Kommandos (with Snikrot) and some Grotz with however much is left over.

It does okay, the biggest problem is heavily mechanised armies- popping the tanks isn't a problem, but when they explode and kill a third of the boyz in the mob, and then you get shot/charged, that is!
I could run 180 boyz but I think having a few specialist mobz makes it more interesting. I'd put in a mob of stormboyz if I was going any higher in points.

I've done 7 trukks before, too. Warboss on bike, Meganobs in a trukk, 6xSlugga boyz in trukks with rockets, and some buggies. Worked a charm in 4th, not so great now (can't hide the trukks!)

Another fun build is Elite Orks. Take two bosses, a Nobz squad and a meganobz squad, season with Kommandos, Lootas and Burnas in a Battlewagon. This was a joke build I put together that was suprisingly effective!

I need to do a new army listing, but I have at least 4000pts worth of Space Wolves (it's probably closer to 4500pts now). I also have just over 2000pts worth of Tyranids.

A really hilarious one is when you have your table half in some missions chockablock with greenies, and win the first turn against a deep-striking or outflanking army. You can pretty much force them into a thin strip at the back of their edge, with luck, especially if yuou included 3 squads of kommandos to infiltrate and (if you have snikrot's ladz) ambush up the rear..

I ended up one time having a daemons player having his units pop up in a 12 inch wide strip of table, 4 feet across Awesome battle. as his daemons fought for breathing room in the green flood..

Greentide is also awesome for objective games

120 boyz is a lot! Also, my Dark Angel CM is amazing for objective matches.

Army wise i have no idea collectioni have 7500pts of vanilla marines. 15000pts of imperial gaurd ( including 5 superheavies) 2500pts of SoB i think about 3000 orks and same for nids pluss loads of points for 3 warhounds and 2 reavers. So i would estimate within the 30000pts mark

I have what my sig says. That plus the genestealers from Space Hulk and what ever amount of Orks you get from the AOBR. And a few hundred Lotr figures a cousin gave me at some point.

Okay i'll sound off as well:

About 10-11,000 points of Tyranids (including a bio titan and 2 hierodules)
2550 points of Necrons (Deciever and nightbringer, though, so only 2250 fieldable)
And about 4000 points of Tau (Haven't tallied it all up yet, recieved a huge army in trade for some space wolves last month).

3900pts of Dark Angels (my own successor chapter called the Halo Watch)

2010pts of Imperial Guard (a mixed regiment representing several regiments combined together) or 3030pts if you count my Baneblade and Hellhammer

Lets see...

2400 pts of CSM

500 pts of IG (actually, just some tanks left over. My twin had a rampage and destroyed over 60 guardsmen and my covnerted renegade Karskin... D'

1000 points of Daemons and the usual mixture of random races sprues and bitz all collectors seem to aquire.

Hi have 3000pts of space pups and 500pts of pre heresy world eaters.

Space Pups? Ah, I love Pre-Heresy armies.

About 2000 points of Nids and 300 points of DE

I have no idea. Do you count base model cost? Cost of modeled weapons? I probably have at least 5k of Eldar and 10k of Blood Angels, Chaos, and Imperial Guard
I could put a solid down payment on a house for what I've spent, although spread over 15 years

I just counted whatever the models were modelled with, so no stikkbombs or whatever unless the chucka was on the trukk. One exception was that I upgraded my Wierdboy to a Warphead, because I don't think anyone would actually run one as a wierdboy!

Simply adding the 3 bio-titans from Forgeworld adds around 2500 points to a Tyranid collection. And gives them some nice Apocalypse things to play with.
