Once upon a time...in a faraway land...was an old, rich hermit who would buy hundreds and hundreds of lego sets every week from the Lego company just so he could build them over and over and over. He amassed an estimated 38,000 minifigs over the span of a couple decades. He decided that when he died, he would distribute his vast collection to people all over the entire world! So he spent the rest of the fortune sending out package after package. But unfortunately, they all got lost in the mail...at least mine did anyway. :P (this is what happens when I'm exhausted...)

God bless.

Personal collection? I dunno... but I do aim to have one of the largest personal collections of Minifig Armies.

Im sure LEGO itself has more minifigs than I could dream of and then some.

I haven't counted other armies, but I have a 22 man siege force for Orcs, 2 siege towers, 21 Orcs (Trolls), and a Single tan Troll, who is the Leader, while the 2 armored people are officers. You know, with the special Orc Armor? Yeah, them.

Caught this thread while showing my friend what army building was all about. :wink:


My Black Falcons, over 1,000 strong into organized regiments.

Being quite impressed with the Back Falcon army I thought I would post a link to my Dragon Master's army gallery.

Enjoy,

I have a few smaller armies...

54 Crown Knights
-16 spearmen
-16 swordmen
-16 archers
-6 mounted

65 Royal Knights
-16 spearmen
-18 swordsmen
-4 axemen
-16 crossbowmen
-6 mounted

17 peasants/forestmen

28 skellies (18 mounted)

7 orcs (trolls), 1 giant troll

5 dwarves

50 "evil" men (combo of scorpions, bulls, dragonmasters, etc)

I also have on giant dragon (brick built, creator set)

I figure anything over 60 is too much... I haven't been able to make a reasonable MOC using over 60 or so...

Thanks for all the comments and praise. :D

Ah the army is the MOC in itself! But here's something a little smaller with a lot more character. :wink:

Wow that Dragon Knights army is huge.

The peasant army is cool. You have a lot of pitchforks. I only have one :cry:.

Orcses, gobs and gobs of Orcses. :) I have over 120 Orcs, I didn't plan to have so many but the new Castle line has taken control of my finances. :shock: I have this vision of the Orcs attacking Helm's Deep but with LEGO Orcs. I think if I had more money to spend on LEGO during either the Yellow Castle or Kings Castle ('80s version Lions) I would have more of them, which would have been very cool. But now I am running out of room to store LEGO... 8)

Dano,

Nice Armies. Is that Blue group under bad guys a custom faction? They seem to have a winged serpent on them?

Some nice armies on here. The peasant army is great ... I wish I had that many pitchforks as well.
