Hi!
That is a good plan Dafrca. Trade what you got for what you want. Painting is a valuable commodity (more so if you have the time to do it), so you could get money or minis for it.

Hi!
Welcome to "primarchlevel" Mojarn.
You and Dafrca are certainly striving to amass quite a large force!

Hi!
Mojarn, I quickly realized that when you amass primarchloads you really need help with the painting. Otherwise its a hopeless proposition to paint it all yourself.

I did a quick count of my Marines and Eldar.
The Eldar have 10,885 points. However, the move to EpicA has hurt me quite a bit. There are lots of "Extras" that can not be used in complete formations. My older formations do not translate well into the new EA list. 
I need to trade/get a few more items to complete some of the listed formations and I could be in the 14,000 range.
Marines, I am at 7,900 points. In this case, it is my smallest army. Now to be fair, I did not count the Titans or Aircraft again from my IG. However, I could shift some of them over if needed for a Marine game.
So with the IG (that with the last package have 38,775), Eldar, and Marines I am at a measly 55,760 EpicA points.
Now, I have not done the Orks yet. I need to reorganize them and then do the count. I expect them to pass up the Eldar for the second place slot.

Thats quite a bit, Dafrca.
So, you have a guess for the total ork count?
I'm guessing about 13k....
...we'll see how close I am...

Too be honest, I do not know, but I am curious to see now.

I have completed my count of the Orks...
First the bad news:
Total Points of 9,230
Ok, now for the good news:
One of the boxes I thought included Orks was some older Marines. I forgot I gave some of my Orks to a friend who was just starting out doing Orks.
The adjustment to EA hurt both the older Eldar armies and the whole Ork army. I had some of the older stuff that now just counts as "Battlewagons" or "Big Guns". 
Combined with the give away from a year ago, it drops the orcs to last place.
Also I am in major need of Grotz. Now I *have* to finish my rice grotz. Because of a lack of minis, I miss out on 18 free grot stands.
I took some pictures last night and will try and post them tonight.
So, this makes my final point counts :
IG: 38,775
Eldar: 10,085
Space Marine: 9,400
Orks: 9,230
Total Collection usable in EA: 67,490
Now there are a few things I did not count for various reasons. I did not count the Mega-Gargant (No EA point value) or the two Imperiators (same reason). I did not count the marines or Eldar that are still on sprues. I did not count the 3 Old School T-Hawks (flying Rhinos).
But anyway, there is my grand totals. ?
...for now... ?

After counting my marines I found out I have enough infantry to make two chapters. And then some. However, I only have enough Land Raiders and Rhinos for both of the said chapters, all other vehicles are not sufficient for even one Chapter (I only have 10 Predators, for example).
It's a LOT of stuff to paint, however... 
Maybe I should employ professionals like you.
