Humor my curiosity. As it stands, I have...
Approx 2k points of Fyreslayers, fully painted and based.
Approx 3k points of Flesh-Eater courts, 1k points worth are painted and based.
Approx 3k points of Stormcast Eternal heroes, of whom only about half a dozen characters are painted and based.
Approx 2500 points of Blades of Khorne, barely painted or based.
1k points of Cities of Sigmar, half painted and based.
Less than 1k points of Lumineth Realm-lords, barely painted or based.
Once I'm further along on these projects, I'd like to get into Sons of Behemat- but that's easily a year or more down the road.

I don't play anything at all anymore.
AOS. WHFB. anything.
I don't have any round based models other than war machines, fanatics and giant squig things.
Primarily life got in the way.
We have a few gamers here though who do.

Iron Golems, Corvus Cabal, Splintered Fang ... oh wait, that's Warcry, never mind. :icon_wink:

CoS - 2400 pts Devoted of Sigmar
Chaos - Skaven/Beastmen - 2490 pts
Gloomspite- 2450 pts
Dispossessed- CoS - 1890 pts
Stormcast - 1880 pts
Big Waagh - 2560 pts

War Cry is Age of Sigmar GP! Also wowzers, I didnt twig you were up to three warbands in Warcry!
I probably have a ton of Age of Sigmar stuff if I'm using old fantasy stuff, but I'm going to focus on new stuff. I long ago kind of moved away from collecting armies and instead collect warbands and slowly growing collections of whatever looks appealing.
So I've got a:
Smallish Fyreslayer warband
1000pt ish skeleton based army
1500 pt ish Night Haunt army (I love Night Haunt)
A big ish Stormcast warband that I've never properly totalled up the points for.
Some random elves of various flavours.
The Kharadron Underworlds warband.
Some random trolls, monsters and goblins.
2 Daughters of Khaine, courtesy of the recent free model thing.
However many points the Khorne army from the starter set is. 1000 ish maybe?

Don't tell anyone! My reputation might be severely damaged. :icon_wink: :icon_lol:

Just you wait till you succumb and buy that Stormcast set!

If I die from covid 19, that won't happen. :icon_wink:
-
As Gankom said, it still counts. Technically, all those warbands have AOS Warscrolls too... :happy:

Cities of Sigmar (Empire) a little bit rebased, lots still as WHFB
Stormcasts
Blades of Khorne (a bit more then the starterset back in the day)
Seraphon (also very little stuff)
Not doing anything with them atm as my focus is on WH40k.
-
Thanks for chiming in ya'll :happy:

That's quite a spread, damn! How do you find Devoted and Dispossessed playing after the CoS book drop?

I hear that. After Animosity II this summer, I finally burnt out on AOS and went all-in on 40k for the first time in four editions. I drifted away during 5th and didn't get pulled back in until 9th dropped this summer.

I love the aesthetics of the devoted but they die like good martyrs 😺
I haven’t played the enough to find their true strengths/weakness. The dispossessed are just recently finished so I haven’t fielded them yet. I’m going to concentrate on gaming for the next bit after the chaos is done. Building up a good narrative and then it’s all bashing.
AoS allows the freedom to use all and everything in a way wfb didn’t. That’s the biggest joy I think.
-
I've been mostly focusing on Star Wars Legion lately. However, I am working on painting up my old Warhammer Quest stuff (Silver Tower, Hammerhal).
-
Right on. I've played Silver Tower quite a bit and enjoyed it; alas, my Hammerhal set is still sitting undisturbed in a closet.
Alex
-
So I guess I could field a Tzeentch Army if I had to. But I don't even have an army book yet.
-
Have:
Lumineth
Disciples of Tzeentch
Ogor Mawribes
Orruk Warclans
Cities of Sigmar
Skaven
Gloomspite
Beasts of Chaos
Stormcast Eternals
Idoneth Deepkin
-
I am loving taking the Underworlds warbands as a base, adding a unit to get a War Cry sized forces, and then slowly expanding it into a legal AoS army. By that point the Underworlds folks all get promoted to heroes or unit leaders.
-
Very nice. I have been snapping up Underworlds Undead.
A part of me would love to pull the trigger on Idoneth Deepkin, but I haven't yet.
-
I hear through the nerd vine that the Deepkin are getting an Underworld warband sometime in the early new year. Might just be the trigger needed!
-
I'm currently working on a Troll army. I have enough models to field an 2000point force.
Maybe not the most competitive, but he the idea is cool :-) They are mostly metal models.
Then for Warcry, I have a Gloomspite warband and an undead warband. Maybe I'm going for some Khadorn Overlords to.

