OK, I was doing some organizing last night, and I realized something somewhat funny. My favorite army is the IG, but unless I miss counted, the Eldar are my largest point army.
So it made me wonder, is your "main" or favorite army your largest?
Do you even think in terms of favorite army?

Hi!
This is also my reality. My largest army is IG, perhaps 150k.
My soft spot is for chaos which is smaller. Although in fairness, it is the one I'm currently concentrating to get deals on (I'm done with IG, SM, Orks and Eldar).
I dont really have an overall strong favorite, although chaos is slightly ahead due to the nostalgia factor. Tau is threatening to be a REAL favorite since I have to test the new netepic list. No doubt doubt Necrons will be favored someday if they get theym done.

My favourite changes like the fickle favours of fate...
I find that my focus and interest changes quite frequently, usually to something I dont have so that I end up building up that force and play around with it until somehting new catches my fancy.

My favourites are the Adeptus Mechanicus types, so it's Titans and Oedinati all the way. But my largest army by far are my Orks. Good job they've got Gargants for large-size entertainment value!

Like Tas my focus seems to change every couple of months or so. A while ago I'd have said my IG. THen I worked on some Feral Orks and loved them and right now I'm concentrating on the Ultramarines to get the entire chapter done. I guess the improtant part is to allways work on the army which takes your fancy at the moment. This ensures that you are allways inspired and delivers your best preformance when painting/modelling etc.
Oh, and in a couple of weeks time I predict that the Grey Knights will be my favourite army...
Cheers!

IMHO the ever shifting focus from one army to another, eventually returning again to the start is a trademark of a whole hearted and unsavable epic nut!
I'm sure you'll find many here who do exactly that!

Hi,
I've always been a fan of Orks since SM2 and their cartoony nature, although my preference does change a lot depending on specific minis that are released. I've never really been a fan of Chaos or Eldar though... maybe this'll change soon. 
As for points, I have more points of Orks than anything else (about 8k), but they're not as complete as my Crimson Fists (about 6k).
Cheers,
Freshmetal

With me, it depends on how many models SG/GW/FW make!
I base my TO&Es on that! ?
Since I collect 9 Epic Armies:
1. SM,
2. IG,
3. Orks,
4. Eldar,
5. Chaos (incl. Cultists),
6. Traitor SMs (since our time line starts at the Heresy),
7. Squats,
8. 'Nids,
9. Tau & Kroot.
These last two armies are still "in the bags" so to speak.
But clearly the IG and Orks have the most stuff! At least in my War Room!  ?
Followed by SMs and Eldar...

My favorite army (IG) is also my largest. But Orks have quite a lot of manpower and the Squats are catching up fast.
Hey Primarch, if you are done with the armies you said, remember your old pal if you come across some good deals in the future...

Same with me, IG as favourite are largest, orks probably next, Eldar building (possibly with Swordwind release to become my favourite and largest)
Marine are split into two, Ultras and Blood Angels, combined they equal Eldar._________________ I'm involved in Nunnery Practice  My latest Blog http://www.players.tacticalwargames.net ... p?blogId=8

I love all of my armies, but right now I'm working the most on my:
- Crimson Fists SM army...
- Tyranid army...
Shalom,
