This guy's asking the important questions.

In 40k I have two armies, but if you're including other games too, we're looking at more like five or six...

It's your money, its' your time. So long as you have food, clothes, and housing, and you get your bills paid, then it is no one's business but yours. Collect, paint, and play to your heart's content, so long as it doesn't get in the way of your life.

Personally, this is my thoughts on collecting different armies:

Spoiler:

I mean seriously. When a new army comes out, I wish I could just grab it and collect it and play it. But life keeps getting in the way, you know?

My thoughts exactly. If I had all the time and money in the world, I know in my heart of hearts that I'd be wasting it all on plastic men.

How many armies should I have per system?

I think that 2 or 3 per system isn't bad, depending on the breadth & depth of the army choices in the system, and whether it's a primary game system for you, or something as a secondary diversion.