That troll army will be a must see 😺
Sounds crazy awesome!

Blades of Khorne 2500pts + room to summon
Orruk warclans (bonesplitterz) 2500 probably with a bit of room to spare
Gloomspite Gits (squigs) 2000 plus a vast amount of moonclan grots which could probably drag me up to around 5k if I were to utilise them all.
I can’t quite bring myself to use my old world Marienburgers as a ‘city of Sigmar’, the very idea... :closed-eyes:
-
Woah ... Spiney returns! And with a post like that! :icon_eek: :icon_cool:
Welcome back! :::cheers:::
-
Ayy, good to see you, Spiney. Was great having you back in Animosity this summer, even if the Undivided were the least active Coalition :closed-eyes:
With recent releases, I find myself at a cross-roads, with my interest in Blades of Khorne fading and my interest in Hedonites of Slaanesh sparked by the new mortal units. On the flip side, I've already bought, built, and primed my entire BoK army, while the only Slaanesh I have is a Demons Start Collecting I won in a Twitter raffle.

I'm really considering spending 2021 building a full, legal sized fyreslayer army. Although I'm also in the mood to just collect all the little underworlds warbands and make them a showcase collection.
-
Both excellent choices. I love the warbands, myself. Pick and choose, no huge commitment.
-
With the new Warcry books that just dropped, you can pair Underworlds warbands in the same Grand Alliance to make really characterful Warcry warbands. 'Ardboyz with Brutes and Nighthaunt w/ Skeletons come to mind.
Speaking as somebody who's built and painted 2k Fyreslayers, unless you really love the Vulkite sculpts, don't go Vulkite heavy. I find them a bit awkward, and if I could do it over again, I'd go all Hearthguard as they're just "dwarfier" sculpts.
Alex
-
Oh I have no plans to make it a particularly competitive army, so its going to be a weird mix of what I like the look of and field like painting. I'm also not a huge fan of big models, so only the one magmadragon most likely.

Welcome back! :::cheers:::
Just glancing around some of the old forums, please to see that WH-E is one of the few that still has activity
I really must get to painting my plastic squigs this year
Also, regarding my blades of Khorne animosity was really good for me, I got a lot of stuff painted during the campaign that had been lying around in boxes for ages and the army feels more or less ‘complete’ for now. I think the hedonites stuff is technically brilliant and undoubtedly beautiful but it’s not for me really.
I’m still toying with the idea of jumping in with an Idoneth army - I keep coming back to the giant turtle, I think it’s possibly one of my favourite GW minis of recent years. However I’m currently holding off to see how the rumours of vampires pan out, I’ve always wanted to do a vampire army, although wfb vampire counts never quite felt like quite the right fit.
-
Glad to hear that, Spiney :::cheers::: For my part, I've decided to sell off all my Blades of Khorne except for a Warcry warband. That's just enough to enjoy the models I want to paint, without having to paint 60 #@&%ing Bloodreavers with a 6+ save and 5+ Bravery.
Idoneth are definitely cool, and while Lumineth were the pointy-ears for me, I've definitely been tempted after seeing some of my local group's Idoneth players' models up close. There's even a war turtle in my local GW's display cabinet right behind all the figureheads from Animosity II.
Disappointed that the "new army reveal" was just confirming a new Hedonites book which was basically a given anyway. That said, there's still a bunch of Rumor Engines unresolved, so yeah, we'll see. You're not the only one hoping for vampires, and they were hinted at in Broken Realms: Morathi.
Likely won't jump into Hedonites myself until I'm a little further along on my existing projects, but they're definitely on the docket. NewGuy gave me an army premise awhile back based around a greater demon called "the Teller of Secrets" and the ruined homebrew nation of Druze. Three of my Stormcast characters are women from Druze, so the Hedonites would be a great addition to their rogue's gallery in my collection.

I'm waiting to see what that Witch Hunter was all about. I've been picking up undead warbands just because I like the models, and I'd love to have an opponent for them.

I’ve never really been a fan of blood reavers (though I do have 40 of the EtB ones painted -albeit rather hurriedly), I’ve always been more into blood warriors for my battleline section, and briefly bloodletters, back when you could fairly easily get them down to causing mortals on a 4+ and they went through everything like a buzz saw.
-
Yeah, same, and that's where I'm excited to keep a Warcry warband but shed the army as a whole. I have 40 of the ETB Bloodreavers + 20 NIB multi-parts, and even tho I was planning on painting them with Contrast, watching them get removed by the handful in the combat phase is depressing. Ditto Bloodletters, honestly.
