what qualifies it as army building, meaning how many figures of each one till your doing so. i thought i had some good stuff going then i looked at the collection pictures of other tankers and OMG these guys have got it made. im running out of space and i dont have an eighth of what these guys have.

I think you have to strategically pick and choose your builder...especially if you have limited storage. Vipers (any, but mainly Desert for me) and Snow Serpents are fun to build.
Teams of 4 might be good if your limited. Last edited by WeEatOurDead; 08-28-2010 at 12:02 AM.. |

I will only do 5 of most troops. 4 grunts and 1 leader. Ones I really like I go to about 10. CG's though I think I'm up to about 15. I try not to go overboard unless I find a good deal.
With that said, there is no cap on ninjas. |

I usually get 5 of each and assemble them into "stars"
However, Sometimes I'll only do two or so (Cobra Divers, Jungle Vipers, etc...) |

I have nearly 70 bats, around 80 blue shirts, and 50ish CG
Those were the only ones i felt worthy of building. Wait, I have a dozen or so red and black ninjas...then there are the 20+ snow serpents. I forgot about the handful of TeleVipers...and the 7 regular vipers. I did end up buying a lot of Ice vipers. And pit commandos...I have 10 or so. We are excluding Duke, SE,SS and CC right? Don't start army building. It never goes away. I only want'ed 2 Alley vipers, but somehow I have 3 and I will probably another if i see it....

for me it's the difference between "a few" and "several"
my "standards of measurement" the singular "one" (1) and then "a couple" (2) following would be "a few" (3-6) "several" (7-9) "some" (10-14) "many" (15+) my WIFES "standard of measurement" "one" (1) "too many" (2+) so if you have more than "a few" you've started an army ;) but lets be honest while army building can get out of hand...you can't actually have "too many" no matter what the wife says :P |
