So lads I've been looking through mid hammer content and discovered that Warhammer fantasy 6th edition had its own version of chapter approved. There was some pretty cool stuff in there like new missions multiplayer scenarios, terrain guide and white dwarf unit profiles but turns out the 2004 book let you run an army entirely comprised of dinosaurs.
They basically took away riders and artillery crews and let the monsters run rampant. I have an old hordes of chaos army I was going to repaint soon but I think that has to wait while I unleash my inner John Hammond and make some dinosaurs.
 
Points. How many do you have in your army? I wanna know how many warhammers youve collected.

2.5k Custodes that took 6ish months on and off to paint. No forgeworld so no tanks which would take me to 3kish

Not sure what current points values are like compared to when I really played which was part of 3E then probably most of 5E and early 6E, but between all my various space marine armies (including heresy shit) I legit probably had 40k+ points. I also have ~2k Tau, probably 3-4k Guard and probably 2.5-3k in Custodes/Sisters of Silence. It would be even higher but some twat nicked my OG Grey Knights and SoB out of my mate's car boot which would have been another~4k between them.

1455 Death guard
~1800 Space Marines

Boarding actions for Genestealers and Khorne daemons
12 different kill teams
and various individual models that I think are cool like an avatar of khaine, farsight, ghazkull, Morvenn vahl, Ephrail Stern, Castellan Crowe, Trajann Valoris, Ahriman, Lelith Hesperix, all necron crypteks, Imotekh, 2 leviathan dreadnaughts.
2760 ossiarch bonereapers (though Nagash the supreme shelfomancer is 900 of that)
1400 Gloomspite gitz
4 warcry warbands and 4 underworlds teams

Kinda a shame that OW was shafted due to being one of the final products before the line closed IIRC. Balance was bonkers, and the sourcebooks included increasingly over-the-top character builds that clearly no-one playtested. An Ogryn Bonehead that dual-wields Eviscerators that can one-shot nearly everything in melee? Sure. What about a priest that burns stuff really, really good and can cause Fear on enemies? Of course!

They were actually going to release a bunch of books for that that was the next ones the Psychics and the specialist units.

My favorite character ever made for only wars a commissary who used an eviscerator.
The point is only war is really fun and is one of the prime examples where GW should go back to working with fantasy flight games rather than the current people they work with wrath and glories **** and generally is the worst TTrpg J I've ever had the displeasure of playin

Points? I have about all the boxes of kill teams before the Femstodes issues dropped and I didn’t want to give GW money anymore.

They did release that Imperium Maledictum game not to long ago, which is like a mix of Dark Heresy and I wanna say Rouge Trader? Theres also the Horus Heresy TTRPg on the way

Around 2955k points worth of Orks, with some more stuff being kitbashed together

About 5k of painted Eldar, plus a smattering of various other armies and a handful of BFG fleets each around 1.5k.

Since you are an Ork enjoyer, is your kitbashed points higher than your normal points?

I just store all my spare bits away for a time that will probably never come. 2.5k Custodes, 5k sisters unpainted or in box, 1.5k drukhari, 2x aeldari combat patrols and 3-3.5k EC will give me a lot of bits that will just collect dust.

Although I've heard Drukhari is as excellent for kitbashing as Orks

If we go by kitbashed, Id say so. Since I have a kitbashed 2 Trukks, Mek, Wurrboi, WIP 2nd squad of Kommandos, WIP 2nd squad of Lootas, Warboss in MegArmor, WIP on 2nd Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun, theres also a Deff Dreadd made of a Imperium Sentinel.
 
I have 25,000 points of imperial guard units it's basically everything I have everything all of the variants of the bane blades all the variants of the tanks a bunch of stuff that's out of print that I bought off a guy who is retiring from the hobby.
I haven't really bought anything from gw in a while because I don't need any more shock troopers.

You could also use the models for only war which I do often because that's what I've been mainly doing when it comes to the hobby is generally just plain rogue traitor and only war
