You should edit the poll to remain open, it's closed for me. But I currently play both pure Dark Angels and Chaos Daemons.

Guard for me.

Orks
Inq
GK
maybe I'll add Mechanicus when is releases...

Sisters, Scions, Knights, Inquisition and Necrons.

1st post - yay

Space Marines, Eldar and Da Orks for me.

I only play chaos space marines..... so that

I run the two most opposite armies in the game. SoB and DE. Currently both armies are below 1000 points but thats soon to change.

Where is Adeptus Mechanicus? I play that

Orks are number one for me. Next will be IG/AM.

You guys need to add Skitarii and CultMech!!!

Wolves & 'Nids. Nom!

No Khorne Daemonkin in the list? I expanded when I got this codex, so now I have a bunch of daemons. Fun times. I am converting a bunch of Dark Vengeance bikes to chaos. Gorepack FTW!

I run orks, nids, imperial gua- astra militarum, tau and a teeny bit of space marines in drop pods to ally with my other armies and spice games up a little. Just like the OP of the poll I am extremely indecisive, but hey, I settled on a mere five armies, right guys?

Wow, that is an amazingly even distribution. I really expected there to be a heavy skew towards space marines. Even adding in their different codices, it still is less than a quarter of the total.

29%, actually - at the moment anyway.

I was expecting around 33% so...

Interesting. If those results are representative of actual army distribution, it makes sense why GW keep buffing the less popular armies at the expense of Orks, CSM and AM.
SM are obviously immune to this phenomenon.

I have 9 armies:

AS
IG
SM
CSM
CD
IK
INQ
Tau
Nec
Nids

Lost and the Damned baby! But seriously I've had pretty decent success with the FW book so far, not a bad list and pretty balanced play.

I thought space marines is going to be overwhelming high

Space Wolves : First ever Warhammer army, sentimental value... + space Vikings
Space marines - Soul Drinkers : Read the first book in the omnibus and immediately loved their backstory. A chapter defending its honour and punished for it.
CSM - Death Guard : Childhood love of horror movies, zombies, and the colour green rolled into one !

I collect too many armies to afford with the current prices. I never buy any of these outrageously overpriced toy soldier models, however and have come to nurture a bitter-sweet disdain for the evil-doppelganger that calls itself Games Workshop. Fortunately for me I have been collecting since...1991-92? and have since acquired loads of armies through purchase, trade or magnanimous gifting. I only ever play Chaos Daemons and/or Marines, tho because everyone plays imperial. I have one player in my troupe that exclusively plays xenos (Eldar and Tau). So I have been painting up my Blood Angels (codex space marines >cough< so i can finally smash face for the Emperahr again! I'm at probably 2-3k of losing painted models and am now focusing on stuff that I hope will actually be effective. It's surprising to see how many CSM players voted vs everything else, especially Codex Marines.

What about harlequins?

Eldar, Harlequins, and Corsairs... which I guess are all under the blanket Eldar?

Wierd, but not surprising, to see that the by far and away most common are SM, CSM, and IG. Orks kinda threw me though, even if they are GW's go to media bad guy/goofball.

What. no Skitarii?

LOL I some how came about other army by simply getting Lots.
but my main armies are TAU, Space wolfs, Choas and Gray knights
mostly what became parts and bits resulted in Armies or Squads lol
Imagination is

Orks all the way over here! And black legion too, but whatever

Maybe this poll should be edited/redone to include Admech/Skitarii (are these truly different factions, or more like IG/Tempestus?) and GSC. It'd be interesting to see how quickly people are willing to go try the newer stuff.

Grey Knights Sir!!!

I play Corsairs and Harlequins... thats not on the options

Ive been a tau player since 3rd edition and picked up a smattering of other armies along the way. Its fin to experience and develop different play styles.
