**ultramarinelord**

I'm another SM player, originally Ultrasmerfs. I repainted the one squad of them I had as Imperial Fists and now I have everything else painted as Blood Ravens. I've also got the Orks from the Black Reach set. Eventually I want to start either some Guard, DHs or BTs.

**starbomber109**

I play orks, and I will be/am collecting space marines and Tau. (I donno if I'll ever truly play tau though)

**Eldar Own**

I have bad case of newarmyitis and i'm going to start a tyranid army when they release the new codex.

*cringe* not another one...

**UberKarnage323**

Tyranids. Oh Yeah!

**sgtpjbarker**

My wife says, "Oh please, you are going to buy and paint every army, so don't kid me!" I can't help it, she is right and that is why I love her. SO, I have Imperial Fists, Tau, Necron, 'nids, Deamonhunters, and DA. Next I think are Witch Hunters.

**CephaSquidNautilus**

I play the Nids. I hate Marines because they are GW Poster boys. If I'd ever start a 2nd army it would be Tau.

**oadie**

Got to love AoBR. I got started with the two armies I liked the most and I've stuck with Orks and SM ever since (which sounds more impressive than it is, considering I haven't been involved with the hobby for all that long

).

**Eldar Own**

Soup_Nazi wrote:I've got too many armies. I rotate each month at the local tournies between my: Space Marines, Deathwing, IG, Witch Hunters, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Chaos, Orks, and Necrons.

someone with more armies than me!

**Farseer Faenyin**

I stick to one army, the Eldar. When I got into the game, they were the best looking vehicle units, and their fluff was awesome(well, the Fall not so much). Their playstyle has required better generalship that others on a regular basis, so it isn't an 'idiot army'.

I'm not the guy that plays the 'current powerhouse' list, or have 3-4 to choose from and pick the most powerful out of them to play in tournaments. I play my Eldar. When they suck...I play my Eldar. When they're powerful...I play my Eldar...but still a fluffy list, so no Falcon/Harlie or other moronic things to take advantage of the ruleset at the expense of anything that resembles Eldar storyline.

**Skarshak**

Da Orks... Waaagh!

**blood reaper**

Chaos space marines and Chaos daemons .

**Shake Zoola**

Necrons were my first and I stll have a full army of em

The orks were the army I always wanted to build and play with and now Im working on them

I have a decent amount of SM stuff that Ive gotten a hold of (one of those big strike forces that came out a while back and the SM side of AOBR) but none of it is built yet Im gonna make them a custom army that has a real story line that Im putting together in my head...perhaps Ill post a blog on dakka when I finally get around to doing them...but that wont be for a LONG while now!

**Curly**

CSM and Orks

**Hialmar**

When they get around to selling Daemonhunters and/or Witchhunters in plastic like they should be, then I may collect one of those as well as my Orks, Space Marines, Imperial Guard and Tyranids.

**Avatar 720**

Tau and Chaos Marines for me. Currently awaiting DHers and Necs before I consider a new army.

**Mukkin'About**

I just like to collect, so I have a bit of everything that ever appealed to me

**Element206**

though I havent started them all yet, I plan to collect:

-3 SM armies
-CSM
-Dark Eldar
-Eldar
-IG

**BlutEisenRegel**

Though I am usually against what is too popular and overrated(Spehss Mahreens) I love my Speed Freeks because of all the sweet modeling opportunities Orks provide.

**shrike**

See my sig. that.

**DA's Forever**

GK and the Ultra's

**VikingScott**

All sides of the Inquisition, Space Marines, Eldar, AdMech, and Imp Guard (renegade)

Fool! Space Marines never run away! They make TACTICAL RETREATS REALLY FAST!

**Wyrmalla**

I run a sizable Witch Hunters force with guard allies-though its rather dated and I don't care for the metal models, so it rarely sees the light of day nowadays-, a rarely used swamp world Tau force with various alien allies that collect to experiment with more outlandish sci-fi conversion-jetbikes, jetbikes, jetbikes- and every one like swamps, and a cityfighting Imperial Guard force that has gradually been taking more and more influence from the Kerebos Saga's universe- it all started when I was looking for an idea for carapace armour... Other than the three main ones I have a small force of true-scale space marines that I made once upon a time for fun and as alternative allies for my Inquisition, a load of Inquisition troops- the chance for converting was just too much-, and the remains of an Undivided/Nurgle Chaos Space Marine force that was lost during a house moving. =P

**Wolfun**

Space Wolves. 8D

Used to collect Smurf marines when I first started, then moved to Space Wolves then to Orkz, then Nids before settling on Space Wolves once again.

**shrike**

In order
Raven guard (6,000pts)
Orks (2,000pts)
DH (120pts)

Raven guard
'Nids (2,000pts)
Raven guard
WIP DKoK (45pts)

WIP DH (400pts)

WIP heresy-era raven guard using C:BA (950pts)

**Destroyer**

'crons all the way.

**Flashgit**

2 armies about 4k each. Orks and Space Marines. I think started collecting them cause I got the 2nd edition box set for my Birthday in 95. And I love how Orks are. Just crazy fools that like to blow stuff up

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Since I posted on page one a fair while ago, the Imperial Guard has been canned for another two years.

My Orks leap frogged the CSM to become my main army, and now sits (or is that stands, probably waagh's around the gaming cabinet?) at a healthy 3-4k in points. With two battlewagons, four trukks and plenty of boyz, Kans, various elite units and a lovely Scratch built Deff Dread that was my Christmas prezzie off Aurelia last year.

I have also just returned to Eldar as I noted in a thread in 40K discussions. They will be my second army for the time being, if not potentially my main army as my Boyz get put to one side as I fancy a different play style.

Although I will be taking my Orks to Lenton for the Doubles Tournie in Feb.

My CSM where moved out to the bedroom cabinets, which pretty much means they are in storage.

**Bryce-2-Good87**

Tau, IG, Orks, just started SM.
But like one squad in each is painted

**FITZZ**

I've got a huge Death Guard army 4000 points or more (come on Chaos Legions codex...).
Around 4000 points in Orkz...
...And have just started an IG Praetorians army.
