FIRE BREATHING????????
Gaunt orgies, guardsmen rape, broodlord penises, giant babycannons, multiple breasts, beating small children and soon flamethrowers-doomthumbs, you are a GOD.
llol, im really amused by all your ppls commitment to this thread. i particullarly like "I ride for doomthumbs".
honestly, i think we are beginning to get a cult following on our hands. "ALL HAIL DOOMTHUMBS! NOW BRING FORTH THE BLOOD SACRIFICE!!!" *grabs a noob hobbyist*

I'm guessing the child was the prize they were gaming over. By now I'm sure the kid is conversion fodder. He will be missed, but his sacrifice was not in vain. Can't wait for the tervigons carpeted in real human skin.

I prefer to think the child has been taken on as a sort of dark apprentice, raised on NSFW conversions and proper use of the english language.
Oh son of a bitch... That's now the most requested conversion. Now I've got to go hunt him down and harvest his biomass for conversion stock. Also regular stock. I mean, if I'm going to fully utilize everything I'll have to boil down the tougher parts into a soup base.
Though the dark apprentice idea might also work.
This will take a while, since I again have no idea who he is and really only saw him out of the demo area of the store when I reviewed pictures. I may have to call on ancestral buffalo spirits of an ancient American Indian burial ground. Luckily the entire continental US counts as one of those.

So is it officially American Indians now? I was out of the country for a while and remember Native Americans, and Indians being politically incorrect. Now the Indian misconception has been accepted and embraced?

Actually, last I heard it was First Americans, but since DT's thread is all about carpet bombing polite sensibilities, I can understand why he chose that turn of phrase.
DT: The mob is clamoring once again. We demand more conversions!

