Model Collections

[Morollan]

I was just flicking through my codex and I realised that with the exception of Seth (cos I'm not a Flesh Tearer), Tycho (cos I hate the model) and a Scout Bike squad, I have at least one of every unit in the codex. God knows what the points value of that lot is.

 

So I was just curious as to whether anyone else has this sort of size army or if you guys are more selective in what you collect and paint?

[JamesI]

My current collection is every special character (baring Tycho and Seth, coincidentally), 2 librarians (1 jumpy, 1 terminator), 3 chaplains (2 jumpy, 1 foot), 3 more priests (2 jumpy, 1 foot)

 

4 dreads (frag cannon, 1 pair of fists, 1 pair of talons, 1 libby dread)

1 Sanguinary Guard squad

10 Terminators I'm currently trying to convert to being 1 tactical squad, 1 assault squad

1 Sternguard squad

 

3 jumpy assault squads

1 razorback assault squad

 

Enough extra assault marines that I could build 2 more razorback squads or 1 rhino squad

 

10 DC

 

Enough Devs to run 2 10 man squads.

 

a Vanguard Squad

6 attack bikes

2 speeders

 

3 Vindis

2 Baals

1 Land Raider (hoping to convert into a Crusader)

 

About 15 scouts, varied between combat and snipers

Probably enough extra models to build a tac squad (or a third dev squad) as well if I really felt like it

 

Still awaiting building, the stormraven and an Honor Guard.

[PD78]

Assembled?

20 Assault Marines

20 Sternguard Vets

15 Vanguard Vets

4 Dreads (All variations magnetized)

And a bunch of random crap still on sprues or sitting in unopened blisters until I need them/can afford the commission to get them painted. I have a deal worked out with one of our resident painters - $250 for every 3000 points, and an extra $50 for heavy conversion work.

[IronKobra]

My model collection has decreased in size over the last year due to wanting to kind of start afresh and fund getting new models. I was a child of 2nd ed and used to play battles in excess of 10.000 points over a whole weekend and went a tad overboard! I actually stopped playing when i realised how much money i spent on it and realised I could of bought the drum set i had always wanted! But at one time, my collection looked kind of like this:

 

Dante, Meph, Tycho, Corbs, Lemmy (old version) (have all these still except lemmy)

 

2 Priests, 2 Techmarines, 3 chaplains, 4 converted (horribly) libbys, 2 standard bearers (have all these still)

 

10 DC with jump packs, about 25 foot sloggers (i actually still have all of these, old metal styles and old old versions)

 

6 x 10 man Tactical squads (mix of original clip together and the more recent multipark kits) think I have 3 left

 

2 x 10 man Dev squads (metal versions with shoulder slung heavy weapons)

 

2 x 10 man Assault Squd (1 plastic, 1 metal) (still have these too)

 

5 x Metal dreads of various patterns (still have my 2 multi melta and a furioso)

 

3 x Land Speeders (1 metal, 2 plastic) (still have these)

 

9 x Bikes (including the upgrade metal squad) sold all those

 

1 x Attack bike (sold)

 

1 x 5 man Assault squad (metal, Dante's honour guard) SOLD

 

1 x 5 man combat squad (used as an escort for tycho) still have

 

1 x 5 man Scout Squad (metal) cant remember if i sold these or not :s

 

2 x Assains (vindicare & eversore) still got those

 

1 x Termi captain (old old version) cant remember if i have him still

 

1 x Land Raider

 

1 x Pred anniilator

 

 

That was back in my school days...much of mu collection was initially handed down to me by my cousin and older bro

[BOBMAKENZIE]

Assembled but needing repaints and some minor fixing in some cases:

 

Dante

Mephiston

Converted Corbulo

Converted Tycho

8+ Captains

6+ Priests

2 Chaplains

1 Termie Libby

10 Honourguard with Jump Packs

15 Death Company with Jump Packs

5 Death Company without Jump packs

10 DeathCompany with Sang Guard packs that I flip flop with

60 Tactical Marines/Devastators in various states of disrepair or unpainted

40 Assault Marines with Jump Packs

20 Assault Marines without

2 Attack Bikes

2 Converted Attack Bikes

2 Converted Scout Bikes to Attack Bikes

1 Scout Bike

20 Metal Scouts with BP &CCW/Shotguns

30 Legion of the Damned Scouts I use as Scouts in my army

20 Assault on Black Reach Terminators

Space Hulk Terminators (I have a separate set for my game as well)

10 Tactical Terminators

5 Assault terminators

3 Dreadnoughts

3 land Raiders

1 StormRaven/Land Raider

10 Rhinos (6 with Razorback turret options)

1 Vindicator

1 Baal Pred

4 Pred Turret/SS sets

 

 

So I need some speeders and some bikes... And otherwise I have way too much that is mostly unpainted poorly painted or poorly built. Of that stuff all the vehicles and maybe the following I really feel comfortable using:

all Terminators

20 Assault Marines with packs

20 without Packs

20 Devastators or tac marines

Legion scouts.

The Characters.

 

With another 40 Marines set aside to probably become another marine army that I counted above.

Last time I counted it was just over 5000 points.

[PD78]

I actually stopped playing when i realised how much money i spent on it

 

That's actually why I stopped playing as well - well, that and I became persona non grata with the local gaming group because of a tendency to not lose. Apparently people don't like that.

