Hmm. I tried to make a count of all that's painted and I came up with the following:

Roughly 400 painted VOID figures, if not 500.
About 50-60 painted postapocalypse/near future skirmish figures.
A company of USF Troops for Conquest Galactica (15mm, around 100 figures).
A Mobile Infantry army for Starship Troopers, in the region of 50 figures.
Assorted stuff and skirmish clocking in at about 100 painted.

Not too bad, although I have too much lying about unpainted :\

Back when I was conducting playtesting and demos of Guard du Corps, I had many Napoleonic armies. For each of the significant powers I had at least 30 foot Bns and many more Cavalry regiments and arty batteries. Minor powers had at least 10 foot Bns.

For Induanas Colonels and Emirs, I had a large Dervish army, Zulu army and a british Army as well as a Chinese Imperial and a Boxer army plus an International army of 30 Bns.

In DBM-FoG I have a Pontic army, Bactrian-Greek, Russ, Viking, Imperial Romans, Three Kingdom Korean, A Western Saheal and a Burmese army.

All of these were 15mm.

In the 10-12mm range I have a dozen armies for the SciFi rules Distant World Battles.

Kevin.

and my Star Wars stuff, and more 6mm stuff (around four divisions each of Brits and US).

Plus the Russian & Japanese fleets for the RJW.

all painted, based and ready for action:
15mm
2 battalions each for Battlefront WW2 covering German & DAK, British 1940 & 8th army, US infantry, France 1940, Italy. Plenty of supporting tanks and other vehicles of a company for each type.
20mm
1 company each including support weapons for WW2 covering German: Regular infantry, para's, & DAK
British: 1944 infantry, para's and 8th army
US: infantry and para's
France, Italy and Poland infantry
supporting tanks, AC and other vehicles also for all nations.
Micro armor
Again all WW2 and enough for a battalion for each nation,
US, Britain, France Germany and Italy.
1/2400 and 1/6000 WW2 ships except for destroyers, 1 of every ship that fought. Had to limit the destroyers or I'd run out of storage room.
1/300 WW1 and WW2 aircraft--enough of each type to keep a dozen players occupied.

I have a lot of painted miniatures, but I don't really have any "armies".

I don't play any games that are tournament-style or have army lists, so I don't have anything organized by "army".

I do have all the ships (down to individual destroyers) for all the nations available in 1/6000 scale from the Pre-Dread period through WWII. Does that count?

I have the following

WFB CLassic Slann army 3000 points

Star Wars Empire force. about 100 minis (WEG lead minis)

Blood Bowl- Goblins,Skaven Chaos Dwarves, Undead, Lizardmen, Amazons, Playboy Bunnies, Orks

Lots of Kaiju Figures over 400. Many repainted by me.

Doctor who Harlequin/Black Tree

50 Daleks
20 Spider Daleks
30 Cybermen
almost all the comapnions
20 Sontarians
30 Autons
50 Unit troops
20 NBC troops for Unit

I can honestly say that none of my armies are ever finnished that I still own, when I finnish a army, I normally sell it and start again with a different or better qaulity figure.

Current projects
28mm WAB
Babylonian :- nearing completion 3000 pts (about 300 pts yet to do nand two units with sheilds, and I would like to go back and do the chariots with designs)
Republican Roman :- finnished it sold it (elite) bought First Corps so far completed five units of 24, still 6 to go along with cav, elephant, allies and bolt thrower.
Imperial Roman:- 5 units of 24

Other systems 28mm
ECW had a Royalist 15mm painted and sold, moved to a foundry and perry army 50% painted (all cav, arty done and two pike and shot blocks of 48 along with 54 highlanders), need to complete remaining two pike and shot blocks and some more dism dragoons) for november club game.

FIW/7YW:- Had a british old glory and Eureka FIW army 8 units of 24 figs, sold, than bought First Corps, conquest and eureka, so far four units painted with 12 more to go all 24 figs per unit except highlanders (40)

FIW/7YW French:- had a Old glory army 5 units all 24 figs, sold bought 8 Front Rank 24 fig units, none yet painted but I need them for a demo game in October.

Napoleonics
15mm I have had Naps bats armies and sold them to fund change of scale to 28mm
British
Austrian (huge)
Spainish

28mm
Austrain had a 12 unit of 16 figs for shako plus arty and three regts cav(old glory) sold bought 8x 48 figure Foundry plus elite cav for ITGM GDB

French: 16 x 32 fig Minifigs btns plus 6 regts cav (24 figs)
sold them bought Old Glory repainted 18 btns plus six units of 24 cav and four btys of arty (last one on Ebay Now!), sold, bought Elite to replaced the lot only repainted 4 btns of Infantry and six regts of cav.