I'm pretty sure they're all made in the UK. Do you have a source for your assumption?
Ok, I'm back from another weekend hiatus. Today's modeling project involves some advanced techniques such as electronics, soldering, and removing proprietary tech from its hermetic sealing inside a sealed plastic figure.
Pic below is of a Headphonie, a portable speaker that I got at Best Buy for ten bucks. Its loud, has a long battery life, extremely portable, links in parallel with others of its kind, and the jack is in its ass. I'm not sure if they made this for my Tyranids specifically, but it sure seems that way.
I'm going to be cutting the speaker out of the toy, and rehousing it in one of my 60mm bases so that I can have a boombox fex. I'm playing with the idea of putting it inside a trygon so that I can parody Tremors 2. Most likely not, but I've got a lot of work to do. Cutting the speaker out of the sealed plastic was not an easy or fun job (I washed a whole ripper in the blood of the cut I got) and since they buried two of the speaker wires under melted plastic, I've got to strip down some copper wire from a cellphone charger and resolder it. I might even be able to tech you guys something about how to do this!
I knew that taking those electronics courses were good electives on my path to a Mechanical Engineering degree. Hooray for real world applications.
Not that I particularly CARE about being politically correct, but I don't really think Indians/American Indians/Native Americans/ First Americans/First People really give a buffalo chip about what their genociders call them. I'm sure that they would prefer to be called by the name of their tribe, as they were distinct separate groups of people, and any catchall term we use would be offensive. A person from Spain and a person from the Ukraine are both technically Europeans, but maybe that isn't the best way to categorize them to express who they are as a people.
http://www.allthingscherokee.com/articles_culture_events_070101.html " Many Indians continue to call themselves Indian or American Indian regardless of what the rest of America and the world calls them."
Oh. Theres an article, written by an Indian, that I found whilst fact checking to make myself look smarter. Seems they don't care what we call them.
Besides, get real. Like any of that nonsense matters even one iota. Do I make a fuss about wanting to be called "Caucasian American?".
I'm a person. You're a person. The most hated cultural enemy of your particular branch of human existence is a person.
Slicing that any thinner denigrates all of us, as people. No more talk of being PC, it bores me. Mac, either, for that matter.
Ok, so I've run into some complications with the electronics aspect, because I want to put a film over the speaker cone so I can put some cornstarch, water, and green dye in there to make a non neutonian fluid that wiggles and is nasty. Going to be a little longer while I work out some kinks in that area, transferring the extra kink into the Ymgarls.
In the meantime, I think this is the pose I'm going to use for the Boomboxfex. Two classic beatboy poses in one!
The ipod sits really nicely in a groove where the carapace meets the head and leans back against the talons.
I'm going to GS some headphones on him as well, but so far so good.
Also, some more themed music. In this case, a Boombox IS a toy!
good luck on the speaker job man... Love this thread always makes me giggle at work.. Which is awequard because then the nurses want to know what I'm giggling about and I fear they may just send me to the acute ward for sectioning under the mental health act one day.
Well, thanks to you and Doomthumbs here, I now know what I'm doing with my landraider when i finally get it, to go with the Night Lords doors i got from FW. Won't that be fun, trundling up the board blasting Nightmare or somesuch appropriate Night Lords music.
Speaking of which, what is your Boombox Fex going to be blasting, Doom?
ZephyrRey wrote:Speaking of which, what is your Boombox Fex going to be blasting, Doom?
This, among others. Just about perfect. Nice booming bass, and phrases like "Serve the hive" and "I control the way you move".
Also, the "We've got a lot of static" is all funky in that recording, and could very well be saying "Send down a mycetic"
Pic update of the stage I'm building for the Boomfex. Yeah, thats right. Boomfex. I'm taking it back!
If I may make a suggestion Doomykins, what I intend to do with my LandRaider (which will be receiving this same treatment) is making a playlist on my ipod specifically for this purpose. Fill it with some appropriately fluffy music or somesuch, but the 7th or 8th song on the playlist will be something truly terrifying to anyone at my LGS, like, Justin Beiber, or Rebecca Black's Friday.
Just imagine it Doom, on your carnifex. after 40 or so minutes into the game and they say 'Okay man, your carnifex is cool and all but could you turn it off alr- wait, what's it playing now? DEAR GOD, SHUT IT OFF, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS-'
And then you can look at them, and say, 'kill it and it will stop.' AKA Stop shooting at my goatsegon, or the tentaclerape venomthrope, and instead take shots at this otherwise not so high priority carnifex
I believe that target priority based on vulgarity was one of your ideas stated earlier in the thread, and I fully intend to do this with my LR to take potshots off something I don't like, and they turn all of their Heavy Weapons to turn off the infernal racket coming from my nigh impossible to kill LandRaider
I don't see why this wouldn't work with a Boomfex...
Yes, but then I would have to download songs like that, dirtying my computer and giving them yet another hit on their subpar music.
I like the idea though, but I'm going to take it in the direction that the Radio Free Zerg song goes in.
More of a "Yeah, I'm here and promoting my army and theres nothing you can do about it at all."
If I can suggest something for your landraider? Make it slightly chaosy, like a slaanesh noiseraider.
I'm also working on taking record your own greeting cards and using those under my MC bases. They have a light trigger, and are about as flat as I could ask for. With the light sensor, it will sound off every time the base is picked up off of the table. With these I'm going to go for more of a Jurassic Park T-Rex roar.
Ok, the scratchbuild speakerbox/ stage for the boomboxfex is pretty much done.
I've used greenstuff tentacles to cover up most of my shoddy workmanship.
Why tentacles? Because its my favorite flavor of soda.
Please don't attach non-wargaming pics to Dakka. Link those instead.-Mannahnin
How irresponsible of me not to post one where he's holding the boombox.
I'm going to be redoing a lot of the electronic components of this build because I want to add bluetooth connectivity.
Long story short, I paid about $5 for this old carnifex on ebay, and I'm going to put about $350 worth of tech into this model.
Mmm, thats some good consumer whorin'!

