    just as a point of interest, how many WHFB armies do you have?

    I have a 3000pt Dwarf army (In Progress)
    and a 1500pt Empire army (In Progress)
    with plans to make
    a 2000pt Dark Elf army
    and a 2500pt Vampire Counts list (will not be started till first two are completed before you ask, sephiroth)

    alongside this are 2 40k Armies, a 2500pt army of Black Templars (In Progress) and an imperial guard army of undetermined size :P

    Not great with sentence continuity
    Dwarfs 2000pts + and some Dark Eldar and Chaos <Arines X)

    All points values are approximate.
    High Elves 15,000pt+, no joke, nearly all calssic metal models, undercoated, about 1500pt well painted.
    Wood elves 2,500pt, undercoated
    Orcs & Goblins 10,000pt, all painted to gaming standard.
    Beastmen 750pt, undercoated
    Empire 6,000pt, not painted.
    Skaven 3,000pt, not painted
    Dwarfs 500pt, not painted

    As well as numerous 40k armies.
    Too many armies not enough time.

    Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
    come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

    I have about 5-6k Dark Elves…3k painted… Except my current list uses 40 unpainted witches and one unpainted hydra :( (i’ll be motivated to paint witch elves once GW makes them in plastic)

    3k Vampire counts WIP mostly mantic stuff, just waiting for the new book. (100 or 300 models painted…using army painter dip)

    3k O&G. unpainted

    A rather large (20+ man) Skaven Warband for Mordheim. All painted. This includes all possible hero and troop options, and a classic “boneripper” rat ogre.

    Too many especially if your counting in progress stuff. 9 and counting.

  • Avatar Image sephiroth24p said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

    10,500 wood elves, and @lowjacker ANOTHER ARMY?!?! Dx

    that last bit of light is always the hardest to snuff out…
  • Avatar Image lowjacker53p said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

    @sephiroth hey @fredox has 9 and counting!, i only have 5 (with a possible sixth) and my dwarfs will be done by january, the empire by april, the DE have not technically been started yet (excluding the cold one chariot) so technically i only have 4 armies :P just with intentions for two more XD

    I’ve got a Titan? :D

  • Avatar Image rosspot83197p said 3 months, 1 week ago:

    Beastmen 5000p
    Brettonians 5000p
    Chaos Warriors 7000p
    Dark Elves 9000p
    Dwarfs 3000p
    Empire 8000p
    High Elves 3000p
    Orcs & Goblins 10000p
    Skaven 10000p
    Wood Elves 12000p
    Vampire Counts 6000p

    I don’t use the Dwarfs or High Elves very often though, as My mate I play agains the most uses them for some of his armies, between us all only the Tomb Kings and Ogres don’t get used. I think if I started an army in either of these I would be getting a divorce. All I can say is 20 years + of collecting and ebay have alot to answer for.

    Let’s see

    5000pts of Lizardmen most of that being skinks or skink based units.
    4500pts of Skaven though if you include my Storm of Magic stuff it’s 5275pts.
    600pts of Vampire Counts only got my Lord and Hex Wraiths so far but the rest is being built.

    40k Armies- MC Tyranids, Shooty Orks, Jump Pack Blood Angels
    Warhammer/Bloodbowl/Mordheim Armies- Skaven no theme, Skink based lizardmen Warmachine- Cryx, Cygnar.

    Wow, impressive. I am totally new to fantasy. Literally, I have just a few miniatures primed and off sprues.
    ~1000pts Goblins (no Orcs) – 500pts primed
    ~1000pts Dwarfs – 500pts built, not primed

    My plan for fantasy it to have two or three armies. I have vowed not to purchase anything until have what I own painted and table ready. I only have a few hours per week. I have not played with either of my two armies. I have heard it is bad form and bad luck to battle without warpaint. But I am learning the rules.

  • Avatar Image rosspot83197p said 3 months, 1 week ago:

    Who told you it’s bad luck. GW staff. Dude if you are new and still learning the rules, if it’s GW staff, do the opposite of them. Those boys couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

  • Avatar Image brennon618p said 3 months, 1 week ago:

    I have had other armies in the past, but I have either sold them or they have become the spawn of many a dungeon in D&D. So my current lot is…

    2500+pts of Dwarfs

    And I have plans to either start a Beastman army, or go with my roots and first army for warhammer which is Skaven.

    Skaven were my first too. Love them because of the fact you quite often kill yourself at a critical role. Fun to play.

    Indeed it’s why love playing a Clan Skyre list occasionally as I’ll either blow the enemy away or I’ll blow myself up but either way it’ll be funny. Also remember if something does go wrong with your skaven it was because of that chieftain over their who wanted your army to fail so he could then sweep in with his force and take all the credit so tampered with your equipment or let the enemy army know what you were planning to ruin you.
