Eldar (anything I want)
Orks (Horde and Battlewagon Spam)
Crimson Fists Vanilla Marines (Sternguard and/or six Dread setup)
Emperor's Children Chaos Marines (2 DP, 2 Vindi, Noise Marines +)
Imperial Guard (2 valk, 2 vendetta, 3 hell hound, +)
Dark Eldar (Wych army)
Dwarves (Gunline)

+ My son's Ultramarines (three landraiders + butt load of terminators and marines)
his High Elves (just started)

In short, I have too much stuff. Blah. One day, I'll add it all pointwise - but I'm far too lazy for that.

When I was painting for money, I would sometimes build tourney armies, paint them then sell them. Anything that is not greenskin eventually gets sold off.

I have to call bs unless you collect super heavy's!

4 armies
Imperial Guard (5 different colour schemes)
Orks
Space Marines
Eldar

Crap, I clicked the wrong button, I have two not one. I have two armies larger than 500 pts and two armies smaller than 500 pts.

Dark Angels- 2740 points
Dwarfs- 1100 points ish
Tau- 120 points
Imperial Guard- 100ish points

edit: spelling

I gotz

Tau Empire

My failure of a Chaos Marine warhost

And a fledgling Kabal o'Dark Elfdar

My biggest is my Eldar, since I wanted to be able to field anything, at well over 4000 points.

Tyranids have now eclipsed my Necrons, and certainly have the most models, coming it at around 4000 points.

My Necrons have stagnated recently, since I have almost all the models I would ever need, I'm just currently waiting for a new codex to unshelve them.

I've been considering starting up a Dark Eldar Army, but with New Necrons on the Horizon, I'll probably just wait for them. Not to mention I'd like to get a look at the Dark Eldar Wave 2 stuff that comes out.

Or if he's been collecting only Orks since he's started and he's been playing for any good amount of time.

Blood Angels
Tau
Eldar
Orks
Space Wolves
Grey Knights

Imperial Guard
Space Orks
Skaven

Hmm, bit of an e-peen thread but I will contribute nonetheless:

40K

Space Wolves - 3000 pts
Dark Angels - 3000 pts
Blood Angels - 5000 pts
A.N.Other Marines (not yet painted to a specific chapter) - 2500 pts
Necrons - 2500 pts
Tau - 3000 pts
Dark Eldar - 3000 pts
Eldar - 5000 pts
CSM World Eaters - 4000 pts
CSM Death Guard - 3000 pts
Orks - 5000 pts
Tyranids - 3000 pts

Fantasy

I use Mantic minis exclusively - no GW stuff as yet

High Elves - 2500 pts
Vampire Counts - 2500 pts

Dwarves and Chaos Dwarves on order

Epic

Haven't totalled these up completely points-wise but they are all fairly substantial, maybe 50k points per army? Something like that.

Blood Angels
CSM
Orks
Tyranids
Squats

Not nearly enough according to Games Workshops 'How Many Armies You Must Have' book - due to be released soon I expect... with a great back up article in White Dwarf and a JJ Standard Bearer on how to raise the funds - sell a Kidney, you don't need it...

This would be fine and dandy if 40k and WHFB were the only games that existed.

You want to get real?...how about:
How many game systems do you own?
How many editions of each system?
How many armies/factions for each system?


I own 29 different games, not including generic board games. I wont even get into the minis involved...

you also have a great avatar which I apporve of

I've got:
Dark Angels
Space Wolves
Crimson Fists
Chaos Marines
Imperial Guard
Orks

And I have a bunch of Necromunda gangs lying around, but they're not even assembled so I wouldn't call them "armies" yet.

All pointed out in my sig, unsure if Daemons count as one or two if they are both Fantasy and 40K.

I'm relatively new to the hobby and my age restricts how much I can have
WHFB: Empire
Orc and Goblins
40k: Grey Knights DIY Chapter, the 'Archangels Justicar'(well, when the codex and new minies are out that is )
Tyranids
Blood Angels DIY Chapter, the 'Spectres of Doom'

I just thought it worth mention. My mother plays CSM, my little brother plays WHFB: Dwarfs and 40k: Space Wolves and my even littler sister plays Dark Eldar and she now wants Sisters of Battle.

How many armies do I own?

<Insert Pure Pwnage Link from Youtube to the "Pwnage" Song, because I can't do it at work>
