If I am to be honest I only have Beasts of Chaos at the moment, 3000 points or so. I have some more beasts to buy and have'nt paint it allt yet but allready I'm looking for another army (not a NEW army 'cause beasts rocks).
And, offcourse it will be skaven. Don't know if I'll go very, very skryre or a bit moulder.. Tough choice.

I've got:

6500pts of painted Skaven
7000pts of painted Dark Elves
3000pts of painted Vampire Counts

I'm also thinking about starting a Dogs of War army sometime in the future.

You also got an empty bank-account?

And did I just read 16.5k PAINTED models..of wich 6.5k are a horde-army..*cough**swallow* Oh my gawd. Table-top quality?

Luckily I'm at a point in my life where I have some extra time and money (read as single, very single) and I have a compulsive personality (read as I must buy more)...

The quality of my armies are table top plus a little, when I get my camera back from my Sister in law, I'll put up some pics of my armies.

A few months ago I went to GW's online store, and entered my Skaven army as if I were going to buy it from scratch... Over 400 models... almost $1400... What the hell was I thinking :)

Obviously, you were thinking, "I need more models." :D

Even as you were doing the search, I assume. :D

i would have a bumber sticker saying "My Other Army is Wood Elves" except that they're stuck in a time warp somewhere in the mid '90s... <sigh>

How about, "I'd rather stick to unofficial Wood Elves than look at Ogre Kingdoms."

Or, "Your mother is an Ogre, but this ain't no kingdom."

"Hey elves, take off your dress and fight!"

From fantasy I have:
-2000/3000 painted/total -> Skaven
- 0 /6000 -> Dark elves (they need a make-over ;) )
- 0 /1500 -> Bretonnians (army deal+a little stuff)
- 0 / 500 -> Goblins, I geuss it was a mistake to buy them :P

From 40k:
-1500/2000 Dark Eldar
-1500/2000 Tyranids (planning a make-over as well)

So as you may see, I don't really get about to painting much, only 40k for some strange reason no-one can explain (I like fantasy much more than 40k). I've been playing for about two years now, so hoping to get some stuff painted! ;)

I still haven't answered this one, I see. Strange, I thought I did...

Anyway, Skaven are my first and favourite army. 3500 points or a bit more. (And a couple of hundred unpainted.)

Orcs & Goblins are my second army. I like the way they play, but the background is lousy ("lets bash sumthing, ladz") and the models aren't too good either. 3000+ points, I can also field 2000 points of 'Ardboyz from my collection.

Dwarfs are my third army. I love the models, especially the beards and the Flame Cannon. Their background is fairly nice, I like the Book of Grudges in particular. However, they are too slow and defensive for me to really like their style of play. I still use them about as much as the Skaven, because I did a much better paint job on the models. I love using a good-looking army. 2000 points. (And 500 unpainted.)

I also have about a 1000-1500 points of Bretonnians left over from 5th edition. Back then they were a proper 2000 point army, but I never really got round to converting them to 6th edition. The unit of Grail Knights must have been lying around unpainted for 7 years or something, a record for me.
"I have a post-Armageddon vision. We and all other large animals are gone. Rodents emerge as the ultimate post-human scavengers. They gnaw their way through New York, London and Tokyo... within 5 million years, a whole range of new species replace the ones we know. Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats. Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge?"

I played 40k first, got around 2000pts of painted Dark Eldar (but they dont really exist now do they?? :angry: ) and around 2500 points of Space Wolves with the exception of three models and a very uncooperative backpack are fully painted.

For WFB ive just began my skaven (collecting is slow going w/o an income) so around 1500 and looking for more (see my army list draft if you have input) and im goin halfsies w/ my bro on a vamp army.

I don't collect other armies (yet). Skaven is my first army.
If I'm going to collect a second army (later on), it would be Tomb Kings or Ogre Kingdoms (I think).

I have a small 2k skaven army, and a 1k Dark Elf army. Althrough I buy more for my skaven. Because I want a real horde of them. And my friends don't really mind if I use clanrats as Dark Elfs :P Howe ever. I find DE a more tactical army to play, but skaven much more fun!
