I, of course, play both 40k and fantasy, though my focus of late has been Fantasy. My 40k armies are:
16k Eldar, 99% assembled, 85% painted, though not better than table top
6k Tau, 99% assembled, 80% painted
7k Tyranids, all assembled, 95% painted (this is my main army of late)
7k Grey Knights, assembled, traded some stuff to a guy to paint them for me to make them tournament level
My wife (Quyrean) has:
6k Sisters of Battle, 99% assembled, 95% painted (I won Games Day with her army a couple years back)
15k+ Orks, less than 30% assembled, less than 20% painted (her favorite army)
We also share:
8k Necrons (all assembled, just need detail painting)
Fantasy Side, my wife has a 4k Orc army completely painted.
I have assembled (but not painted):
5k Wood Elves (Tree army, current painting project)
8k Brettonians
4k Mortal Chaos (Khorne)
I have painted:
4k Mortals of Slaanesh
9k Daemons of Chaos
9k Beasts of Chaos
6k Lizardmen (need detailing and basing still)
We also share a Zombie Pirate Armie we built together for fun one time.
While we certainly dumped a pile of cash on the hobby, most of it was bought up at fire sale like things where stuff was 25% cost or less, a lot at Jadeco in WI who buy bankruptcy stock from failed gaming stores and the like. A lot also came from tournament winnings, of course. If you guys are in SoCal, feel free to look me up. I play at the Battle Bunker in Westminster a lot and also help run the SoCal GW league (scgwl.com) which runs a couple Grand Tournaments each year.
Does anyone play Warhammer 40k?

Re: Does anyone play Warhammer 40k?
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .
Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
Dwight Eisenhower

Re: Does anyone play Warhammer 40k?
Some pics from the last 40k GT I was at:
Some of my Genestealers on my display board.
Me drunk and contemplating my next move.
My big bugs about to assert their position atop the Tyranid food chain.
Drunk general in action again, with some of my bugs in view.
My Tyrant Guard in a building with some guants.
Another shot of some of my stuff on its display board.
Hope all these links work ok.

Some Fantasy stuff from Quake City Rumble in San Fran last month:
The lake from my fantasy table display board.
My Daemon army from that tournament.
My pal Fred's sea themed Daemon army.
My pal Bill's Tomb King army on a display board my wife helped him make.

Nice looking armies, Jice. I really like the aqua themed Daemon Army. The colors are great.

Re: Does anyone play Warhammer 40k?
I'll post pictures of my Ulthwe` Eldar army soon.
I have 5ish squads + 2 HQ to paint! (one of those squads being harlequins which have proven to be about as enjoyable to paint as shoving razorblades in one's eyes).

Re: Does anyone play Warhammer 40k?
After much thought, I'm getting back into the hobby. I detailed out which models I already own for making a Blood Angels army, and I was kind of shocked to learn I have 75% of all troop types de-sprued and ready to be glued and painted, about 90% of all the special characters, 3 unassembled vehicles (rhino and landraider), 2 unpainted Dreds, and an unassembled landspeeder. I also have all of my Space Hulk termies. All I need to purchased is 1-2 boxes each of the new Death Company and Sanguinary Guard just to kit bash with my existing minis. So, for about 150$ I get to finish off an entire army I've had laying around for over a decade.
Here's a link to the reason I decided to get back into painting minis:

Not only does it work, it works fucking great. Holy shit. This line of painting products is a game changer.
