I cant say that. But i can field 3 tact squads. 2 scouts
1 5 man assualt
alot of HQ
both forms of vets.
One of every tank.
two dreads.
Command squad.
um i can also feild an entire ten man bike squad(and maybe more)
i also have a single drop pod.
um also 1 on reach type of termies.

For me, it's a pure economics thing. I make lists, and I put together that list with what models I have, and then I purchase/model/paint that which I don't. Eventually, I get to the point where I make a new list and find that I already have most of the models, so I don't have to make many more, and very eventually, I get to the point where I don't have to make any new models I need to make in order to field the list I want to play.

In this case, "enough" is something that's rather organic.

No, that's what an obsessive-compulsive hoarder would say.

I have a company+ of marines - enough was enough when I realised I'd never be able to field all of it in a single game (and GW jacking the prices just confirmed it).
My eldar just started out being one or two units from each FOC entry. Then became just the models I liked. Now it only gets added to when I see a 2nd hand bargain (last one was a FW nightspinner going for $20, undercoated black).

If the crew of "Hoarders" is knocking on your door, you have passed the point of "enough" and pushed through into "Way, way too much."

I think it depends on what army you are playing and what styles you have settled on in that army.

With my SW, I like to play a thunderlord with TWC and 10 man GH packs in Rhinos supported by nor more then two Long Fang packs. I also like to play a hybrid Loganwing list. So my army and preferred playing styles will limit me to those choices.

For me it was the last time GW put up their prices, I can no longer justify paying £20 for 5 guys when I can buy a decent old game for that.

...ha ha ha! enough is never enough! I say stop when you are pleased with your army.

Then you start a second Armored Company


Then you start a third....

Mik

And when your regiment is completed, including all the support vehicles and tanks, start the second drafting from that world

Rinse and repeat...