Actually, Yes! It happens because the cornstarch/water mix becomes more like a solid when vibrations rock through 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.
@Matrim I could, and am most likely going to.
I've got a few other speakers I no longer like, and may just submerge them under a terrain feature lake of this goo.
Though it wouldn't be all that hard to put a sloped spillway for it to run down and collect into a pool of tyranid goo, so it could serve dual purpose... That will maybe come once I move on to doing the terrain section in a few months.
Thanks for the feedback, its nice knowing someone wants tyranid tentacles to rise up out of the muck as much as I do.
Edited out personal argument. Please keep it polite and friendly in the thread, folks.-Mannahnin
To be honest doomthumbs, that was a joke. -Edited for sarcasm. -The Mgmt.
see, its harmless really, and doesnt mean anything!!!
no, i was not insulting your fanbase doomthumbs, i was supporting them, and simply stating my amusment about how thread arguments can become so involved. personally, i believe i am part of that fanbase, as i read this thread avidly, and check it everytime i come on dakka. I'll even add the "i ride for doomthumbs" onto my thread, if you really need me to. I'm sure that no one else on this thread took offense from my comment, and i hope they can all forgive me. ;( so i dont see any reason why i would flame your work, just because you have had unpleasent comments in the past, doesnt mean i would carry on that trend, I am not stupid enough to do so, seeing as the moderators have given wwarnings. no, i was not trying to insult you, and i am sorry i have caused offense.
oh, and the thing about the slaanesh thread. no i was not saying it was better. if again, YOU READ IT PROPERLY, i was actually defending you from the mob, hence, i was part of the "fanbase". i was simply stating "you guys houldnt be flaming this thread, why not flame this thread instead?"
i was hoping for the response
"because that threads art" so that i could retaliate
"no, both these threads are art, it just depends how you percieve the term art"
it didnt work, but ah well thats that.
now, i will say again, that i am deeply sorry for offending you, even if it was by accident, and i will try to be clearer that what i am posting is, in fact, a joke. now why dont you be the bigger person here and admit also that you made a mistake, and we are both at fault?
As a great disney character once said "if you can't say nuffin nice don't say nuffin at all" or words to that effect. Guys what I'm saying is this is about the hilariously un-politicaly correct little alien thingies could we leave the personal attacks/mocking/flamming and such out of it I want more model pics please?
exactly, MORE PICS!!!!!
On a more friendly note than my last post, pity you couldnt do the fire throwing pyrovore, i would have liked to have seen it. just as a question, coz it wasnt clear, does it actually flame? and by flame, a flaming gun barrel, or actual jets of flame?
oh, and doomy (can i call you doomy???lol, sorry, another joke) any chance you can check out my latest work (now in my sig) and tell me what you actually think of this one?

This.... Is.... Epic....
All I can say.
This speaker is the most creative yet funniest thing I have seen in a while.

How about having pits of that goo.....with the hanging guardsman(men/skeletons?) in cages above it?
No, I think Black Ram has something more kinky than that.
Something that makes Disturbed look like droopy eyed little children. See, they play that song on the radio.
If you hear it, you think "Man, I love that tune!" Because it is a great tune.
What ABR is suggesting is something that will never be broadcast over a Clearchannel radio station. Its something that when you hear it, you cry to your mother to save you from the bad men.
That said, Im not sure the army needs any more augmentation of the weird. Needs more speakers hidden in lakes of Goo. Sadly, I don't need music for this. I need hardcore vibration frequencies, no really music by any standard except hippy scientist standards.
So after a trip to Radioshack I return home triumphant with a fairly powerful portable speaker.
Since I needed "More power", in electronics, this means "More wattage".
So I says to the nice gentleman "Sell me a set of speakers with the best ratio of Watts to Dollars spent".
And its like a chicken looking at a card trick.
Sighing, I do it myself, and come up with the speakers pictured below. They're pretty nice, and the price was right. (I wont say, thats garish and tacky)
Now, I go to destroy them for fun, and I see they need a Torx head screwdriver. YES! This is going to be fun. To the specialty tools box!
I get all 8 of the screws out, even the two hidden ones. Thing won't open. Hmmmmm.....
Turns out, I have to physically break the damn thing to discover... the industrial glue holding the two halves together.
Wtf? Why use fancy screwdriver bits? Did they think I didn't have a Torx head? Was it a bet against me just randomly taking it apart?
I was gonna post the guts of my new terrain piece! Gonna have to be tommorrow, Matrim et al. Tonight I owe Lady Doom a nice dinner.

