You guys all have such mental collections. I myself just have a 4000 pts High Elves (which I will refuse to buy any more until I finish the last unpainted) and 4000 pts DoW. I actually have about a full range of Victrix Greek and Macedon army (Hoplite, Argyraspides, pikemen, Horse companions etc...) which can be instantly pressganged into any DoW lists. As slow a painter as I am, I reckon it would take me about 10 years to have the same agglomeration owned by some of you.

Well it has taken me 20 years so.. To think of it, the total sum of money you guys have poured on GW should have easily solved half of the Third World's Poverty, I reckon

Yeah, 20+ years as well. I started saving chores $ and lawn mowing $ to buy Warhammer dudes back in '94. Back when a box of 10 plastic unipose Skaven clanrats was $12.50. No more, no less.
The real trouble was age 15 to 17. Part time job earning power, but ZERO bills living with Mom & Dad. Before booze, college, road trips, etc. I was able to put 90% of my earning power into GW kits!!!
Even now, once in a while I dust off a kit I purchased 20 years ago and slap some glue and slap some paint. I don't think I have bought a new dwarf since 1999... still have so many unpainted.

Yeah....I have high elves 4,000 points And I have Orcs & Goblins 5,000 points.
Hmmm I see not many warriors of chaos surprisingly.
I was thinking of starting a 3rd army but tbh I should probably finish painting my first 2 lol.
I was thinking lizard men, warriors of chaos, or chaos dwarfs

I hate WoC. They just seem like a one-trick pony. Charge your OP characters at your opponent. Done.
I recommend Lizardmen. They are a strong army that has a lot of various options for good builds. You can go monster heavy (who doesn't like playing with dinosaurs?!?), infantry heavy, quick strike, magic assault, etc. The only real lack of strength that they have is in the artillery department. Even then, they have things like Salamanders, Razordon and bolt throwers (on Stegadon) that can work. Very similar to High Elves except that they are slower, stronger and tougher.
That's just me though. Everyone has their preferences.

Skaven, Dwarves, and Bretonnia, all around 6,000 points.
Dark Elves... when last counted, around 15,000 points. There's been quite a bit of stuff added since.

The answer is always Chaos Dwarfs I could make a legal 1500 point army of Warriors of Chaos. As I love monsters and some of the chaos warriors character models I'd say I have about 5000 points of Warriors of Chaos including Daemon Princes and Dragon Ogres.

Some of our friends quit the hobby and donated their army (OnG for example). My friend/Opponent asks for new miniatures for his birthday and Christmas and such. I also gave him some stuff for New Years. He has lots of money and too many hobbies. Lucky for me

Nice collections all around. I've been collecting for ~20 years as well. Mostly Empire. That's the army I can't stop adding to. The others are at a more reasonable size. This is painted stuff only. I never count/catalog the grey mountain for that way lies madness and despair. Empire: ~20K Warriors of Chaos: ~6K Daemons: 2700 Dwarfs: 1000 Most of my boys in action (with some allies)

Counting painted minis only I have about 5,000 points of dwarves and 2,000 points of lizardmen. I also have about 2,000 points of skaven painted by The Real Rick Salamone. I also inherited my brothers high elves when he stopped playing. There is about 1,500 points there.

Wow, Naitsabes! That is one epic game! Looks like it could have taken a couple of days to play!
What is that HUGE thing in the middle on the Chaos side? Also, I really like that Burning man in the middle as well. Looks like he's going, "Ah! I'm on fire! Help me put it out!" Lol!

I post here hoping my wife never gets a hold of this list, lest I be violently gelded - 8000 points of chaos, fully painted - 4000 points of painted ogres - 3000 points of painted dwarfs these others are in various states of assembly and paint, mainly because they were bought during the final days of 8th - 8000 points empire - 6000 points orcs and goblins - 4000 points tomb kings (with a few VC elements thrown in for legions) - 3000 points Dark Elves - 3000 points High Elves
