Yeah... but wouldn't the only alternative be to only count the points that have been submitted in a pic to this thread?
Both sides would lose alot of points if they had to "prove it with a pic"
*edit*
Although that doesn't make it a bad idea. In fact it might be pretty cool to have a thread with over a million points pictured on either side.

Would like to throw in my chaos marines at roughly 4000, my demons with another 3500 and the big boyz ORKS at 8000 points (probably more though )

Order (boo ) 839,700 Destruction 865,884

I'm somewhat against the idea of pics because I don't have a working camera and I posted truthfully (we all say that don't we?).. though I'm well under the 10k mark anyway. I'm sure with most cases of fraud, it doesn't happen all that often.

Nonetheless, it would be pretty cool to have a Dakka Dakka armies on parade thread.

What are incredibly lame thing to lie about (and how little you would gain from lying).

Would the Tyrant's legion/Successionists count as Order, or Chaos?

-Wolf Guard 252

That 1 million points is a shade closer...

About 2000 pt Eldar for order

And 9500 pts (mix of DE, Daemons, Orks and Nids) for destruction


Order (boo ) 841,700 Destruction 875,384

Working on a photolog for my Orks. Should be done in a day or two for the stuff i have at home.

I have some of my older stuff in storage (about 10,000 pts of 1st/2nd ed Orks, mostly) that i'll pull out and photo when i'm next up that way.

It was somewhat sobering to realise that i literally couldn't fit all my orks on a 6x10 table, and even a 10 x 10 floor was proving problematic. I'm photoing them in groups instead, but some day i want to get them all in one shot

I think i may have (just slightly...) bitten off more than i can chew, paintingwise..

Dont think I would post a picture just for the fact my army is no where near painted and would look horrible compared to most others.

wow

Yes, quite.

It's hardly that serious and experiment, is it? Most likely the numbers would balance out over those few who thought it'd be a good idea to lie, for whatever reason.

Furthermore, I've seen newer players accuse more veteran players of lying about how many points they have. Some don't seem to be able to fathom that, yes, somebody could easily end up with 20,000pts of something after playing the game for the best part of 20 years.

Not talking about me, in this case, I've only got around 9000pts total at the moment in various armies. At the last count, anyway.

There are also a number of people posting armies for other people... To me this is wrong, outside of "within the household" family members, because what is to say that the "friend" who people are posting for didn't already post their army? I mean, we pretty much all know that Morathi is married to another Dakkanaut, and has accounted for them (sorry I forget which user it is)


I'd rather not recount the whole thread to eliminate the "my friend" or "my shop" army counts, but it probably should be done.

since want to reach that 1 million ill throw the rest of my forces into the mix.

So thats another 2000 points for order in the shape of some Tau and Grey Knights. and another 2500 points in the shape of Tyranids. wich brings the tally to.....

Order: 843,700
Destruction 877,884

Getting closer

I can add 3000 points of Necrons, so:

Order: 843 700
Destruction: 880 884

Damn we really are getting close to that million point total arnt we? Thats kindda exciting TBH. And no, no one actually has to post pics of their army, it was just a thought I had, so no offense was intended. Not to mention of my actual boyz, I have a whoping 20 actually painted so..... And more FlashGitz painted then Nobz. Im a weird fella

Yeah, i'd rather not post mine either... I only counted my painted ones, but... someone's bound to point out my ugly warboss that I painted with testors paint and dollar store brushes from 6th grade. The shame would be to great..

Well here is most of my IG in Vid format (I do apologize about the crappy music loop and the wobbly hand syndrome )


Now just imagine some counts as vendettas (not any where near finished), some plasma vets a platoon and about 3 HWS in to that mix
Proud to stand against the evil of the night since 1994

As with any experiment, you often find out more than what you were originally looking for. I' learning a lot about this community from this thread, and I believe it's a good thing. Keep it going Dakka! I haven't seen a single Mod on this thread, what are their army counts? Do they even have armies? Are we being guided by people that love the Warhammer universe, but have no armies to speak of? What is this madness?

that would make me a saaaaaad panda

Yeah I failed. 20,000 points with a pic was something close to the 5th post in, made by a mod. But still, I haven't seen most the other mods I encounter in most of the other threads. Maybe they haven't stumbled on this yet.

Mine are by and large butt-ugly or unpainted too, but i have no sense of shame

I can't paint to save my life, and i have other projects that have always lured me away from painting my orks (it's a bit daunting to look at an ork horde and start painting..)

My new-years resolution was to paint the little buggers, and so far i have about 3 units done. I'm going to be propping up the sale of paints and brushes for years to come..

Doesn't help that i really can't stop myself buying MORE stuff at the same time

also to gicve those with 10000 pts of this or that some support i only restarted my army in december and i have somewhere around 6500 pts now
