Lads, I'm being spread too thin. JT isn't the only thing I collect, and IRL expenses are ramping up, so I'm enforcing reductions and a more focused way of collecting across the board. With HH Primarchs incoming, I need to stick to fewer Chapters. I was thinking Three Loyalists + Three Chaos and then a random assortment of Sororitas, Custodes, etc. If you could only stick with 3, or 6, Chapters entirely, which would you go with?
I'm torn myself because some Chapters I like the look of, but find the lore/background so-so, others it's the reverse, and others I like the Primarch himself, but don't much care for the designs. I like Fulgrim and the EE Pre-Heresy as a character and concept/lore, but find the purple too busy and hate their Chaos designs. I like Perty and the Iron Warriors as lore/characters, but don't much care for their designs. I like the Word Bearers as basically the Satanists of the setting, but the Black Legion is the same thing in black, more or less. I also find Horus somewhat boring, and Lorgar so-so, but Horus is THE Traitor Primarch. I was thinking of going Loyalists only, but I've already bought the Corsair wave, the Word Bearer Termie, and I love the Thousand Sons (but even though I like Magnus as a character, I find his design underwhelming). And Black Legion were my first minis waaaay back in the day, so just for nostalgia I want some. Which inevitably means a Horus and Abaddon at the least.
ATM I have a sizeable Ultramarine regiment (plus Guilliman on PO), some Blood Angels, a few of the random Grey Knights, Black Templars, Sororitas, etc I mentioned before, and the entire Custodes wave as I love their look so I'm trying to get them all. I was thinking of going with Lion/DA for the other Loyalist Chapter but I'm lost on Chaos.
I'd like to hear your cases for your collecting habits to maybe try and make sense of mine. If anything it'd spark some conversation, right?
