For only collecting one year, that's a respectable collection. Though, it is Fantasy, which automatically means big blocks of largely static models.

not if you play WOC or OK

That's correct.

Uh lost count. I've got 2 Guard Armies, Orks and Space Marines in 40k Brets, Beastmen/Warrior of Chaos mix and Skaven in Warhammer this is the really impressive part however


Roughly 80,000pts of painted Epic over a 1000 bases of Orks and a huge number of Chaos Bases. Well over 400 painted vehicles. I've also painted a lot more Ork since then with the addition of a Great Gargant Big Mob and a Mega Gargant.

Wow that is impressive!

You shouldn't have let on that that is an epic force, probably could have fooled a couple of the youngsters here

Hahahaha this reayy does make you feel a bit inadequate looking at what people have posted! I thought I had a massive collection, now it just seems a bit pitiful :(

Oh, good. Now I don't feel so bad about the amount of stuff I have...

Look at it this way. You've probably had a lot more money left at the end of the month than I have.

We need more pics in this thread from the "I've got a few thousand painted" crowd.

Personally - my collection is approximately:
~200 night goblins
~100 Ogres/Gnoblars
~150 Dwarves
~150 Lizardmen/Skinks
~ 100 SDE minis
~ 100 Freebooter minis
~ 40 Rivet Wars minis (With ~150 more due to come)
~ 60 40K minis
~ 10 Warmachine minis
~ a dozen misc minis

*sigh* - Rapidly approaching 1,000 - I really need to sell some of it :/ Thanks to Kickstarter I'll probably hit 1200ish before year's end.

Not coincidentally - I just put together a second display cabinet for them tonight.

Seriously? Now I'm curious what I've got in numbers, I never counted them... I think you just caused me to mess up my next four days off.

Thousands, easily. No idea how many, though. Almost 30 years worth of figures, though, so ...a lot.

http://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=25466 Is the craziest I've seen although http://taccmd.tacticalwargames.net/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=25427 is in some ways more impressive

I’d estimate I’m at close to a thousand, across all my armies and random collections. Definitely enough minis that I’ve crossed the line from “It would be fun to count them all up!” to “That’s a task that’s going to take too long and be irritating” But I do have pictures, albeit crappy ones, of most of my stuff.




The lizardmen below the undead are not mine, just storing them for a friend (They get used in D&D games) so I don’t have a good pic. Not pictured is a few wedges of bretonian knights/archers/characters a friend gave me before he moved and my small selection of wood elves. Plus all my non-GW stuff

I might have mentioned I don't have access to mine right now, since I'm in the middle of trying to find a new place to live....

I would count them, but if i did i think i would break down at the sheer amount i have collected.

I must be in the 1.5-2K region.

==>> 1666 WH40K models

Plus random whfb models I didn't count... maybe ~ 1750-1800 TT-minis.

Um... many!

I have about 30 years worth of models for D and D and similar use (about 400 or so). Reaper Kickstarter FTW - another crate arriving late this year.

Silly amounts of orks (even after selling off a fair chunk of my older stuff for space reasons)

Many Many DE

60 odd Daemons of Nurgle

A scattering of Warmachine models.

Maybe 2-3000 models in all, possibly more.

I'm on board with the people who have lost count, but with a 50,000pt WoC army and a 30,000pt OnG army, I'm sure I've got more than few thousand between those two alone.

If I am under 4000 I would be suprised, there is a gallery of my nids in my signature I have over 1000 nid models alone. plus a similar volume of uncounted eldar. add to that 30 years of D&D minis including the plastics that I hoarded like a cat lady.

I have trouble letting go of gaming stuff. It generally doesn't take up much space when packed down, and you never know when you might get some use out of it. I still have my dragon dice from grade school. If it takes up too much room I toss it, but otherwise I keep it around like a cat lady. Who knows when you'll want to play that old AvP CCG?!?

To many times I have dipped into the storage boxes when doing a conversion or building a piece of terrain. And you always find a use for something right after you get rid of it!

somehow this all fits in one room. also i think i need to sell some of this stuff.

Oh god don't make me count....

Funny that I just started getting stuff out for photographs. Thus far only 3 40K armies have been categorized. 25 years of collecting.

All 3 pictures are orks.

Well rats. It posted the same photo three times.

Sorry. That was my first post above. Here are the 117th Praetorian Support Company

Fantasy Orcs are about the same size as 40k, but need a photo session. It's kinda fun getting stuff out and thinking, "I forgot about those."

Sheesh. Now they are sideways. I guess I need some Dakka practice.

~1073 models spanning Tyranids, Orks, Space Marines, pre Heresy Death Guard, Necron, Deamons, Tau, Chaos Marines, and Dark Eldar.
702 fully painted
140 table top acceptable
231 unassembled or assembled but not painted

Probably running close to 32K points.

hmm, not sure. I have at least one of each army in wfb and 40k, and a few thousand loose miniatures and assorted vehicles and titans. So maybe in the 5-10k mark. I blame it on painting armies for my store display cases for 25 years and never wanting to get rid of any of it as it gets old and new stuff comes along.

I stopped trying to count. Between Skaven, Lizardmen, High Elves, Dwarfs, Vampire Count, Tomb Kings, Misc Beastmen, and Empire. about 798
Imperial Fists, own Space Marine Chapter, Ig, Grey Knights, Black Templar, Space Wolves, Tyranids, Eldar, Dark Eldar, and Tau, Heresy Dark Angles. about 546
Bolt Action Germans, Fow Lehr, King Tigers, mid war winter Germans, British Infantry, Red Devils, Russian Lend Lease, and early war French, and Fow Vietnam Americans. about 312 stands
And Warmachine Cygnar... about 50. I am well over the 1000 mark.
