I recently finished painting my Cygnar - so I decided to unpack it all and take a couple group pictures! Raiding all the different cabinets and bags took me well over an hour - but seeing it all sprawled out on the table was worth it 
I'm especially happy that, despite amassing the collection over a couple years, they look very consistent, despite changing up a couple things.
I'm getting close to owning the whole faction; I've got all casters, but I'm missing the Blockhouse, both flavors of Long Gunners, Stormguard and Precursors. Not particularly eager to pick those up. A couple more minis, like Stormsmith Grenadiers and Brickhouse are in the mail.
Here's the group photo:
A couple casters. I haven't even played them all yet, that's still on the to do list. My most-played caster is Caine2.
Trenchers gonna Trench. I used to play Kraye2's theme back in MK2, that's what I needed the two units of rangers for. Kraye rocks.
The stormwall took me a month to paint back in the day. I bought the Trencher CA just to put the sniper on the base. This was back in MK2, when the Trenchers where rubbish - the blister came with a thick dust covering and black-and-white MK1 cards
By comparison, I got the Hurricane on a Friday and assembled and painted it until Sunday. It was cool to challenge me to get the model done fast, and to see how much faster I've gotten over the years.
Storm Division. The second unit of Stormblades was painted up for a Siege2 list. I played it 3 or 4 times. Conclusion: better on paper. Waaay better

I should do the same with my Legion one of these days, the collection is almost as big and with a consistent scheme.