Yeah...I've had that problem a couple of times. I don't know what the logic behind that is, but I always assumed it was a 'design by committee' flaw. Nice job on the electronics, by the way. And that non-neutonian business just begs to be used for some kind of spawning pool-terrain piece. I like the choice of music for the fig, by the way. Very Tyranid-y.
Im not sure that's safe for anywhere.
I actually liked the beat and was mentally substituting "skinheads" for "guardsmen" by the end of the first hook.
I won't lie and say I watched the video but I the audio was pretty good.
The BLOOD that has been spilt from trying to open these speakers, sealed by warlocks sequestered in the depths of some twisted JBL speaker hellhole.
I tryed prying it open with successively larger, then multiple screwdrivers. Damn thing bit me!
So now we go the Jack Nicholson route.
Please don't attach non-wargaming images to Dakka.-Mannahnin
Boombox fex completed minus some detail painting like the teeth, retouching the parts where I slopped wash everywhere like a careless douche.
I also need to fix a lot of other painting problems, but its at least 3 colors, what I like to call "Lazy man's TTQ".
I also added some turtles going about their turtley business (of getting it on).
Updates to the pool of vibrating goo concept as well. I'm mounting the speaker in the lid of a 10 pack of DVDs I just bought.
As soon as I can finish trimming off the plastic on the other speakers (Seriously a 3 day project, they did NOT want me having those), I'm going to mount these speakers in a very similar fashion, only slightly different. I'll put them in at a 25 degree angle behind the other speaker, mickey mouse head style.
This way, the more powerful center speaker will have more material pushed UP and INTO the path of its vibrations, as well as giving the effect of the tentacles of red goo of lurching forward before falling back into the reclamation pit. Should look pretty cool when I'm done.

Gaunt orgies, guardsmen rape, broodlord penises, giant babycannons, multiple breasts, beating small children and soon flamethrowers-doomthumbs, you are a GOD.
The Boombox Carnifex looks awesome. The spawning pool piece is going to be great, too. As a side note, your bits vacuum attachment was so awesome I forced my wife to bear witness to it's majesty.
I like seeing the 'above and beyond' conversions you do. The modeled stuff (like the basketball playing Tyranids) is cool, but fire breathing models, figs with speakers in them, and writhing spawning pools are beyond the normal level of cool.
It also helps me along, because I'm like 'well, this guy has moved on to making models that play music, maybe I should actually finish painting some models for once.' So, off to do some actual work.
The non-newtonian fluid idea may just be one of the best ideas I've seen on Dakka. I've never really seen anyone try to add something like this to a model in any way (the closest thing would be LEDs but they are no where near as kick ass as this). And, with my love of music, I think I'm going to have to make my own Boom-Fex. I'd like to see it in action.
I'm wishing I had the electronic know-wotz to make a NNF pool, now.
Doomthumbs, cornstarch goo gets pretty stinky after a few days; how are you approaching the issue of making the model cleanable? I'd be inclined to gloss varnish it, and maybe even coat that with vaseline so as to make it a very simple rinse job.

