Early Caliphates

Cavalry by Perry Brothers
Turkish Ghulam by Musketeer Miniatures
Infantry by Gripping Beast

**Mr. Burning**

All Rogue Trader minis for each of the available races. Building complete armies from conversions for variety.

Then I would start on massive Epic scale armies for each race.

**nerdfest09**

I'd get the guys from Chapter house and maxmini to make a complete Tallarn army from scratch with every model different! it would look so cool, imagine how fluid it would look! and i'd have a company of marines for the raven guard, space wolves, and whatever I start today.

I tried doing that. Reason kicked in at 4 companies. I'm back down to about 2.5 companies now.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I would love to do a Fantasy army in the style of Greek Hoplites. A Tilean army maybe, since they seem to be operating in a City-State meme, from what I've read.

I would also love to have a "living" Tomb Kings army, much like what was represented in the first Nagash book.

Sisters of battle - the cost is a killer (£30 for a 10 woman squad with weapons.. if I'm lucky...)

I'd have sisters with many many meltas and flamers. A rhino and immolator option for many squads with all of the iconography and FW stuff. Use a whirlwind AND immolator kit for each exorcist. Field 9 penitant engines... :-)

**sonofruss**

All 12 great companies

Titan legion 1 emperator 2 warlords 4 reavers 6 warhounds and a knight household

A battalion of Krieg

My favorite choice so far :3

**Mewiththeface**

A large enough endless swarm to completely cover a 6'x4' field with atleast 3 hieorphants standing over with plenty of warriors, tyrants, fexes, FW trygons, and raveners.

**Snikkyd**

Hmm, well if I could find a good way to do a counts as army, i'd do an all Stormtrooper army. Those are some of my favorite models, I just never had a good way to use them.

Also, a FW titan legion would be sweet.

I also think the 13th Great Company would be cool, but again thats more of a matter of not knowing how to build the list rules wise.

**Jackal**

Im a daemons player, so not really anything i cant afford.
Just expanding the army more and more as time goes on.

However, all of the FW greater daemons would be nice

Might be just as nice to add in some daemon engines (plague hulks, blight drones, blood slaughterers, scorpions etc)

All in all, i would just go apoc on my daemons.

I'd do that. I'm curious to play it.

If money isnt an issue you would only get 1000 pts of catachan?

Wow thats impressive xD

**Endgame**

I'd probably do a mix of a peasant and Knights Brettonain force with a selection of each of the Knight units. Then I'd commission groups of 15 knights and blocks of 50 men at arms to be painted by famous Golden Deamon winning painters like Jen Halen, Victoria Lamb, etc etc.

Er, is the idea that money is not an issue for one day only or something? I guess I thought of it like "what would you be working on now if you had the money?" and thousands and thousands of points of anything would simply not fit into my life at the moment.

**JohnHwangDD**

From the OP:

So if money isnt an issue , what are some crazy armies you always wanted but never made it because
its just not viable money wise?

I see the OP as pretty broad in scope. It's clearly not limited to a day, just pretending that you could get / transform any of your armies without having to worry about the monetary cost.

So, in my original reply, I simply proposed to have all of my stuff completed (i.e. fully-painted) to a consistent, high standard over a period of a few months.

I didn't propose buying more minis, because, for the most part, I own what I want and money hasn't ever really been an issue in getting any of this stuff.

**oadie**

I don't have much interest in playing IG, but Santa, I'd just love to have a few hundred pounds of DKoK (tenderly) crammed under my (nonexistent and seasonally inappropriate) Christmas tree. Oh, with generic and Forgeworld IG vehicles, upgrade sprues, and brass etchings to match!

Then again, I wouldn't say no to pretty much any free models. Most realistically, if I had some extra cash lying around with nothing but 40K to spend it on, I'd buy some snazzy glass display cabinets and hobby supplies, then beef up my Orks and SM until I could comfortably field 2,000pts. of each, with room for list customization (probably about 3K total, per army, plus a few titans/superheavies to bump my forces up to Apocalypse level).

I know , im impressed because while most people go wild with what they want ( endless Titan legions! )
i thought manchu was rather humble.

I want bunch of Grot Tanks xD

**JSK-Fox**

A massive Horde of Warriors of Chaos, devoted to Khorne, an entire Space Marine Chapter, with the first chapter's vets made from a captain kit each, and at least 27 Darkheim Platinum Guardian Imperial Guard Regiments (my own imperial guard). If FW is included, I'd get enough thunderhawks to carry all my space marines in, and a few titans. Also, plenty of Super Heavies!

That's the impression I got as well - that Manchu's restraint was admirable.

**ChiliPowderKeg**

With the finest minerals and oils melted into one most expensively detailed casting. Just Kidding, I'd just buy a lot of crisis suits before they get redesigned when Tau get an update in the far future

I find the current crisis suit extremely ugly. Its enough to make me stay away from collecting Tau xD

Which makes the idea of an army of them being eviscerated by an army of whatever amazing design of the future all the more beautiful.

**eNvY**

5000+ point Sisters of Battle army with Repressors counting-as Chimeras.

**Shadowbrand**

My armies would actually be done.

Poor dwarves, they got put off till I find another job. D:

**Warboss Imbad Ironskull**

A counts as Empire army with models being pre unification Tau converted from Ungors.

**Retrias**

Titans

ALL OF THEM
every class every variant

then custom models of TITANS
that look like Primarchs

what? you said money is not an issue?

**AlexTheTitan**

I would make a massive Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii legion supported by a Titan legion of the Collegia Titanica Diviso Militaris. 10 Warlord Titans, 1 Imperator Titan, 1 Warmonger Titan, 20 Warhound Titans and 1 Reaver Titan. All hail the Omnissiah!

**bucketwalrus**

Id buy a massive horde led under abbadon and his allies

1000 CSM's

200 Chosen

100 Terminators

200 khorne berzerkers

200 Thousand sons

200 Plague marines

200 Noise marines

250 rhinos

50 landraiders

75 predators

90 obliterators

50 defilers

150 havocs all of them with missile launchers

couple greater daemons, and 100 lesser daemons

then i would play an appocalypse game using ALL OF THEM!

Ah, I see. This is the best post so far IMO. The assumption here is not that minis are too expensive to buy but rather you have to work to afford everything else and so have little time to actually deal with the kits. If money is no object *lightbulb!* you don't have to go to work and can play with your toys a lot more often. Sorry for being Captain Obvious here but I totally missed that when I read your first answer. My answer was basically from the perspective of earning a lot more money at work and so being able to commit to buidling a gimmicky army just to see how it played--but still having the usual time constraints given work.

There's apparently quite a lot to your question, Luna!

**LunaHound**

Well the thread is supposed to be fun -_-
Liike armies of your wildest imagination etc etc. Maybe like all grot army etc etc.
