By this I mean, do you collect mostly good, neutral, or evil models?
And don\'t just answer, \"Oh, I collect everything,\" because there is a way to tell. You have to check what models you actually have. And if that is inconclusive you have to compare what models you have verses what you have actually painted.
I have been playing WHFB for about 4 years now. Ok, I\'ve been collecting, I have seldom played. I\'ve been trying to amass 4 armies for a gigantic blowout. Two good armies and two bad armies. Every time I have a little extra cash I go and buy a regiment or a hero or some such thing. The armies I have focused on are Dwarfs and Empire for the good, and Vampire Counts and Orcs for the bad.
So anyway I\'m constantly complaining that I don\'t have enough Dwarfs to make an army, and that my Empire group needs work before I can play. So last night I went to see what I actually have to get an idea of what I should purchase next. Here is how it breaks down:
Vampire Counts:
20 skeletons w/spears: painted (P)
1 vampire: P
Orcs:
Grimgor Ironhide: unpainted (U)
Black Orc Command: U
4 Orc Boar Boys: U
20 Goblins: U
20 archived goblins: U
1 Goblin Spear Chukka: U
1 Goblin Shaman: P
1 Goblin hero: P
1 Goblin wolf rider: P
Honorable Mention: Dark Elves:
2 Corsairs: U
Empire:
8 Knights: U
18 Pikemen: U
18 Gunners: U
1 Cannon: U
5 Greatswords: P
1 Wizard: P
20 Freecompanies: P
20 Bowmen: P
1 General: P
Dwarfs:
20 Warriors w/hand weapons: P
10 Longbeards: P
10 Rangers: P
10 Thunderers: P
10 Miners: P
1 Flame Cannon: P
12 Crossbows: U
16 Warriors w/great weapons: U
12 Archived Thunderers: U
10 Archived Warriors: U
1 Organ Gun: U
1 King Alrik: U
1 Anvil of Doom: U
Honorable Mention: Wood Elves:
4 Waywatchers: P

So I can safely say that I predominantly collect \"good.\"
You know, most people would look at this list and think, \"I have a really good Dwarf army. I should start playing with it.\" Some might even go so far as to say, \"I really should beef up my Orcs so that I can fight them with my Dwarfs.\" But what do I think when I see these lists? \"I wonder if I should start playing 40K.\"lol
