Well, off the top of my head, this is what I could muster...
4 Tactical Companies
2 Support Companies
1 Rough Rider Company
2 Detachments of Sentinels
2 Detachments of Bikes
1 Detachment of Ogryns
1 Detachment of Assault troopers
2 Detachments of Ratlings
Loads of command stands (pyschers/commissaers/etc) and ?other misc stuff (beastmen/etc)
1 Company of Stormblades
1 Company of Stormhammers
1 Company of Leman Russes
1 Artillery (Basilisk) Comapny
2 Shadowswords Superheavies
2 Hydra Batteries
1 Bombard Battery
1 Deathstrike Missile Battery
3 Marauder Bombers
3 Thunderbolt fighters
Tech-Support -
10 Knights
3 Warlord Titans
1 Imperator Titan
Probably one of the smaller Guard armies on the board, but all very dedicated to the Emperor

That's close to my IG Force size ... with a few modifications. I have a few more dets, here and there ... But that is a good size IG Army !

Hi!
I'd bet with a couple of more people we can get to one million points easy, epic players tend to collect lots of minis!

I admit that I was very late in seeing the appeal to IG. As such, I have a measly 2 companies, reinforced of Superheavies.
But on the original topic, I most miss Silver Towers. I don't know why. They weren't that good in any edition. There was just something that I could dig about floating castles shooting bolts of sorcerous enerty and spewing gouts of warp flame.
Considering how Tzeentch consistently gets the shaft as far as background, they were especially nifty.

Hi!
I know what you mean Neal, I got a bunch of silver towers, I enjoy playing a Tzeentch chaos only army just to field my beloved Silver tower and doomwings.
Ah, those were the days!

We have Silver Towers and plan on still using them. ?But I did think they were an odd concept. I guess, they are kind of like WW1 Zeppelins used a weapons platforms. ?That's basically how we use them plus they have a ?Warding Template (which we may or may not still use ?). ?Primarch, believe me, I have no fear of water or deep space. ? I have attended a number of Amphib training courses/operations, including with Neal's USMC. ?However, never any deep space training ! ? ? The closest I got was 1200 foot parachute jumps !

I have over 10K Imperial guard in the new system, look at my battlegroup Ares thingie for number (but it's now out of date as I have not stopped collecting)
as for the million points, after some off the whacky collections I have read off here, it would not surprise me....

I believe with all nine of my armies (SM, IG, Traitor, Chaos including Cultist, Ork, Eldar, Squat, 'Nids + Tau & Kroot), I don't come close. Maybe half way there depending on which rules you use ?