 

At my highest point, I had the entire Blood Angels chapter painted to table quality (1000 assorted marines between tac, devs, HQ, assault and scouts, around 40 death company troops, 12 land raiders, all of the named characters, about 18 or 19 speeders, rhinos/razors for all of them, around 10 predators, 8 Baal preds, 4 furioso dreads, 6 "vanilla" dreads - the only thing I was really lacking was bikes. I never much cared for them), around 8,000 points of tyranids (unpainted), and around 2k points of DE (the boxed "starter" set plus a dark eldar battleforce). My collection took up half of my garage and was spilling over into the house.

 

My biggest regret? Selling all of my models for $1500 and free drinks for life at the bar one of the other gamers in our group owned. I actually lost track of how much money I've dropped into the crack habit hobby since I started playing in 1991, but 14 years of playing and collecting kind of gets up there.

[1Drop]

I also started with 40k in roughly 91 but I actually started with 'Hero Quest' (oh the shame) in like 89/90 (not really sure) then the first thing I bought from GW was a box of Chaos Dwarves which an older brother of a friend had painted up and they looked awesome. After that I started collecting skaven (didn't go too far with that) then my first 40k models were a box of Death Wing Terminators which I sold my bike to buy! I found out that the deathwing were part of dark angels so I decided on DA but before I could buy any more models I fell in love with eldar warp spiders and started and eldar army which was my very first army I actually collected. I also had a small catachan army and a small BA army which together was an ok force but I was seduced by the mark of chaos undivided and joined the traitor legions before being persuaded by kharne the betrayer (still my favroutie 40k charicter) to devote myself to Blood God and summoning Khornate daemons from the warp in the form of the Word Bearers which was my last army which I stopped with in 2002/03 until a couple of month ago when I came back from the dark side to represent the 4th in the name of Sanguinius and the Emperor.

 

So that was a brief summary of my modeling career (sorry for boring you all)

 

So far for my BA 4th Company I have (and none of this is finished, most in various stages of completion)

 

Dante

Mephiston

Astorath

Lemartes

1 x Chaplain

10 x Death Company

1 x DC Dreadnaught with blood talons

15 x Assault Marines

5 x DA Veterans converted into honour guard

5 x Assault Terminators

4 x missile launcher devs

4 x plasma cannon devs

4 x lascannon devs (+ 2 dev sarg's and 10 devs with bolter)

5 x sniper scouts (1 has ML)

1 x Dreadnaught with Multimelta and Bloodfist

2 x Attack bikes with multimelta

3 x Razorback with las/plas

1 x Stormraven with TLLC & TLPC

 

I think that's about it for now but I'm gonna be getting 1 x GK pa 1 x DC and 1 x SG kits next week to make my librarians and start off a few more conversions. Then I need 3 baal's and a vindi then I can pretty much let rip with my first list but the. I'm gonna need two dakka predators and three landraiders (2 vanilla, 1 crusader) then I think I'm gonna build a 'Leaf Blower' cadian army cos I love big :cussing tanks... Hahaha

 

Oh yeah... I wanna build one of those Sanctemoni Cruori baneblades, they are awesome.

You commission your models out for others to paint? I used to wish I could get a pro to paint my stuff when I was a kid but I would never want anyone else to paint my army now, it takes away the fact that it's my army if I haven't painted it! I'm the slowest painter ever though, well I'm not actually slow at painting when I get started but I tend to just leave stuff for ages!

I think that is all, Let me know if there is something else I do not have.

[PD78]

I have a pretty nasty nervous tremor in both hands, so my painting ability is about on a par with a blind 5 year old using fingerpaints. I'm more interested in the gaming side of the hobby, so as long as my stuff is table-ready (3 colors and based), I'm not all that concerned with quality - but I do give bonuses for extra quality!

[Rybnick]

I'm actually a little scared to tabulate all the BA models I've bought, but from memory I have:

 

Dante

Mephiston

Lemartes

Brother Corbulo

1 Landraider Crusader/Redeemer

Phew a pretty long list, not all of this is assembled or painted but I think that's pretty much every BA item I have. Still have a few more things to add to the list as well.

[Leonaides]

ballpark figures- 35-40 characters, incl at least 1 of each special, several old oop marines like da and ultras captains and leman russ, 80ish first co half in term armour, 2 battle comps worth of pa marines, 6 rhinos, 4 razors, 2 raiders, 5 preds assorted loadouts, speeders, bikes, 30 scouts, 9 dreads, 3 honour guard/command squads, and a few spare squads of assault and dev marines. Must be in excess of 18,000 pts by now, all painted. And i still use my tac squads from 2nd ed boxed set!

[toaae]

[Brother Nathan]

simple answer.... too big... i really only need tanks. but i cant be bothered to paint tanks...

[Orogen]

Ugh... too many. Thanks for making me think about it! :woot:

Actually, been pondering paring down the collection and selling some stuff on ebay to appease the wife but we'll see.

 

Just moved recently so they're kinda spread about and I'm not going to list them out.

But, its ~15,000 pts with the centerpieces being a Reaver titan (with 4 different arms) and Captain Leonatus.

I do have a magnetized baneblade that I'm thiking of converting into the BA baneblade (can never get its name right) tho I think that's on the chopping block.

 

Not sure whether to count the small allied forces for grey knights and legion of the damned (old minis) any more.

 

Cheers,

-Orogen
