**Lythrandire Biehrellian**

I chose "eldar" because it didn't list craftworld, harlequins, and corsairs...

**EdwardRenus**

I thought Eldar Cheelselords were more popular than that. Every second army I see is Eldar.

**Ezki**

Eldar, Dark Eldar, Orks and Death Korps of Krieg.
Only played with DKoK and Eldar in 8th, but trying to get the other armies sorted out as well.

**Sir Heckington**

No lost and the damned?

Damn.

**Girthquake**

my bank account doesn't like it....but I play/collect SoB

**Kall3m0n**

Only one of my three armies are available on the list!

I play Tau, Death Guard and pure Custodes.

**epronovost**

My favorites are Orks, Militarum Tempestus, Dark Eldars, Eldars, Adepta Sororitas,Genestealer Cults, Astra Militarum, Tyranids, Tau, Space Marines (all flavors), Chaos Space Marines (all flavors), Chaos Daemons, Necron, Imperial Knights in that order I would say.

**hawkeye**

Where is the Adeptus Mechanicus? I play Adeptus Mechanicus, Imperial Knights, Death Korps, Imperial Fists, and Primaris Marines.

**Woodbro_Chillson**

Currently playing with deathguard, deathwatch, and a custom SM chapter. Just getting started with the hobby(6 months in)

**tiaomaster**

where my custodes be at?

Perhaps it's time for an updated poll with a more up to date list? How long since OP's been online?

Exactly. Why is such an out of date poll still popping up on Dakka's front page?

**Captain Brown**

Voted for the five I have that are painted and get played.

Cheers,

CB

**Pyrosphere**

Deathwatch is missing in this list.

Yeah. I already posted a request over on the "Suggest A Poll Here..." thread for an updated thread, but haven't received any feedback yet.

**Adeptus Doritos**

I stand by my theory that nearly everyone that plays 40k has a few Space Marines laying around.

I don't think that's too surprising seeing as every 40k starter box includes Space Marines.

**Melissia**

Yeah, GW has pushed Marines as the starting faction for its entire existence.

**Rob Lee**

As I have access to all the current codices I tend to play as whatever I want. I have however selected my preferred armies - Chaos, Imperial Guard, Eldar, Dark Angels/Space Marines and Necrons (only because they seem to me to be pretty easy to win with, I'm not overly keen on Necron models and I only own a Command/Annihilation Barge that is yet to be assembled).

Also helps that I own at least 100 Dark Angels infantry models plus some vehicles, a handful of Chaos and Eldar and a couple of Imperial Guard models.

**Karnij**

forgot genestealer cults.

**xerxeskingofking**

None of the Above.

Admech and Custodes, neither of which are on the list.

**KidCthulhu**

No Admech or Genestealer cults in the poll?

It's just as well; I only ever played my GSC as GSC once and my Admech, though painted nicely, have never seen the field of battle.

**Stalked21**

I also play Adeptus Custodes but it wasn’t an option

**SamusDrake**

Modern 40K: Harlequins and Chaos Knights.
Classic 40K: Craftworlds and Tyranids.

**Boringstuff**

Over the years I've played: Orks, Space Marines, Grey Knights, Blood Angels, Chaos Space Marines & Chaos Daemons. But the only army I've kept is Chaos Space Marines, because playing the good guys is boring.

Wait this poll is from 2014? Lmao, needs updating maybe? XD

**Infidel305**

orks and black templars, the extremes of both lol.

**Gitzsmasha**

Orks for life bro, Orks for life.

**Hecaton**

No option for clowns...?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Deathguard or Genestealer Cults