Being a chef in training i can help here! You basically have to wait for the cornstarch mix to completely harden (maybe an hour and a half of no movement), then you can just pluck away at it with a knife (my personal choice)/ spoon/ fork/ anything with a sharp pointyness to it which will get rid of it all (unless for some unknown reason its seeped into a crack....then your F ed)
It's all going to be contained in the cd lid. Worst case scenario I have to lose $4 of electronics parts and throw the whole thing out.
Tazz's idea is spot on. I only hope that once it dries it doesn't harm the speaker membrane to pop it out. I might just have to wash it out after every use.
The Boomfex's open mouth evokes a James Brown, "Aaaaooooh!" ... hmm, I dunno how to put that as an onomatopoeia. But it's a short yelp, close to, "Yeah!"
He feels good, and I understood you loud and clear.
Thanks. I love that model because it's the only Tyranid with two mouths. There's another set of teeth in there!
Great read, from the Gaunt Orgies, to Captain Clarify quoting the bible, to Boom-Fex... I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more.
Maybe you could make some break dancing gaunts/genestealers with their genitals whipping/flopping around as they dance/spin on their backs.
Also, are you considering a nice/easy way to clean your goo pool when it's not in use? EDIT: Oops, I forgot to refresh before I posted.. I guess I wasn't the only one considering that.
The turtle creature really is quite genius though! I may put some on some of my models. Simple and quite believable!
So, Doom, I have a question (a challenge?) for you. I recently spent some time converting some Sternguard Vets to have the combi-flamers and combi-meltas I needed, which involved the use of pieces of a few ball-point pens. (The kind with clicky tops.) Afterwards, I find myself with several of those little springs from inside the pens, and am wondering what to do with them. Their size makes me think that there could be some kind of use for them in an ambitious modeling project. So, what do you suggest? Anything cool you can think of to do with the springs?
Also, perhaps some kind of demonic figure might be a good way to mark your six hundred and sixty-sixth reply to this thread. Way to go!
I converted another AOBR Marine, only this time I didn't have him killed.
I gave him: DA biker legs, an Empire feathered hat, Chaos symbol bling/chains, Termnator shoulder pad codpiece, and skull tip cane.
I sculpted a cape out of greenstuff and melded it with the robes on the legs.
Oh, and also a thong with a heart on the crotch.
Pimpin'!

Mixed with guitar string, that would make nice necron guts.
Bobblehead servo skulls is also an option, as well as spring boots instead of jetpacks.
Or, if you want to model some playground equipment, you could have a spring based hobby horse.
Where are you getting the metrics for my post count, if at all? I'd be interested to see that myself!
You mean how did I know how many replies your thread had? If you look at it in the P&M Blog thread list (or the Painting and Modeling thread list when I posted that) it shows you how many replies your thread has as well as how many views it has. It always frustrates me when I ask a question and see 40 some odd views and 0 replies. This seems too easy...
Did I answer the right question? Or where you asking something different? I feel like the short bus kid in school who isn't smart enough to know when he's being made fun of and so starts to assume every question is a lead up to him being called a slow.
And, on a side note, the pimp marine looks great. I mentioned something in a similar vein to a friend years ago. Once again, great job. This guy should find a good home with some kind of Slaaneshi force. I particularly like the chain.
I for some reason thought you meant my views of the page, not total comments. I will do the demon idea as penance. At the same time I completely spaced on looking at that info to come to that realization.
I need to get some daemonettes, but dirty conversions with those just seem in poor taste. Dirtying a marine is a challenge, dirtying slaanesh is ... Slow clap material.
Love your pimpmarine and your sexual aliens (If anyone doubts that aliens are meant to be a bit sexual they should look up the work of H. Giger the artist behind the original aliens film.)
I think if you are tired of laughing at anatomy then you are tired of life. And to those who tell you to grow up; I always found that growing up involved an increased interest in sex!
I have a desperate urge to do some sexual conversions of my own - beastmen maybe?

