An ex 40k player here.

Throughout my entire time I "collected" pretty much every army out there, as I was one fickle little sod.

The only ones I bought enough to actually make an army out of were Necrons and they were around 1500pts apiece.

I also collected the Lord of the Rings "warhammer" and that's why my 40k army was never that large.

To add to discussion, may I suggest you also post your army/race OP?

I'm a huge fan of 40k, but since I'm a student I currently don't have enough money or space for that particular hobby. Back at my parents house, however, I have ~500 points worth of Space Marines and Chaos.

I had a decent amount of Chaos. Don't know how many points. Mostly unpainted.

Had some Tau too. Mostly unpainted.

And I don't play much, mostly because I SUCK AT PAINTING.

So I mostly just play the video games.

Been playing for a couple of years. Have about 2500 point Necron Army and a secondary Chaos Army (Slaanesh, Angels of Ecstasy) just because there is more variation and they are more fun to paint... I think I have roughly 1000 point's there.

I used to play, had about 1000 points of Tau. I prefer warhammer fantasy though. Got about enough of that to fill every cupboard in my house.

Wanted to play 40k, but too expensive for the likes of me
If I could I'd build an Imperial Guard army based off the Tanith First and Only


On a side note, has anyone seen the 40k movie, Ultramarines? I feel like I'm the only one who saw it

Been playing 40K (and other GW games) longer than a good chunk of GW's target audience has been alive.

Pretty much exclusively Eldar for 40K, and points.... Hmm. Probably at least seven or eight thousand points, I haven't totaled it all up in quite a long time.

I'm a big fan of 40k, but currently on a bit of a long term hiatus from the hobby due to lack of money, time and people to play it with. My main army was an Imperial Guard one of around 3500pts, though I also had various smaller 500-1500pt armies of Tyranids, Orks, Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines too.

I saw it. Wasn't bad.

OT: I have around 1500 points of Tau and something similar of Blood Angels (mostly borrowed from my cousin, who gave up 40k in favour of, um, doing whatever it is Goths do). I frequently play with my group of 3 close friends, who (at the moment) have Nids, Imperial Guard and Dark Eldar. Most recently we played a game where the outnumbered Guardsmen had to do a last stand in the middle of the table - it was fun.

I saw it, and surprisingly, it was the most accurate representation of Ultramarines ever. Before Matt Ward began masturbating over the Smurfs, the only actual combat scenario regarding the Smurfs was Mccragge, where they were almost wiped out.

So watching a squad follow incredibly stupid tactics was very accurate to the fluff.


OP. I own a ton of Imperial Guard models, but I never got round to actually playing or even finishing painting them. That said, I love the universe.

I got a few packs of Chaos Marines last Xmas, and turns out I can't paint for crap. Depending on my mood I like every race though, except Eldar.

I've seen the movie too it was good.

I first started collecting back in the days of sustained fire dice, when Epic 40000 was popular and they still had Squats!

I used to play Imperial Guard. Back then they could field land raiders assault troops and multi-meltas (The first two imp guard miniatures I ever had were two heavy weapons specialists. One was lining up his heavy bolter the other had his multi-melta lugged casually across his shoulder). Shame they can't use landraiders and bike squads anymore but all the new goodies are all fun fun fun.
