Since I’m trapped in my rented home in China due to this world wide Covid crisis, I’m close to being bored out of my mind, here I am spending time on Dakka;

for the purpose of the poll:
Exclude: vehicle crews/pilots/pets/servo skulls/Admech/inquisitors/rogue traders/assassins/servitors/models on the sprue not intended to assemble/paint do not count;
HWT count as 2; Field Artillery count as 3;
Include: officers/henchmen/ministorum priests/tech priest enginseers/advisors/psykers/crusaders/navy armsmen/PDF/arbites/commissars/scions/ab-human auxiliary/field arty crew/etc.

If you want to tally chaos cultists or tau human auxilary, the tally must be separate individually.

Feel free to insert group shot images and details of your accounting. I will add images once I’m back home in March, in the meantime I will edit the OP and detail my regiments as I go. My goal is to get around the 1k men and woman footsloggers.

I like how you but the lower bar ar 50. Like anyone could have any guard, and not have that many.

I barely have that. Never bothered to re-jigger my forces when they implemented that whole “platoon” thing. I could get a loyal 32 out of them, but the assault guardsmen are not worth much, and we still use suspensors on the heavies.

Well, I did call for IG hoarders, like any of them wouldn’t have 50 about all ready to go. I started 40k with Tau, got a IG squad from a trade that I used as Tau human auxiliary, then suddenly My IG forces started to balloon; 10+ years later, my count has surpass the 800(700+ painted)mark. Once I’m at the 1k mark painted, I will take them all out for a photo shoot!

Many years ago I had loads of cadians and catachans, all metal but I have no idea where they have gone.
I sure my parents got rid of them

Do Disgusting, filthy traitors count? Because in that case, I have 52 Guardsmen, mostly converted, as part of a Chaos project I started last year. Tempted to grab a few more, but...

...too many unfinished as of yet.

I suppose you can, but you have to count one side or the other for poll purposes; traitor guardsmen/cultists; GSC acolytes; Tau gue’vesa auxiliaries; or IG.

Too many. I've lost count. At least 300, and likely 30 more when I actually get around to making some kitbashed Kasrkin. Gotta heal my arms first (working from home non-ergonomically for months does more damage than you'd think), and I'm wanting to prepare my 30k collection for a 40k Crusade once that's over.

Reviving this thread to see how others are progressing with the new IG release and all, I'm 9/10 of my way to 1k+; I was in the 500-800 bracket, now in the 800-1k range.

I think I can almost get to 500 in GW models. I'll have to see.

3rd party is fine, the new artillery count as 3 as it has 3 crews; this happened 2 years ago during the beginning of COVID.

My old Brood Brother army (prior to GSC getting rules & models again) falls under the 100-200 model count category.



I still have about 5 more finished commissars, a veteran squad of half-painted Tanith Tyran Ghosts, and more half-painted Steel Legion.

EDIT: In anticipation for 8th, I removed nearly all my hybrids and put them into a separate GSC detachment. That necessitated a new Company Command Squad from scratch as well as new Sergeants and Junior Officers.

Sorry to hear about your gak situation dude.
Makes me want to finish the stormtrooper vox operator conversions that have been flying the rigid grey colours of the 2nd 'pile of shame' Army which numbers as follows..

3rd Ed Inquisitorial Stormtroopers - 128


I still need 8 Grenade Launcher special weapon models though.