German states Old Glory 12 btns of 32-36 plus bty guns and two units of cav, slowy sellling and replacing with Front Rank and firing line.

Sweedish 16 btns of 32, plus 6 regts 24 cav, a few guns all minifigs, sold them still not replaced as no one makes decent sweedish yet!

British minifigs and Prince August, six btns of 32 plus arty and cav all sold replaced the lead with Elite as yet only light inf skirmishers and rifles repainted for 1815 (still have a few years till the 200th anniversary)

Prussian Minifigs 8 btns of 32, plus guns and cav sold, not yet replaced as I want to do a 1806 army.

ACW
had a 15mm army for Fire n Fury sold, bought a dixon 28mm army painted and sold bought a Mark fenlon Army for JR3 so far 16 x 16 fig btns completed, cav guns, with five more inf btns on the process line at the moment as I need them for a demo game in September.

the short answer is…

Too many for sense to justify….

Stop cheating! They're only armies when they're painted!

forgot huge 20mm ww2 armies and modern 20mm and fantasy, oh dear i think I have a disease.

probaly would of been easier to say look at my displaced minis site although it is down at the moment :(

cheers
matt

Hmm, Ok. let's see. These are all the comnplete, painted armies.
3 28mm Bronze Age armies (New Kingdom Egyptian, Hittite, Assyrian)
3 25mm Classical armies (Hoplites, Achamenids, Macedonians)
3 20mm Classical armies (Imperial Romans, Celts, Parthians).
(These are all a couple of hundred figures and up)

60 or so 28mm Dark Age vikings and saxons for skirmish games
20mm Parliament and Royalist armies for ECW.
(300 or so figures per army)
60 or so 28mm Pirates, plus a couple of ships (more being painted, along with some Royal Navy).
25mm British, French, Spanish, Portuguese Napoleonics (200-300 figures per army), plus a few Austrians and Prussians.

1:72 WW1 planes (5 painted so far, plus telescopic stands)

Next project: 1:600 WW2 planes + stands.

Yeah, I'm definitely printing this thread. Next time someone says I have too much figs, I'll just make them read it!

Over the years I've had a myriad of forces in any number of scales and periods…a lot has been sold , so right now in my possesion there is:

15mm napoleonics – about 4,000 figs all nationalities_ not played with for 10 years.

In use:

28mm Napolenics:
about 4,000 french and allies
about 3,000 Prussians
(My mate has a similar number of russians)

20mm WWII

about 800 german figures, 300 tanks and artillery pieces etc for mediterranean
about 200 US figures…100 vehicles

Russian work in progress…1,000 figures, 100 vehilcles

that'll do for a while

Amazed at how much stuff people have.

Painted

Circa 750 x 25mm ECW for both sides about 180 of these are cavalry
Circa 400 x 15/18mm Napoleonic French

41 x 1/285 WW2 planes
25 x 1/144 WW1 planes

Misc
About 75 other 28mm painted (Sudan/pirates/pulp)
2 x 1/1200 ships painted and rigged

Unpainted
70 AB Naps and some terrain bits

Okay lets see all in 6mm heroics and ros
1) 1866-70 Austrians
2) 1866-70 French
3) 1870 Prussians
4) 1866-70 Danish
5) 1866-? Russians
The plan is now to redo these with 10mm Pendraken figures. I have started on the French.

Seven Years War Baccus
1) French/German allies (more or less done)
2) British/German allies (more or less done)
Adler
1) Austrians (about half done need to rebase or replace with Baccus)
2) Prussians (same as above)

A bunch of modern GHQ almost all infantry
1) Egyptians 1967-73
2) Jordinians 1967-70's (small amount)
3) Syrians 1967-90's
4) Russians/Soviets 1970's-90's
5) Misc Africans/Muslims/Balkan types
6) 1990's British both desert and Europe/Balkans

WWII Adler
1) some Africa Korps, Spanish Blue division, Russians and Hungarians.

15mm Peter Pig
1) 1918-20's RCW Reds
2) 1918-20's RCW Whites
3) 1918-19 Polish (about a small army group)
4) Spanish Civil War International Brigade

The majority of the rest is a big mess of stuff not close to armies. I tend to loose focus so these tend to end at a few bases and then something else.
