I used to. Some years ago I had.. Three main armies, and a few smaller ones.

Major army was Imperial Guard, three full platoons of troops, A tank platoon including a baneblade in my later years.

Space Wolves, smaller than IG, but still stupidly over the top (I never got to play a game with any army at full capacity ). Mostly troops, with two land raiders and a small squad of land speeders, a 'command' Rhino for Ragnar Blackmane and his assorted wolf units :B

And a much smaller Blood Angels group, which focused heavily on rapid deployment and close combat, assault terminators, and pistols/chainswords. Quite a large bike group, too. They were my army of choice against Orks >.>

I also had a small group of Necrons and Chaos marines

Space Marines. I painted them to be an Ultramarines chapter because that's what they looked like on the box, lol. Don't play so much anymore. It's my dream to get an army with max troop selection and each troop selection be a scout squad in which everybody has sniper rifles. I don't have the money, however.

i played a few years ago, played SM's
I liked the painting side of things alot, so i never really had a set chapter, made up a bunch of my own
but i stopped playing/ collecting
cause
at that time i wasn't driving, and didn't have a job, to pay for the very expensive figs

but im getting interested in it again
i might pick it up again if i get some spare money

I've seen the pieces around, but I never really got into it. I do remember wanting to try it and not having the money.

Not worth it. When anything can be ret-conned at the drop of a hat, and the costs are arbitrary, and the players are a mixture of arrogant, wealthy and rare (Not just half-baked)... what is there to play?

Yes, I am annoyed by the lack of Squats (Dwarves) in a universe with copious variations of Eldar (Elves). The recent rework on the mechanics hasn't done anything for me either.

I picked up figures at a garage sale, but I've never really been able to buy them new.

As an avid fan of both the RTS and the tabletop versions of WH40k, I can say, after 5 or so years of neglecting the models, I got Dawn of War, soon sunk me right back into the whole thing once again.

Even the 40k novels are good!

yeah
i have read a couple even when i havent bin into the figs and i must say they are pertty good
Warrior Brood by C.S. Goto was a great read

I was GOING to start playing this game... but never got into it.

Orks, all the way. I started with Marines (Didn't everyone?) but I just love the Ork playstyle - lots of Orks and basically overwhelming your opponent. I kinda stopped playing after they introduced the 'new' rules and Tau, because it got too expensive. It's great fun custom painting your own army and building your own battlefield though.

I wanted to learn but got into painting them. I have Nids & randomly paint Orcs. Maybe I may play them but I don't have too many to make an army.

I used to paint for players, but I didn't play myself. I'm not a huge fan of tactics and strategy (big surprise there, huh?) but there were a number of people who wanted their figs painted, but didn't like doing the painting or weren't good at it or whatever.

I was making a pretty nice bit of money doing it...$3/standard fig, then the price went up for larger things and whatnot. Close friend of mine at the time owned the game store we all hung out in, and so all the 'regulars' got discounts and stuff....every dime I made painting figs went right into buying new books and cards, so he'd give me the paint and supplies for free.

Thursday night was 'fig painting night' -- all the hardcore painters/collectors would come in and paint their figs (not just for 40K, but for D&D minis, etc.) and hang out and bullshit and whatever. Hell, he even stocked and sold brake fluid!

Tau all the way.

The last I seen this played was over 5 yr.s ago with a band of guys I knew who if their guys lost, they would chuck them across the room to a wall. they would shatter in many peices & all I would hear after this odd sound was "That'll teach you to make ME lose a game!"

It's a odd sight when you see figures fly to a wall as you sit in another room.

I never really got into the game, instead I got into the hobby of painting and terrain creation. I've been browsing around trying to find different minis for cheap so I could paint them too.

I like the errata that goes along with it, and Dawn of War, oh... Dark Angels FTW.

I have watched quite a few games, and always wanted to play, but alas.. never got the chance.

Well if you ever out this way Spot you welcome to play with peeps I know. I promise they won't toss any minis at you.

Cheep minis are every where. E-bay is the best but even a local game store that needs to push old minis out. I have some old school nids that look killer now with the right paint job.

Er.. lets see.

Undead, and eldar and imperium in Epic. I still ahve some of my titans, the old warlord shape with the curvy carapace. mmmmm.

But then they trashed eldar in the 3rd ed rules. so I quit 40k.

I kept on playing undead for a while though. My best unit? mounted wights, two special characters. one vampire count with the sorwd of destruction and vlad von carstein, chavved up with all his bling innit.
unit charges in, sword of destrution makes them lose all their items, vlad jumps their special character and ices him.

favourite miniature: Possibly Terminator Chaplain or assault marine for 40k. they just look so cool.

As for Fantasy, I'd have to say the new forest dragon style miniature looks really cool. though I did like the dwarven throne miniature as well.

I had an army of Chaos creatures - my ex and I used to play

My Space Marines were Lime and Hot Pink

I used to play... but i dont anymore... it was fun though...

I used to have an eldar army. then got rid of them and my books.

if Im honest its just too expensive as a hobby. lookking at the prces now I wonder what the hell I was doiong.

tahts why im looking forward to Age of Reckoning. and the 40k mmo when it comes out.
