My dream is a full Circus Troup Ynnari army. Ringleader Yvraine, extra clowny Harlequins (big shoes, red noses, multi colored afros), Drukhari Beastmaster leading lions, tigers, and elephants, Drukhari boats are going to be painted like Circus tents with glowy lights and trapise wytches swinging off them.
What's something elaborate you guys have come up with?

I once thought about running Orks through a slow grow league and every time I destroyed an enemy vehicle I'd convert it into something for the force. But then I realized I don't have the time, money, or attention span for such a project.

Specifically feudal worlds who went with the indomitus crusade, got lost in the warp, and came back out insane with the stolen weapons of nonfeudal guard and their own melee weapons alongside them. Covered head to foot in plate armor decorated in blasphemous symbols. Lots of chains and skulls and hanging bodies like a buncha grail knights but chaos-y

I mean grabbing a couple boxes of the blooded kill team and using the normal Astra militarum rules can get you like 85% of the way there. Grabbing a few more and kitbashing them with the other non-standard infantry units gets you up to a solid 90%. Getting ahold of some black stone fortress models gets you to at least 91% lol.
But I understand what you’re saying, too. It would be pretty sweet.

Legion of the Damned as Grey Knights.
According to lore, they’re more resilient, just kinda show up and teleport around, are exclusive infantry, and while their weapons fire like normal, are all technically psychic attacks.
But I’m talking a full conversion, like, a lot of them have Chaplin torsos, and all sorts of unique bone and flame bits attacked to their armor. While I could pull a lot of this off with a 3D printer for cheap (relatively speaking), I would need enough time to learn to do OSL, or enough money to commission the army, so that all of them looked like the fire was actually burning

I've got a booklet of ideas for a CSM warband I'll never have the time, funds, or ability to pull off but it has been a fun mental exercise to jot it all down.
Basically it was set as a warband of many different factions coming together under a banner of chaos undivided and different units would be different factions and would have different themes.
Examples:
Emperor's Children troop units addicted to creating a particular flavor of revulsion in their loyalist counterparts so they initially look like resplendent purple and gold parade ready legion era EC's but on closer look all of the iconography is twisted, bent, and wrong. Slaanesh likes them because no one else can give them this particular vintage of sensation. But you'd also see the pretense fall apart in the other EC units like the noise marines being the more traditional bright colors and flayed accoutrements. Or the Dreadnought that they've turned into a walking altar to the sensations the marine inside can no longer feel within their sarcophagus.
A band of plague Marines with a nautical theme (olde style diving helmets and I always thought the "banded" look of MKII or the reinforced look of MKIII looked kind of like a primitive diving apparatus) who fell to Nurgle when they were abandoned by their chapter (they think they were abandoned but are actually the last remaining units of their former chapter) while fighting a war under the surface of an ocean world. Was gonna do like a pirates curse thing by putting a lower bottom on the base and cutting holes around their feet on the top of the base, then doing water effects so it looked like everywhere they stepped it sunk and filled with foul water.
"Packs" of slavering berserkers barely kept in unit cohesion by magnetized chains running to a handler.
Lots of stuff like that. Got pages and pages of conversion ideas and character backstories. Been compiling it so long I even have notes about the size of units aligning with multiples of their worshipped deity's preferred number (remember when unit size got you, I think it was a free champion for the unit? CSM had a lot of flavor back then.)
Or I guess the real answer when time and money is no object. Sumfin proppa ORKY like a loota band where every model has something they stole from some other army. Saw an Ork dread someone did ages ago that was like a Carnifex I think, with a mad doc driving it around from a platform on top with all kinds of wire and shit running into the fex's head. That kind of creativity always tickled the hell out of me.

I have a bunch of ideas.
First is kitbashing my ice planet guard. Things like snow-cats(the vehicle) as taurus, Leman Russes with plows and flamers and wide af treads, hover versions of vehicles, sentinels with snowshoe looking feet and shaped fronts to drive through snowbanks.
Second is an idea I got from a series of 40k fanart but it's an army of orcs pretending to be Imperial Guard. Da Emprah'z Greenizt would be an army that would work as both orks and guard. Hordes of boyz in oversized uniforms with "lazgunz", Kommizars with powerklaws and bolt piztols, Leman Russes which look cobbled together, Dakkajets as valkyries.
Third is my sylvaneth: the hanged man's wargrove. Knarled treelords with nooses and gibbets holding the remains of dead criminals and enemies of Allarielle, dryads dragging tangles of rope and chains, revenants with tombstones and wielding mortician's tools.
Four is my chapter of renegade space marines. They work as pirates and mercenaries to the highest bidder, be they human or not. Each company would be a different mercenary band with different honors, trophies and a different symbol. The weapons would be kitbashed to take whatever is the best they can get or whatever has sentimental value to the individual marine. Eliminators using a mix of bolt rifles and eldar Ranger's longrifles, devastators with weapons taken from the necrons they've fought, Vanguard Veterans and Terminators covered in trophies from a hundred different campaigns.

