Even though I listbuild and dictate my purchases around what I want for my army lists, I've never played a single physical game of 40k in the two years or so I've been building and painting.
I have over 2k points of Guard, with World Eaters and Imperial Knights close approaching. I also got a bunch of various Kill Teams and thanks to subbing to the Combat Patrol magazine and a few other purchases I now have close to 1k points in Marines. Part of the reason why I bought into the Combat Patrol magazine was to have an easy on-board for getting people in my friend group to play, but only like two people have voiced mild interest on learning how to play. Despite having so many minis I've only ever done one game via Tabletop Simulator, and it was a 500 point match between Guard and a friend playing Custodes (I got rolled pretty hard because I forgot my army rule was a thing).
I don't take this as a total wash however, I really enjoy the modeling aspect of the hobby and enjoy painting/kitbashing minis so it all works out in the end.
