All vintage:

1. High Elves with Wood Elf Mercs.
2. Dwarves
3. Creep Conglomerate i.e. Orks, Orcs, Goblins, Hob-Goblins, Ogres, Trolls, etc.

Previously sold off a collection of reptilians, and other Old Hammer/D&D minis. I'll probably sell these at some point.

I started painting the elves, no desire to paint the others, and some are already painted.

I primarily play kill-team when it comes to 40k. Also oldcromunda.

I have multiple 'armies' for both. But bear in mind, an 'army' is like, 2 squads of doods and then I move on to the next project. Raptors, minotsurs, kroot, farstriders, kommandos, guard veterans. Will do kasrkin and other future projects as they appeal.

I find painting the same scheme over and over again for dozens or hundreds of doods is soul crushing. An 'army' of two-dozen models is the perfect size to hsve nice variety in terms of sculpt, a small enough scale thst you can enjoy painting and modelling each as an individual and yet not too many doods that boredom or burn-out sets in. Loved shadespire for the 'army is 4 models' theme.

If I have an army of hundreds (my lotr/'ahem-historicals' roman warriors numbers about 200 dudes) I tend to paint a single unifying common element (eg cream and green shields...) across the entire force but each warrior's actual clothes will usually be different- it actuslly works really well, and again, stops boredom and burnout.

True, not exactly sure what qualifies for a typical D&D or other fantasy army. Altogether I probably only have 3 or 400 minis, maybe less now, I'll have take inventory.

Multi-army.

I try to keep how many I do have to three per game.
Right now I have Tau and Orks for 40k.
FEC and OSBR for AOS.

I'd say I'm a bit of a hybrid. I'm sort of a main army, with numerous side projects kinda person. Most evident with my 40k collection, where the one army that I always come back to, always want to keep painting units for is my Biel-Tan. Meanwhile other projects wax and wane around it. I've got multiple 40k armies, but none of the other ones come close to the size and scope of my Biel-Tan