Been working on this for a while, super secret like. Making my own sculpts based on Greek mythology, and then casting them in metal using lost wax method.
The tallest is about a centimeter taller than a space marine, but I'm aiming for a Special char/God, so I figure a larger than life stature is appropriate.
Below, from left to right, I've got an Apollo, Dionysus, and Icarus.
Going to cast a whole bunch of these and use them as counts as Blood Angels, with the Icarus fig being jump pack marines.
Let me know what you think of them so far.
Never cease to impress, doom. I mean, Gamesworkshop was getting this kind of quality out for the first ten years of it's existence and that was with all the commercial help and backup of the entire company. you did this on your own, so I applaud you.
Apollo is the sanguinor, and dio will be a sergeant. Icarus is same height as a marine.
It's an expensive and time consuming process, and I'm sure there's an easier way, but I have to break the mold out every time. Except for the Icarus one, where I've gone the extra mile to make a good two part mold, again with the help of a 3G printer.
@lindsay Yeah, though I hear the voice of Ben Parker every time I want to reproduce a gw sprue. Or even a part I made mashing GW bits together.
Access to high tech, bordering on magic? Check.
Wifey's permission to invest (waste) money on boxes and boxes of gw figs when I do just fine with what I have? Negative.
I'm jealous of your painting skill. I had to spend all day today painting eyes and teeth. Feathering carapace? Forget about it.
It's kinda sorta a thin line; duplicating to an extent isn't (IMHO) bad, per-say. If you get to copying piece after piece till you've reached army status that's a horse of a different color and copying pieces and selling them is a big, big, big no no. I believe GW hangs and quarters people for that... or forces you to write only positive reviews of fine cast and Matt Ward... >_<

I loled. But I left out details and pics for a reason.
Namely, I play at GW stores, and I do not relish the look on the blackshirt's face if I suddenly have apoc level forces for all armies. He would be sad, I would feel bad.
I like the GW figs and personally have no problem shelling out the cash for new figs as necessary.
My lady thinks otherwise on all counts.

I'm open to pretty much anything if I've got the parts on hand. Bits box is somewhat dwindling, but creativity going strong.
Terminator armor is nonexistant in my bits box, but I can slap some Nid bits together and see what happens.
Pre heresy? No can do. Post genestealer ovipositor? CAN do!
Presenting Genestealer Abbadon!
I just looked through every page of this thread and have only two things to say. One haters gona hate but should STFU cause no wants to hear you b%#%* about something that was better than yours and two this man is a god of scuplting and painting.
Wow, loving the abaddon model. never been a fan of him, but that's a sick bitzbash.
Laughed at the marine. Where'd you get the 'good' angel bit, if you remember?
Either a dark angel or blood angel vehicle sprue... I think.
It originally had a sword, but I cut that off leaving just the clasped hands. The halo is a brass cog from the basing kit with all but one tooth clipped off.
That marine with the angels is priceless. It goes without saying that the metal pieces you cast are excellent. 40k was in desperate need of some male nudity.

Well I quess the more recent stuff has dulled down a bit which, is probably for the best.
All your statements are true and I guess if you enjoy it I should have just shut up and I agree that having a unique army is the whole point of conversions.
I also like converting models myself but not as well as you :S
If you don't hate me already I'd just want to apologize and possibly suggest an emo genestealer?
Emo stealer: I was thinking hair over one eye, possibly peirceings if you go into that much detail, baggy jeans with chain, eye shadow and (if you want to add it) a knife cutting his own wrist.
Doomthumbs wrote:So, emo stealer. Hair in the eyes, maybe slit wrists, what else?
Standard black composition notebook that contains pages and pages of scrawled attempts at poetry? Hot Topic employee name badge? Eyeliner, which is (in this case) gender-neutral?
Emo stealer is just waiting on the GS clove cig to cure, pics tonight. He's got emo hair, skin tight GS pants( harder than it sounds), cutting his wrist, a notebook and nametag.
Hipster stealer might be next, box frame glasses and a Starbucks cup.
Looking forward to seeing the entire brood!
(Dakka Stealer? However you wanna make him, doomy, I think you can say better than me, what with our postcounts.)

Glow sticks. Neon.
Edit: While we're working with archetypes, how about a genestealer businessman. Suit, tie, briefcase. Hell, make him a Wall Street executive if you want, seems somehow fitting.

