Well, I have three warmachine armies and a couple of anima tactics organizations but I have no 40k or fantasy armies of 500+ points so i had to vote 0.
I would love to see more polls and discussions be inclusive on this site.

My Lizardmen and Spacewolves are the only armies I've had the entire time I've played and won't sell, they're also my first armies for their respective genres. I'm currently rebuilding my Orks and adding on to my VC to get up to 3k and when Tomb Kings comes out I'll be starting those, thankfully I had most of my armies before I got married

I recently sold some stuff, so right now it stands at:
WFB:
Orcs, Dwarves (both pretty sizeable, fully painted armies)

40K:
Orks, Crimson Fists. (Orks in need of repair and repainting, but it's a yoooooge army, Crimson Fists is a pretty small force.)

War of the Ring:
Mordor, Moria (neither that big, some repairs needed).

Hordes:
Trollbloods (enough to run several different builds)

I will just point out the armies that have more models ( theres plenty of stuff here with just some minis )

Infinity- Yujing
Alkemy - Aurlok
Hordes- Trollbloods
40k- Tyranids and Deathguard

haha dont we all... my major downside was getting half of a 20k signing bonus at the time when I started playing 40k. So I was like cool new armies. The reason I have so many armies is because I like to bounce around and play a different army depending on my mood and to mix it up from week to week.

Well as both Aurelia and I game, and have been known to share armies I'll list as a group.

Mine
Dark Elves - 1500pts
*Skaven - 2500pts

*Eldar - 2000pts
CSM - 3500pts

Aurelia
WoC - 2000pts
*High Elves - 1000-1500pts

*Dark Eldar - 2000pts


Eldest Son
Necrons - 1000pts


Unclaimed - as it sounds, either previously mine or Aurelia's. Currently boxed/or in a cabinet, as either fallen out of favour with the army, or not sure what to do with them.
Dwarves - 1000pts
Night Goblins - 1500pts

Space Marines - 2000pts
Tyranids - 1500-2000pts
