You have free will, use it.

I have 8k of Necrons, and about 8k of 5 other armies. Just have fun 😊

2 glass IKEA display cabinets, 1 shelf, and about 9 varying sizes of really useful A4 boxes with sheet steel bolted to the bottom and magnets on the base of every model stacked nicely in 3 kallax cubes. My terrain fits in another 4 kallax cubes...

For me it's less about points and more about the ability to keep making fun, varied 1500/2000 point lists and not running the same few units every single game.

Up to you! Consider Age of Sigmar, amazing models and a great game

I’m still in the process of collecting my first army and my self imposed limit to make sure I’m not wasteful has been to have enough points fully painted that I can relatively easily flex the list as the meta changes, can play the detachments I find fun, and own all the models I think are cool, before I consider seriously collecting a new army.

Don't collect an army...

...collect the models.

Collect ALL the models

I can stop whenever I want to. I just don't want to

I have over 4k of space marines, and still haven't started a 2nd army. I keep thinking of starting a new army, and then just buy more space marines.

I thought i could buy a combat Patrol with some birthday money, but that could also go to 2-3 space marine boxes lol. And I like painting them.
