So, I was just going to put a "+1" because, as the founding member of Team [NSFW], I felt it deserved a "+1". Odd thing is, now you can't just put a "+1" because they will consider it spam...
Yes, really...
I'm not joking...
Try it then.
See... I told you.

I think I did you proud, guys.
Took third, which means i broke even, but I think I had the most fun. Round one I ended up tabling the guy, who lost morale after I came in with everything and wiped out his terminators/ traitor in the luckiest round of dice rolling ever. Harpy wrecked the landraider, then 2 spores of devgants chewed up the terminators and the traitor, all of this at the bottom of turn 2. 7 killpoints with no losses down, he really stopped trying to play effectively.
Over the handshake, he mumbles "I don't like balls..."
I lost my composure completely and shook with laughter.

Progress on what will hopefully turn into a swarmlord, and I found some awesome paint that I'm going to mix into pretty much all of my carapace painting from now on.

Here's a tip for cheap bone swords. Rotisserie chickens, the kind you get pre-cooked at supermarkets? They have these two bones that are the perfect size and shape for large boneswords, like the ones you need for that guy. I think they're the shoulder or wing bones... Anyways, eat the delicious delicious chicken, then dig around in the carcass for the bones, and either boil them, or soak 'em in dish detergent for a few weeks to get the gunk out- voila! Insta-bonesword for the cost of some detergent and a meal.

If you want. Personally, I feel better about the 'soak in detergent' method, but it's a bit long.
I've actually boiled an entire chicken skeleton and used the bones for various things, though- they're soft and pliable while they're still wet, but after they dry out (about a day or two- bones are kinda spongey) they're nice and hard, even if they can snap.
The nice thing about that, though, is that since you're using real bones for your boneswords, the break actually looks like it ought, and you could just pass it off as battle damage.

Interesting. I'll check it out, though I think I'm going to go full on Texas mode and throw the bones into a fire ant mound with some fishing line attached. Those ants will pick the bones totally clean in a few hours.
But I'll probably just use my own. I'm pretty good at scratchbuilding stuff.
Check it out! I'm casting warriors in chocolate. I can't show you how, but they're pretty good casts in every sense of the double entendre.

I'm making a Doom of Malantai, and so I need a cool way of representing souls being taken from bodies.
I'm going to do a set of three figures that show various stages of a soul rising out of a corpse, and center the Doom in all of this, feasting on them. I want the ghosts to be all green glow like in LOTR, and sitting up out of the bodies like so:
Modeling this is hard though. I'm gonna need some advanced techniques.
Nah, screw it, I'll just slap something together and it will be semi-magical because it will glow in the dark/ under uv light.

Need to have the head of the actual body smashed in. Otherwise the hand holding the head makes no real sense, but so far the concept is coming along nicely.
What about gluing two models front to back and then peeling them apart underwater? Get some nice soul ripping action!
They're in there with their bear.
Proper grammar. Learn it, live it, love it.

To quote the common misconception, but is actually true in this specific instance, "Size doesn't matter".
It will work on a smaller speaker, just... well, on a smaller scale. What matters is speaker power, which I assure you my thing has.
The specific reason it WONT work on mine anymore is because I have angled the speaker 45 degrees. I scrapped that idea and didn't tell anyone about it, just posted pics where it was clear that it would in no way work like intended. This change came about from the realization that the GW manager would slap the gak out of me, and rightly so, for getting the drippings on his tables.
See below for how cool but messy this stuff is.
Maybe I will use the other speakers to do this if I can figure out a better containment system.
Got an idea for avoiding that the Ooze will drip on the table,and it will make some cool Objective marker!
It will represent a Gestating(growing) Nid Tyrant in stasis.
Only issue I can see with the above is that it would need taking part and cleaning after every use, as cornstarch in water is a pretty good medium for growing bacteria. If that were a sealed unit, it would pop and stink...
Find an appropriately sized glass / plastic jar with a screw on top, cut out the bulk of the lid leaving the threading and attach the threading to speaker (maybe spray latex / paint over the speaker to prevent it seeping?) then you have a screw-on cover for it.
