gaurdian31 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I have varying sizes of armies for every faction but Sisters of Battle. I will have an army of them once they get plastic minis. Of my armies only 1 of my DIY Space Marine chapters is painted and my Night Lords Chaos Marine Army. Most armies I have at least 1.5k if not more points. I have been collecting them since I wanna say 2001 so 17+ years make it easy to have that many armies. At least that is what I tell myself....

Frostglaive Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 What I have: - about 5,000pts of AdMech (and steadily rising) - 2,000pts worth of Knights - couple Assassins What I want: - CHAOS (Black Legion, Khorne Daemons, and Renegades) - A small patrol of Deathwatch - Some Inquisitors - Possibly a small contingent of Custodes (no bikes though. I'm not pulling that cheese) - A battalion of scions Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350437-how-many-armies-does-the-average-bc-frater-have/page/6/#findComment-5240864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinespider Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm increasingly looking towards Kill team as a compromise with my inherent desire to own everything. That said, I currently have two armies, and assorted fragments of three more.

Bryan Blaire Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I have a large Unforgiven (Stoneburners) army (full battle company plus reinforcing squads and 1st & 2nd company support), plus about 1500 points each of Angels Encarmine and Drakeslayer Space Wolves. I've got about 1250 points of Farsight Enclave Tau that I'm slowly building up through Kill Team (you can use a Riptide or Ghostkeel in that, right???) and the same for AdMech. I have a small Chaos Marine warband and probably 1250-1500 points of Lugganath Eldar and their Harlie allies, along with about the same of Nids & GSC. Finally, I have a small amount of Orks stashed somewhere that haven't been assembled.

If you're anything like me your primary army is actually Orks and the way other collections dwarf it is just a bizarre happenstance.

Heretic Astartes Iron Warriors as my old main (now retired) Blood Angels Lamenters as my second/support army A single Knight Errant A random assortment of Imperial Guard as support (for tanks, valks, melta vets, etc) Some older Death Guard I'm not sure how I ended up collecting.

Warsmith Annüss Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Ultramarines Death Guard Catachans Plus 3, maybe 4, AoS armies. That's pretty good for me. It use to be so much more.

Reldn Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm currently collecting: Heresy-era Word Bearers Death Guard Blood Drinkers DeathSkulls Orks A few Primaris marines, still deciding what chapter they'll be. I'm also waffling(again) on what my second Heresy-era army will be assembled as: Either Ultramarines or Salamanders.

old git Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Currently - WIP custom Primaris army (the Spears of Eurotas, inspired by the Minotaurs). The Red Tide, a khornate army of three waves (see what I did there?) - the Skull Wave (mortals - marines, cultists, vehicles etc), The Blood Wave (Daemons) and The Iron Wave (mostly Daemon Engines). A bijou Blood Angels force that has only seen the battlefield 2 or 3 times in 8th. Historically, well, where to begin? Night Lords, Space Wolves, Death Spectres (before they were cool), Grey Knights, Red Scorpions, Necrons, Astra Miliguard plus one or two others I can't recall...

Marshal Reinhard Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 2 armies + change. BT and Imperial knights. EDIT: Speaking of which at what point does change become an army of its own? 2 Troops and an HQ?

Xenith Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 EDIT: Speaking of which at what point does change become an army of its own? 2 Troops and an HQ? I'd guess at the point where you decide you want to collect a faction, as opposed to buying a single model or unit to paint.

tylerw Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 One pretty full/complete Space Wolves army (have drop pods, dreads, various tanks/transports, thunderwolves, bikers, jumppacks, and a flyer) A solid force of Tau, although if I were playing it much I'd probably flesh it out - Riptide, stealth suits, broadsides, crisis suits, drones, hammerhead, pathfinders, piranha, fireblade, farsight. some random figures that were good deals or fun modeling - Nid Mawloc, some eldar jet bikes and infantry, and probably a few other things I'm not remembering. So like 1.75ish armies?

shanewatts Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have been mostly playing my Custodes lately, but I more or less can field any army with 2 semi exceptions. 1. I don't own Y'vraine/Y'carne/The Visarch, so I can't technically play a Y'nnari army at the moment. 2. I don't have enough to run a pure thousand sons army, usually they run around with some other chaos friends. Over 20 years of collecting will do that I suppose haha.
