Be warned - you will see how I earned my title in this post!
Well, not that I really keep count once beyond about 3000points...
I guess more than 7500points of Dark Eldar, including 7 Raiders and 3 Ravagers along with Asdrubael Vect. It's
neat to be able to field a really big force when occaision does call for it - I once played a huge 3500point Wych Cult army with seven Wych squads (admittedly I had some warrior/ccw/SP and a couple of Howling Banshees who counted as wyches). Still managed to field about 30 official Wych models and another 20 or more Dark Elf Witches played as nice looking wyches. Ive never played Dark Elves, but I use the Witch models a lot! It breaks up the monotony and allows me to field cool looking all female squads of Wyches! I have at least one of all six of the Wych Weapon models plus several Succubus models. Also have 2 Leliths....
Anyway...Then theres my "secondary army", Dark Angels.
I started off painting the 20 or so marine models Ive had since I began the hobby in DA colours. After about 2 yeards or so of playing Dark Eldar to the exclusion of all I wanted something very diuffeerent. Terminators....Heav
y armour, tough, and move relatively slow. So completely different to DE, you know-paper armour, delicate, and ridiculously fast! So Deathwing became my second army, and a DA detachment naturally grew in tandem with this.
3000points maximum, Deathwing with 37 terminators available with Grand Master and Chaplain plus a Land Raider and two Dreads.
Dark Angels Detachment: Excluding Deathwing, about 5000points. I have almost all the special characters excepting Seargeant Naamaan, he just looks soooo puny plus I have no Scouts apart from Scout Bikers. ANyway, this includes a couple of Whirlwinds, 3 Land speeders (two with Assault Cannons), 2 Biker squads including 5 Scout Bikers who still, by some strange co-incidence, ride Black Bikes! There's many troops, I can field about 100 or so Marines that are currently painted up. I have many robed figures - including a couple of Vet Sgt conversions plus a robed techmarine, robed apothecary, Robed Plasma Cannon, Lascannon and Plasma Guns! It looks soo cool to have lots of guys running around in robes! Even though I don't deliberately collect Ravenwing, it is conceivable for me to field a 1000point Ravenwing force!
Ive got a full Goliath Gang for Necromunda. Not sure what points I can get up to, a fair few Id say, sufficient for all the Necro Ive een playing. In fact we've been playing a home brew mixing in some Inquisitor rules (including the D100 charecterisitics) with Necromunda as a basis. We usually play smaller sized gangs of 5 to 7 models with 1` leader, 1 Heavy and 1 or 2 Juves.
Projects...
Getting much of my marine stuff from ebay - i ended up with about 150 or so marne figures, so I decided I would, at some point, use them for something.... probably in another chapter. Flesh Tearers intrigues me as a rather interesting choice that would also play differently to DE/DA. So 30models (most already assembled) are earmarked for my Flesh Tearers army., I guess this represents about 500points or so. Theres plenty of Missile launchers and Flamers available... Ha, flamers, p'rhaps I should consider Sallies instead!
Lost and The Damned/Emperorer's Kids. Mostly unassembled, I have about 1500points so far. Since so many are still on sprues, Ive decided to mix and match 20 marine models with 2 Chaos boxes, attempting to build up some 36 or so Chaos Marines. More than enough to start my Lost and The Damned Horde with. I figure one squad of possessed and 2 six man squads from troops would be a nice boost for the 90+Mutants I hope to take. hose Mutants are still on sprue, still inside the 5Mutant bags I snapped up. Soon to be acquired is a Defiler and an Obliterator or two.
Dark Elves. My long stalling Fantasy project. I could just about scrape together 2000points with 36 warriors, 5 Dark Riders, 15 Corsairs, a Sorceress, a noble or highborn on Cold One, and some 36 Witches! Mostly unassembled and unpainted except for the Witches and Dark Riders which are fully painted.
And what next? Well, I hope some day to evolve the marines supporting my mutants into a full on Emperorer's kids army. Hopefully by the time I get to this (a year or so before I get through the above, I'd say) my painting will have improved sufficiently to do a really nice job for Emperorer's Children. IMO these really deserve an exciting, vibrant, and especially, well painted result.
The biggest battle Ive played - A 5000point Dark Eldar army vs Necrons and Eldar with a second 5000point DE army pitching in! That was a massive 20 000 point game
and proves that you
can use all your models, or at least a big proportion. This was the culmination of a month's build up between the main four protsagonists in gradually escalating battles. It would have been 25 000points but for the 1000Son player not showing up
Does this answer the question/s?
