Im a regular sm fanboy with inq allies, love the modelling opportunities with those guys. If j had more cash id start an ork army beacuse nothing says funny like a giant green cockney alien who just wants a fungus beer and a good rumble.

I'm in the same boat. Orks seem like such a fun army to play on the days when I don't care if I win. It's just so expensive and time consuming to collect a "horde" army.

Orks and dark eldar, although my blood runs green under the surface.

Space Marines - my own chapter.

Then I have a generic chaos army, which is a CDM (alpha legion) army with loads of lost and damned, cultists, traitor guard etc. and a chaos daemons allied detachment.

played dark angels when i got back into the hobby because of DV, but got a bit bored of them after a while, so moved to creating my own chapter.

raven guard and tau. ive been playing them side by side ever sense 6th ed came out.

Imperial Guard - my personal favorite. been building and playing different incarnations (massed infantry, mechanized infantry, armored company, AirCav, super-heavy company) since 3rd ed. Starting yet another one next one

Eldar - my very first 40k army, since 3rd ed. Mainly field either a Windrider-themed host, or a Ranger war host.

Thousand Sons - my most painstakingly painted army, also since the 3.5 ed book came out. Lately joined by some Daemon allies.

Ravenwing - since 5th ed. Just started a new project to build 3rd company DA (but I think my new IG project will trump this one )

Current Standings:
1. Space Marines
2. Chaos Space Marines
3. Orks
4. Astra Militarum
5. Dark Angels
6. Tau
7. Eldar
8. Space Wolves
9. Tyranids
10. Necrons
11. Chaos Daemons
12. Grey Knights
13. Blood Angels
14. Dark Eldar
15. Inquisition
16. Adepta Sororitas
17. Imperial Knights
18. Militarum Tempestus

In my opinion its not very surprising.

I am kind of surprised that Necrons aren't higher. The popularity of Tau and Eldar is probably at least a little to do the fact that they are a top tier army right now but I know Necrons are still pretty good too. Interesting, maybe I have to take up a Necron army .

Other than that, yeah, not surprising at all.

I couldn't find Imperial Guard...

Black Templars, Death Guard + Renegade allies, Orks, Space Wolves, Grey Knights


would love to play/collect: Necron, Minotaurs space marines, Death Korps of Krieg, Vostroyan First Born, Imperial Knight, Inquisition

I used to have about 4000 points of Guard, then started Wolves in the spring. I can't play two armies though, I prefer to focus on one, so I gave my entire Guard army to my little brother.
He promptly beat my new Wolves with my old Guardsmen.

Orks and Imperial Guard for me. I like that they're the two armies that aren't all about being super-powered super beings. The guardsmen are ordinary men and women, the orks are ordinary... well, orks. Strong and tuff, sure, but not in the same class as Space Marines or Necrons or so on.

Kinda wonder how close this'll match polls like this one.

WTF? There are 256 Chaos Space Marine players but I cant even sell my army to?

Tied for 11%, Space marines, Ork, Guard.

blood angel, eldar , tau ftw.

Well, couldn't that mean that they already have their armies? It's the other guys you should be looking to sell to.

Orks/Grotzz...

Go crazy on the builds, and mod the frack out of stuff ,and it still looks like it's suposed to... I just love building my Grot army...
And I even won a few games with them....

Really suprised and pleased at the fairly healthy spread! I play a few 500 pointer armies that I ticked the box for but mainly lovely guard. I'm assuming looking at the figures that there are alot of small armies included here. Good poll very interesting.

You forgot mechanicum.........

Salamanders(SM), Farsight Enclave(Tau), Plauge Marine(CSM), 8th Cadian(Imperial Guard....NOT Astra Militarum...there is only IG )

Wheres the FW armies? cuz i play Mechanicus and 30K Marines

About 9000 in orks
Just started tau, maybe 600.

Lately, I've been almost exclusively playing a Grey Knights/Space Marines/Inquisition army and loving it.

CSM and GK for me.
SM are clearly the most popular army though.

SM, Orks, Chaos and IG. Huh.

Been playing Tau since 4th and all through the "dark days" of 5th. I remember bringing out my army to cries of "Wow! A Tau player!" Now there's quite a few more

I play Grey Knights allied to Imperial Guard as Mechanicus?

I play only Crimson Fists , they're the most reasonable Chapter of all in my opinion

Necrons and tau. Sometime next year I'm planning on getting space marines or imperial guard though.

custom chaos space marines war band, even thought all models are second hand space marines, hur hurr.

Also recently I started building up some lost and damn.

Dark Angels
They have some of the best fluff of all space marine chapters and one of their characters has the last remaining jetbike in the Imperium!
I also have some Tau I am thinking about filling out and playing more, as well as some CSM (mainly the DV stuff).

Good to see IG, SM, CSM, and Orks at the top. As it should be.

AM, Inquisition, GK, Assassins, some Imperial Armour Guard. One 3e Daemonhunters army, four Codexes.
