Good Afternoon! I wanted to get this down so I basically commit myself to it. As the title and description says. 7 armies in one year. Easy....

My first task will be of course picking the 7 armies I want to do. Over the past couple of days, I have created a 1000 point army for every faction in AoS so far. You can find the link to this below,

1000pt Army Lists for every faction

I then went onto looking back through them and creating a shortlist, this took the list down to 17 armies which are as follows.

  • Daemons of Khorne
  • DeathLords
  • Deathrattle
  • Khorne Bloodbound
  • Nurgle Rotbringers
  • Beastclaw Raiders
  • Devoted of Sigmar
  • Eldritch Council
  • Fyreslayers
  • Greenskinz
  • Gutbusters
  • Order Draconis
  • Phoenix Temple
  • Shadowblades
  • Spiderfang Grots
  • Stormcast Eternals
  • Sylvaneth

From this list, I looked at what models I already own in some way or another. So this then put the following at the top of the shortlist

  • Deathlords
  • Khorne Bloodbound
  • Stormcast
  • Fyreslayers
  • Sylvaneth

I already have a Stormcast Army, so ill discount that one, I have as well already painted everything in the DeathLords list apart from Archai so for new project sake, ill remove that. A done a poll on Twitter for the public to pick my first project and Phoenix Temple came out on top, so ill add that one in which puts me on 4.

So 3 more... I think another Chaos and 2 Destruction armies would be nice. I like the look of Gutbusters and Spiderfang, I also like the look of Nurgle Rotbringers. With that in mind. My list is, but not in any kind of order. (And of course subject to new releases that tickle my monkey.)

  • Phoenix Temple
  • Khorne Bloodbound
  • Fyreslayers
  • Sylvaneth
  • Gutbusters
  • Spiderfang
  • Nurgle Rotbringers

Wish me luck!

Love the idea of this project and that your initial shortlist was 17 armies, I started something similar when sigmar first came out choosing about 5 war scrolls for each faction (they weren't all fleshed out at that point). I managed to do a storm cast, bloodhound, sylvaneth, dark elf, ogre/black orcs, night goblin/moonclan, wanderers painted up to this point (each one between 500-1200 points).  Now feeling a bit nurgley (daemons, rot bringers, clan pestilence). I voted for the phoenix temple on Twitter, going to be really interesting following your progress.

That is an achievement! Awesome. 17 armies was cut down shortlist too. Was looking at soooo many options. Hence I wrote 1000point list for everything to see if that helped me. It just made me wanna do more!

Didn't see that. I'm expecting some cool stuff. GW has been dropping a load of goodies on us the past year, so there's no way to predict the next. Might follow you with a 4 army challenge. Skaven, Fyreslayers and then something else.

Good luck. I have had a similar idea and will be working through my older models as well. Ive started with the Rotbringers as my first force and I am also working on some Hammerers as the start of a Dispossesd force. I shall be following this challenge with interest
