Adeptus Mechanicus

Would buy these until I couldn't spend more then sell 2 of my current armies and buy some more.

Death Korp.

Nothing I don't already have.

GK in plastic would just mean more people with less ability will glue the wrong bits together with no sense of rhyme or reason. Just like a lot of SM players under the age of 12.

The only reason I collect the models I do is because I like the sculpts - and I will collect them regardless of whether they are metal or plastic.

Female IG, Tech Guard, and then the other IG regiments.

I would collect Space Marines.

oh wait...

+ 1 For death Korps,

Heck I wouldeven get a job to be able to afford an entire apocolypse army.

That is how far I would go

Hmm... this is actually a very difficult question, as I already own several very large armies, covering most of the army archetypes. About the only army I don't already own for 40k is a Xenos horde, and I'm OK with Nids, but they're already mostly available in plastic, so if I haven't bought them, I probably won't.

Of the various non-plastic armies I already own for 40k (metal Eldar, metal IG, metal Inq. Storms, metal Sisters of Battle), the only one I'd consider expanding would probably be Sister, but that isn't really collecting a new army.

If GW were to do a good job making an authentic Cathayan (Chinese) army for Warhammer, one that didn't mismash other Asian elements, and something that wasn't based on blatantly racist stereotypes, I'd definitely jump in. To date, I doubt GW would do a good job here, so I'd rather wait until after GW tackles Ind (India) due to the large number of subcontinental Indians in Britian available to advise GW how to represent non-European forces in a non-racist fashion.

Grey Knights of course.

Right, but plastics are considerably easier to assemble, paint, offer more modelling opportunities, and are cheaper as well.

You sound like your a really well off person to have so many armies, sadly not everyone is so fortunate.
Though your idea about a Chinese army is interesting, have you been thinking about this for a while?

I think I do OK money-wise, tho I have had the advantage of playing since 2E, so I did my buying and trading of armies over several years. As wargaming armies are strictly accumulative (every model you buy increases your army), if you keep buying, armies eventually get very large over time.

I'd like to play a Chinese army, but have gotten very sick of the stereotyping that pops up by GW. I don't like it when GW does it because it's just lazy and disrespectful. Hopefully, GW gets past this in the future.

I would be all over steel legion and maybe death guard.

Im making a squats army Off the Vanilla marine codex

Praetorians.

H.B.M.C. wrote:Adeptus Mechanicus.

Oh my, yes.

I was going to say Death Korps but I would love an AdMech army even more.

Dath Korps of Krieg

Mechanicus

Now i'm licking my lips at the idea of plastic Sisters. Might have to put off my plastic Valhallan army.

Squats definitely.
I have this old book called Codex Imperialis, and has rules for all the 40k armies out in 1993.
The Squat rules are pretty awesome.
Anyway they should bring them back.A local GW worker hinted they might release them again

Codex Imperialis would be a good book to review the way Kid Kyoto has done a couple times. Or has he already done this one?

It's been done(I don't think he did it, but it was done in his style).

I'd buy a Fimir army if GW did them in plastic.

Sisters or Lost and the Damned.

Sisters,Vostroyans or Lost and the Damned

Sisters for sure, and I'd consider Necrons or DE depending on resculpts.

Deamonhunters

40K - Sisters

WHFB - Cathay or Nippon Armies

Fremen, or maybe even the Imperial House.

We can't all convert our own, after all...

Thousand Sons.

DEATH KORPS. maybe if enough people say this they would actually produce it. yeah, right...

Grey Knights

Death Korps, only because it was a pain in the butt to try and paint little skulls in iron legion troops.
