This was all my Own Planning, Drawing out, and template I created.
This guy is mainly right now being used as a "do I want to buy one of these or not?" model.
Heck, If people Like him Enough, I'll even Upload the Template I drew out for this guy.
The template has Exactly 49 Pieces.

Thanks ..

THAT was NOT what I was expecting. I'm impressed, nice job!

It sure beats the cardboard cut out Ork Dread we got way back in what.... 2nd? A single piece of cardboard that was slotted into a small plastic base.

Haha, Thanks
So far thats a like?

errr.. I gotta say, he looks pretty flat in places

card stock - good for boxy, non organic shapes(tanks)
foam- good for organic shapes

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is so cool!
you MUST post the templates- then i could have a huge apoc game with my mates with an army of 'fexes just 4 a laugh!!!
post them! pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

For what you're doing with it... Excellent work.

Obviously, you aren't delusional, and you know you won't be entering any Golden Demons with it... LOL

But it'll make a spectacular proxy while you make your decision.

Yeahh but you've got to say its not that bad for Tyranid Out of Cardstock.

You could Print out Leman Russ, Predator, Dreadnought, eldar Vehicle, BUT A CARNIFEX??! You don't (if not ever) see one of those every day !

Yes indeed

It reminds of an old dinosaur skeleton kit I had that was made out of balsa wood. I thought it was great when I was 7.... Wonder if I can find it and green stuff it... hmmm.

OMG!!!!! we all need lots of card stock tanks!!!
hmmm.... i will give it a go and see if i can build a huge army of leman russes just 4 the hell of it.LOL

Usually a reason we don't see carnifexes (carnifici?) out of card is that...well...they are being made out of card...

The plastic model is so absultely amazing, I don't know why a card one is needed. Save up for a little bit and buy yourself a plastic kit, it'll look much, much better and you'll be able to actually use it in tourneys or GW

Hmmm that made me really think about it
I already have a few copies of him on copy paper so I could maybe perhaps scan it and whoever wants it can print him out on cardstock just he is very, very hard.It was mainly I thought people would laugh and say " That sucks" so i didin't really make the instructions (notes) clear so i might have to make a word doc.

So far this is looking good, thanks!

Yeah well this guy Im going to play some matches with my fiend with this "little" guy to see If I like how the Carnifex Play in terms of Games, then I'll see if I'll buy the 40-50 USD kit.

but Until then, he will Just...do what carnifex do.

Dudddde... bottbott......An army Of Carnifexi....sweeeettt.
Great idea but I really dont want to do THAT all over again... He took along time(and Patience) to make

cheers.

lol i wuz jokin

I wouldnt do that though...that would proboboly make my opponent be like aghhhhH!!! you cant use THAT MANY!! ONE WAS ENOUGH!!

All this talk about Carnifex makes me soo badly want to play him in a game right now :]

Say did anyone know Carnifex is Like latin for executioner? I found that out about 6 months ago when looking these guys up..

i had 6 in my 'nid army xD. and 2 hive tyrants...

NIDZILLA!

Nidzilla is an awesome army For tyranids, but actually, my fav 40k model ever is the Genestealer :O I had a Genestealer cult army, then I changed the Genes to tyranidd genestealers

genestealers are the scariest unit in the game.

I knoowwww but the whole space hulk thingy is soooo cool!! i believe on mydakka gallery i uploaded space hulk scenery...

very good

will gw let you use him???

Very nice work. Origami for the win!

jamunition wrote:very good

Hmm, I believe they will Let me Use him in friendly Matches.
As Of Tournaments, Ive got to say it would probobly be a No.

GW wouldn't let you use him at all.

They frown upon models that weren't made and sold to you by them...

In an RT store they'd likely be fine with it, but in a GW shop it would be a no-go, even the loose standards ones around here.

Actually, check this out found on goldenboltersociety.com:

Warhammer 40kwas known as Rogues Trader and Games Workshop actually encourage hobbyist to make their own models... PaperHammer was born

If the model is a vehicle then participants will be allowed to scratch build the vehicle. A scratch built vehicle will either be a heavily modified current model, or a model that is built from the ground up. The scratch built model must represent the vehicle with all options. Judges will be the ultimate authority if a scratch build will be usable. (

When 40k was in it's infancy, the 40K Rogue Trader rulebook had complete rules for vehicles, but absolutely NO models at all!

The rulebook actually stated to make your own out of toys, model kits, and whatever you could get your hands on if you wanted to have vehicles, tanks, and robots. You found what class of vehicle matched closest to the toy/model you wanted to use, then assigned weapons and stats.

GW's come a long way (or rather has become much more conservative) over the years. "Official" has become the byword of the day and heaven forbid if you've found something or made something that's cool and appropriate to the army you play but isn't made using the models they produce!

Hmmmm...

Well that was our GW history lesson today

@OP.

I like it.

You could make the flat bits less flat by crimping them.

There is a whole genre of cardstock models. Google for more info.

Apart from the cheapness, and fun of assembling them, they can be printed out ready coloured.

In all fairness they did a 'grab a plastic dinosaur' army list not too long ago. Something like Warhammer Chronicles 2006.

They still remain some semblance of occasional humanity. Some.
