I'm so glad I purchased all my Guard back when they were quite as crazy priced. I can't even imagine starting them now.
$1200 for ~10 infantry squads, two stormtrooper squads, two Vendettas, two Russes.
You probably have like fifty fucking grand of IG dude.
At a rough count off my head I have 4 full plastic Cadian platoon. A full platoon of metal Kasrkins, full platoon of metal Mordians, full platoon of metal Steel Legion, full platoon of Elysians, full platoon of metal Vostroyans. A platoon of Last Chancers and another platoon of Gaunt's Ghosts. A half platoon of Rouge Trader Imperial Army. Like ten Sentinels. 15 Leman Russ equivalents. 6 Chimera, 3 Baneblade equivalents, three Basiliks, an old Griffon, three deathstrikes. An unknown quantity of heavy weapon teams. A Warhound Titian. 9 Valkyries. 1 Vendetta Gunship. 1 Thunderbolt, 1 Arvus Lighter. Like one squad of Death Korps of Kreig.
I think there are others I might be forgetting. A lot of it was acquired from other people so I didn't pay nearly full price. Like the Warhound was a restoration effort.
Other forces:
Full Battle Company of Dark Angel Space Marines.
A large Grey Knight army.
Partial Crimson Fists army.
Random other stuff like a bunch of Orks.
Also I hand painted everything there. All my Guard I painted.
Yeah 15 Russ variants alone is $750 retail,.
What are you calling a full platoon? PCS + 5 squads?
Yeah.
Also each of my sentinels is piloted by a member of this forum an I've kept detailed kill records for each.
Cool note: If you play the IG expansion for Dawn of War 2 there is a meltagun that was given by the CO of my fictional regiment, that I created, to the game's commander so my made up regiment is kinda official. Hector Penny commander of the 6th Arcadian Infantry. They are called "Penny's Arcadians."
Sames. Go to gencon and then I'll go to gencon and we'll be at gencon.
Last time I was in the game store I saw that Space Marines got one man space fighters and I said, fuck this shit.
That said, I still have all these Beastmen and still kinda want to play Fantasy again. I am currently undefeated. Unlike my IG which is currently like 1:5 win loss ratio.

I never got into the table top but I do like the lore of 40k. I read pretty much anything by ADB and DA as well as all the Heresy novels. Some interesting things in the HH books but they have altered some of the lore a bit.
Just finished The Unremembered Empire
By the Emperors holy pubes did they not give Vulkan any cool down after Vulkan lives. Dawnbringer happens to teleport him into the atmosphere of Roboute's world. Has gone completely insane after finally escaping Curzes labrynth. And then gets a spear made from the energy unleashed by Big E long ago and is now trapped in stasis. Guess the whole, no one knows what happened to Vulkan after the Dropship Massacre was just done away with.
Also why the fuck was every Loyal Primach in the Galaxy all in the same system at the same time? Was Calth the only system between Isstavan and Terra? Roboute, Lion, Vulkan, and then Sanguinious. Dorn is the only one on Terra, Corrax is like Fuck...I got mutants now. And I guess we find out about Khan in the next book.
Also after reading the books so far. The entire Heresy boils down to "God Damn it Erebus"
The next Guant's Ghosts book is called The Warmaster.
Don't get your hopes up. Warmaster is technically the title given to the leader of any Crusade composed of forces from more than one sector.
Ie, pretty much any major crusade declared by the Lords of Terra. Although for obvious reasons generally he's called something else (generally Lord Solar, like Lord Solar Macharius, the greatest of all Lord Solars as well as an Alexander the Great expy).
Likewise Chaos bestow the title on any Lord that unites several different factions. You might be a warmaster even if you only command a fighting force of a few cruisers and a squadron of Infidel raiders...

Have you not read the Ghosts series?
This likely means the Ghosts are finally meeting up with the front of the crusade where Warmaster Macaroth is. Along with Brin Milo and possibly even the reincarnated Saint Sabbat as well.

So far the only strike I have against ADB is that in the Emperors Gift, the Battle of Armageddon only gives you one perspective of the fight on the ground. But then everything that happens afterwards goes back into awesome territory.

40k is metal like Bolt Thrower.
I mean, they literally have Imperial Guard and Space Marines on their cover.

LAW!!!
This is why it's called an "abominable intelligence", Rank.
You... have time again?
Kinda? But I don't really have any drive to play.

Oh I know, I usually had a blast playing. Just like 3/4 of the players around here were chaos marines and it just got old.
such a rascal!

Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
Then I look at the prices and I don't feel so bad anymore.
Speaking of money, this is my current project (not my minis, thank the Emperor):
The next Guant's Ghosts book is called The Warmaster.

Best Chaos Marines in the entire Black Library.
I need a sequel to Void Stalker so badly.
Cadian Blood is my favorite one off.
