I've been collecting 40k since about 1998 with a couple of extended breaks over that time. Since I started, I have had:
- 3,000pts Ultramarines (sold onto friends)
- 2,500pts Biel-Tan Eldar (sold onto friends)
- 1,500pts Tyranids (old Dex) and a different 3,600pts Tyranid force (new dex) (both sold onto friends)
- 5,000pts Black Legion Chaos Space Marines (Ebayed and Dakka traded most of this because I couldn't stand the Codex any longer)
- 500pts Necrons (before they had a Codex and the models were extremely limited, gave away)
- 2,000pts Blood Angels (loved the army but didn't have space when I moved house so unfortunately had to get rid of it)
I'm currently playing the following:
Blood Angels (Always my favourite army in 40k and felt I had to collect them again)
Wraithkind Dark Eldar (because homocidal space pirates)
