1: Dark Elves, between 2000 and 3000 points. None of the rest of my collection is included as they have not been tested in battle or are even a remotely cohesive or balanced build. Got some Empire lying about, quite a few Spess Mehereens (mostly infantry), 2 CSM HQs and a single squad of troops, a smattering of Eldar Aspect Warriors and a single Avatar, the Orks from Black Reach, a single Lelith Hesperax model and a few Lotr minis.

Of course, I could include my Dystopian Wars fleet to this as well, but I wouldn't consider it 'done' as I have yet to get any land forces or the Dreadnought (it's just a starter box and a few flyers) and I have no idea what the tourney limit is.

The same would go for my INFINITY models, but in addition I've only assembled 3 out of the 6 in the box set.

**Zalmout**

By my standards my armies won't be complete until I can field an entire apocalypse team by myself.

**djdutton**

I have full armies (meaning 2500+ pts and all assembled) of Space Orks (all painted), Thousand Sons (all painted), Grey Knights (Mostly painted, when will I get to painted those last seven termies?) and Skaven (about half painted, 200+ models is a lot of work :/)

Is it bad that I already want to get a Warriors of Chaos army going?

**Dannyrevv**

No such thing as a finished army for me!

Agreed. An army is never done

**axeman1n**

You can finish any army by have every model possible to field in every slot. I'm not recomending this, but I almost achieved this with my necrons. I have 10 lords, one of each wargear variant I use. I have both C'tan. I have over 30+ immortals, 10 Paraiah and over 20 Flayed Ones. I have 120 warriors. I have over 9 Wraiths, over 20 Scarabs, and over 15 Destroyers. I have only 6 H-Destroyers, and Tombspiders, but I have 4 monoliths. To complete the army I needed to buy 6 more Flayed Ones. 4 More Scrabs. 3 HDestroyers, and 3 Tombspiders.
That's as close as I've ever gotten to completing any army. As for the poll answer, I just included those armies I can field in any tournament 2500pts or below.

**Comrade**

I got:

IG Army (10,000 point 400 models) painted
Necrons (2000 points) Painted
Orks (5000 points 300 models) painted
IG army (Another one. 4000 pts, 200 models) painted

Bretonnians (with M@A hordes) Painted
Vampire Counts (Skeletal Hordes) painted

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

Zero. Or, well, none that I'm not ashamed of the size of.

**BlapBlapBlap**

But I do have:
Space Marines (2000 pts)
Imperial Guard (WIP- 1500+ pts)
Sisters of Battle (odds and ends for the heck of it)

I agree. Always something more or a new codex or sumphin'

**Howard A Treesong**

Two; Undead and Dogs of War. Though I keep adding to them, I could put them fully painted on the table top.

**LordWynne**

I started Warhammer 40K early 1986 as a Test
Player in that Game Con in LA, My first Army was a Crimson Fist Force about 2,000.

List:
2,000 Crimson Fist Marines. 1986-97
4,000 Khorne Marines. 1986-98
2,000 Dark Angel Marines. 1987-2005
2,500 Sam Hain Eldar. 1987-2011
1,500 Space Dwarf Biker Army 1987-2011
2,500 Blood Axe Orc Force 1987-1990
2,500 Genstealer Cult Force 1986-99
1,500 Zoat Force 1986-95
2,000 20th Century IG 1986-2011

0. I'm also a very sad person.

Aw, don't be sad. Huggle the cuddlefex. You'll feel better after a nice snuggle.

4 (the 3 whfb elves, eldar), but I only consider them done because I stopped using them. An army you're still using is never done.

**IG GENERAL**

Black Templars, one crusade's worth;
Pre 2011 Inquisition ( not grey knights), every figure bar one;
Ultramarines, about 2 companies last time I looked;
SoB: about 2 troops worth, tagged onto my inquisitors;

IG: A LOT, in fact too many now. I just built a 8X4(feet) gaming table to try a shot for the army showcase thread, and had finished laying out tanks when I noticed I NEED ANOTHER 8X4 for the infantry.

**Durza**

1, Chaos Marines, but I wouldn't class them as complete until I can't fit the army on the board any more.

**templarsandorks?**

I never 'complete' armies i just move on and will add some stuff to them later

**HAZZER**

Nil. both my army's are still very WIP. You can see them on my plog, , lionk in signuture.

**Xeriapt**

0, no army is ever complete.

**CrazyMez**

A Complete Army?? No such thing?

**admiral9**

im just planning to start with tau and continue with those until i have about 3000 points so i gues about 5-6 years and after that maybe dark eldar 9or chaos but at the moment i have 0 armies

**tauxnimrod**

an army is never complete lol

**Trondheim**

I have two complet armies, Beastmen and Easterlings.
6k+ worth of Beastmen
3k+ of Easterlings

**Zambro**

0, unfortunatly...

Gotta paint up a drop pod and a land raider crusader then i have 1!!!

but that is going to take time...

**sam0**

I own an ork army that is constantly being added to but it is enough to play about 2000pts at my FLGS

**Sinful Hero**

I have Tyranids and Dark Eldar, while I have enough models to do what I want with them, more are always wanted.

I only have my Tyranids partially painted, with the rest being primed; all my DE barring vehicles are primed. Now I just need to make the time to paint them all...

**Locclo**

Personally, I find it really hard to believe that over a hundred and fifty people have seven or more complete armies...

I voted 0, if only because I feel that no army is ever really complete. One guy at my FLGS has played Orks since 2nd Edition (about 90% of his army is 2nd edition models, minus a few recent additions) and he's still adding models to his army.

The problem I see is that unless you have truly mastered your army's tactica, you'll always find new ways to play them, new ways to abuse unit combinations, and of course, new fluffy army lists to run.

**evildrspock**

I used to have:

Eldar
Tyranids

I could regularly play fully painted armies with these.

currently, I only have my Space Marines that are fully painted, athough ... I'm constantly working on the final cleanup/basing stages. I figure, get the models playable, then clean up super-fine details as I make time for it.

**Howlin' Mad Murdrean**

I consider my tau and space wolves to be complete

**JamesY**

7+

Using 1k+ as a basis for a gameable army, I have;
Grey Knights
Inquisition
Orks
CSM
Assassins
Cult Mech
Skitarii
Space Marines
Legion of the Damned
Harlequins
CWE
DE
Tyranid/genestealer cult
Imperial Guard
Daemons
30k Iron Warriors

For fantasy
Ogre Kingdoms
Dark Elves
High Elves (IoB set)
Tomb Kings
Vampire Counts
Warriors of Chaos
Stormcast Eternals (AoS starter set)

Then loads of other bits, three small warmachine forces, two dystopian wars fleets, two infinity starter sets, countless warbands for Songs of Blades and Heroes, and my old barbarian tribe from grenadier that I've had for more years than I'll admit to...

**amazingturtles**

If I finish my tiny squads of space marines for kill team, would they count as complete? i suppose they would because they're compete for the task and the game i intend them for, even if they wouldn't be for other games.

So my answer is zero for now, but hoping for one soon!
