How often do you complete another fantasy army in 15mm and add it to your collection?

* about once a year
* once every two years
* once every five years
etc.

John Leahy Sponsoring Member of TMP16 Jun 2016 7:14 p.m. PST

There is no set pattern, like most purchases I make.

Never. I don't do 15mm.

The Beast Rampant16 Jun 2016 7:30 p.m. PST

As far as I'm concerned, a better question might be, "how often do I start a new fantasy army"?

Mooseworks816 Jun 2016 7:39 p.m. PST

This year I've done three. The first in over 5 years.

D6 Junkie16 Jun 2016 7:43 p.m. PST

Got 4 already in 15mm
3 in 25mm
3 in 10mm
Oh wait a minute you said complete?
Well never really you just get a bigger table.

21eRegt16 Jun 2016 7:52 p.m. PST

Never. Don't do fantasy armies in 15mm.

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut16 Jun 2016 8:10 p.m. PST

I've started cannibalizing 15mm fantasy armies to provide halflings, leprechauns, imps, etc. for 28mm armies. It is actually a negative number for me!

Micman Supporting Member of TMP16 Jun 2016 8:26 p.m. PST

Never. Don't do fantasy.

I think about it every few years, but haven't started any ever

deflatermouse17 Jun 2016 1:57 a.m. PST

I've started 4 this year and most way through.
Narnia White witch (Going well) Sometimes a Dark Lord borrows it.
Narnia Aslans army (Aslan is proving hard to find)
Undead Army of Darkness (Nearly Finished)
Terracotta warriors buried army (mostly finished, General's chariot to go)

Good comments. I will add mine.

From my own gaming and watching regular customers I would say a new 15mm fantasy army is added by wargamers roughly every three months to four months.

Rarely, but when I do, it is usually a set of Splintered Light animal minis (2 sides) for one of my nieces or nephews, so I make them, then they scurry away.

KSmyth17 Jun 2016 10:30 a.m. PST

I have the figures, but have never finished one.

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP17 Jun 2016 11:54 a.m. PST

Another never.

Frostie17 Jun 2016 11:43 p.m. PST

Never stop adding…..may be not new armies but continue to expand armies I hold…

Human Empire
Human Religious Orders
Human Barbarians
Human Evil, Stygian Empire
Centaurs
Orcs, many different tribes (manufacturers)
Goblins, many different tribes (manufacturers)
Beastmen
Chaos/Demonic
Lizardmen

And still need to add armies from different manufacturers, Battle Valor, Khurisan and Splintered light to name a few!

The collection will never end!! :-)

Gennorm18 Jun 2016 3:29 a.m. PST

Never

This – I have loads of armies 'under way' but at what point do you count them as completed?

Mute Bystander24 Jun 2016 11:54 a.m. PST

This year i started Dwarf and Goblin.

I may add Elves next year or the year after.

Maybe (maybe) in 2019 or 2020 a historical human army with some fantasy elements.

Mooseworks817 Jul 2016 12:10 p.m. PST

I just started three more since my earlier post on this thread. Two of them are based and one is primed and ready to paint.

kenohhkc05 Oct 2016 7:14 a.m. PST

I do about 2 per year. Each one is about 30-50 units. 4 stands per inf/3 per cav. Infantry stands are 3 figs for light/ 4 for med / 6-8 for hvy. Cav stands are 2 for lights/3 for med and hvy.

Almost all are demonworld and copplestone.
