How do?
A very much light hearted thread for these troubling times. And it’s simple. Pick something, and invent a collective noun for it. Genuine collective noun examples? A Murder of Crows, A Cauldron of Bats. So many are pretty daft to begin with.
I’ll kick off.
Lego. The correct collective noun for Lego is a HOW MUCH?!? of Lego.

Collective noun for Legos? I'll propose Assembly, given their intended purpose. An Assembly of Legos. Alternatively, a "Construct" of Legos?
I'll propose Bobble Heads as the next item

IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT.
New Heavy Gear Log! Also...Grey Knights!
The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts. |

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

Murderhobos is a name given to a group thats first (and often only) response to a problem in RPGs is to kill it, these problems can include such things as seeing a person walking down the street or an NPC quest giver etc.

I think "stench" is much better reserved for "a stench of wargamers".

Alternatively, "funk" or "miasma" would work as well.

This is one we actually had to do in a Pathfinder game, when my summoner cast the most powerful summon monster spell and got 1D3 + 1 Tyrannosaurus Rexes. What do you call a plurality of T-Rexes?
We settled on "Regicide"

Sounds obvious but a "Monarchy" of T-Rexes for the plural would be cool. 
How about a plural for a group of social distance ignoring idiots?

For armies gathering dust I'd suggest an entropy. Somehow, even just sitting there, they seem to manage to fall apart.