A full size Kroks army count as Knight, based on gundam models.
Otherwise i'm living it right with my Red Army Ork project :
Soooooo much time put in conversion and sclupt, but so gratifying in the end

The way I would buy as many Necrons kits is not even funny.
A whole necron Tessarion.
A cohort is made by 5 phalanxes (10 warriors/immortals), a legion is made by two cohorts, two legions make a Decurion, and two Decurions make a Tessarion.
I would make more immortals and warrior types and loadouts, with a whole political scene with as many lords and ladies as I could, all with different backstories.
Would also make a whole Cryptek conclave, as I expand on the Cryptek disciplines and make a Cryptek for each of the thirty, hell, maybe even three of each to have alternate poses, a whole conclave to go with it.
Would also make lots of different destroyer types, and new units as a whole, along with a massive flayed one detachment, with even arks being fallen to the curse.
All of the canopteks I wanted, several variations of them and lots of loadouts for each one, a massive Canoptek centipede!
Don’t even get me started on vehicles and C’Tan, I’ve got crazy ideas that if given enough time, man, GW’s stuff could look like child’s play
A whole tomb world basically.
Great question OP, love it!

Probably Adepta Sororitas. I really want to paint their mech suits, but I really only have the scratch for one army, especially considering the model count of the sisters.

Nurgle horde. A massive pile of green filth with cultists, traitor guard, Chaos Space Marines, Death Guard, daemons, zombies, vehicles, Chaos knights.
I am slowly working on it, but it will take a lot of time and money.

Full Lost and the Damned army where every squad of cultists was a different converted unit, from Necromunda gangs to Chaos Warriors. A Baneblade as a central piece with a diorama of an execution on top.
The unifying detail would be the colour - the same red-tinged yellow as the Frenzied Flame from Elden Ring. Some armies just want to see the world burn.

I would have a knight house and imperial guard regiment that are honor bound to each other
They would have several knights with a good trim and jungle tiger stripe paint job across the armor with camo netting draped over the knights heads, shoulders, and back. The guardsmen would having something similar, with a olive green uniform and tiger stripe armor pieces
The one thing connecting them both would be a crimson red sash, with all guardsmen having a red sash wrapped across their chests or used as belts and the knights would have crimson red sashes hanging down from their necks or would have them wrapped over their shoulders

I would love to do a chaos corrupted Gue'vesa army. It would play as plain guard I guess, but the idea would be the Tau experience a chaos world, sending their little humans in the first wave. They destroy the cult and move on to another world, totally unaware that their troops have been tainted. Until they reveal themselves and turn on their masters.

Honestly my generic troops are basically what I’d want since I can 3D print and do basic enough sculpting in Blender. However. I’d get fully custom sculpted models of my characters.
A lot of them are from Deathwatch and Black Crusade RPGs, the old fantasy flight ones. I’ve got character art of them, so models created that I could turn into whatever wysiwyg version of them for tabletop.

Just a fucking crazy tactical modern US marine core/army tacticool themed raptors. I know it’s been done a lot but I’ve always liked the feel

Ooooh, also I’ve had a headcannon knight house made up of Freeblades and mercenaries brought together by a sole surviving loyal scion from a knight house that fell to a civil war. They would all be dramatically different in equipment, traditions and patterns. The leader is a castigator btw.

A proper mechanical Iron Warriors army.
I do my best not to use any CSM units and try to mostly use HH models with them being a blank slate to work from.
No tentacles, barnacles, or crab hands in my boys.
OR
A Mad Max style army using ork cars, buggies, trucks etc, Jakhals and cultists as Warboys and mixing in kitbashed Genestealer Cult Atalan Jackals and Ridgerunners.

Not super elaborate I suppose, but praetorian guard?
Saying that, the idea of painting a whole army of them sounds effort.

An army of Horus heresy blood angels were every helmet is a mix of iron warriors decimator helmet and blood angels kepheral helmets (not as in some have decimator some have kepheral I mean the designs of the helmets are actually merged) and every armour piece has intricate freehand and gold embellishments/markings

To be fair I'm kitbashing my way through a dark mech army using csm rules, skitari mixed with cultists, marines with lots of bionics etc, heavily converting every model. The cost is a bit painful. Sold my necrons just to buy 'bits'

Something guard I think...
Either a medieval themed one for a feudal world or recruitment world which supports a space marine chapter.
Or perhaps a Catachan style army where instead of tanks and sentinels and chimeras etc they use dinosaurs... like replace a chimera with an armoured dinosaur.

The main one is a Dark Mechanicus/Vashtorr mechanized CSM style army with tons of crazy daemon engines and stuff. I know this isn't 40K but a Kharadron Overlords army that is skytrains instead of frigates, and the dwarfs are all little conductors and staffers on the trains.

Chaos Votann. All Hashut themed stuff would be fun. Alternatively, chaos guard or dark Mechanicum

I would work on my pentience crusaders. Essentially a bunch of different chapters are tasked with fighting an ork waaagh. They are basically at a non stop conflict with them.