Thats the second time creeper has been linked in this thread...
I'm liking
The idea of a full squad of 20 stealers that are charicatures of different personality types. Keep the suggestions flowing, and if I like them, I'll model them and give you credit in a quote.
A gamer stealer. Dicebag, bottle of Pepsi, bag of Cheetos, rulebook. Some kind of oily greasy sheen to him. Neckbeard. Maybe, like those old Stinkor action figures, you could dip him in Patchouli so he stinks.
Or, redneck stealer. Overalls (one strap undone), John Deere cap, spitcup, shotgun. Include a three legged dog for extra points.
Redneck stealer will be done. I live in Texas and have run into more than my fair share. Three legged ripper dog sold that one in my mind. More detail= win.
I know there have been horrifying things in this thread so far, but this may cross a line ...
Village People genestealers.
I started thinking about a SM LandSpeeder with the marine looking up at a Highway Patrol GS about to issue a Moving Violation, but if the 'nid is in a cop uniform ... cue the "YMCA" chorus.

Okay, how about the swaggering, patrolman with the mirror shades ... perhaps something more stoic, like the Mirror-eyed guard from Cool Hand Luke? Maybe standing over a ditch that is filled with some IG's dirt?
It's not that a line was crossed, just that I want 20 separate characters, and even a group as small as four would theme the whole bunch.
The cool hand Luke stealer would be good, but somewhat hard to make people positive what it was. Lots of days in the box for wrong guesses.
Also to quote Jon lajoie : still not loving the po-lice, still got love for the vaginal crease.
Your modeling skills are fantastic as is your creativity. I can not say how much i have enjoyed going through and staring at the hilarious models you have created! Absolutely brilliant!
You sir, have been subscribe to.
How about you make a:
JewStealer. Beard, and hat(No idea on how to spell it) (No offense to any jewish people)
Pyro-Stealer. Lighters and fire everywhere!
Not sure how either will work out. I look forward to seeing more of your Stealers!!!

Rather than just a Jewish Genestealer, go all out. The Mohel Genestealer, or tipstealer.
Robes, a beard, a little yarmulke or even the hat and hair extensions and a tiny guillotine for the tip; something like Rabbi Tuckman, Mel Brooks character in Men in tights.
edit: too many commas, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I'm better now.

I'll take 2, lol.
Since I give them all toxin sacs, with an acid blood broodlord, would they be Hasidic? No, thats terrible.
In other news, I think I stumbled on a great way to make rivets/coins out of greenstuff. Just roll it into a cylinder, and keep rolling it so it doesn't get a flat bottom..
Then once its dry, you just start chopping away 1mm sections.
Genestealers: Money, baby.
I was going to just leave it at the first picture below, but you guys deserve more.
That is both provocative and offensive, and I appreciate neither.
Are you kidding me? First of all, he was looking for characters/personalities. Genocidal maniacs are a very (sadly) real and current personality in the world. (And 40k fluff is Allllllll about genocidal races striving to wipe out other species. This game should pretty much be called Genocialwar 40k) I'm sorry if the mention of Hitler was detrimental to you, but I in no was was advocating his actions. I was suggesting a way to have fun at his expense.
Secondly, I believe I am in a thread where genestealers and shooting coins out their rear ends (and this is a tame example of things)... There have been much worse things in this thread. Do you know where you are? Suggesting a Mock hitler is one of the least offensive things in this thread. It's right behind the slam-dunk ripper!
Been on the ropes of whether or not to accept the Mohel / Hitler stealers, on grounds that yeah, that could be a little offensive.
But then I said to myself, "What if the Mohel Stealer was clipping the tip off of the Hitler stealer?"
So, I'm going to do both. Tastefully, of course. I will be using the left facing swastika, which while historically inaccurate, goes the extra mile to not be abjectly offensive.
And yet, nether of those will be as offensive as OBGYN stealer, who will be eating the baby.

Actually, A mock hitler could be the most offensive, as it isn't actually how people think of sex, but a real event in which millions died. But that isn't the point, honestly, I don't care if you play with a hitler-stealer.
See my signature? I thoroughly uphold that this thread is awesome.

ZephyrRey wrote:Obviously jokes cannot be taken by some members of this community, and I think that this is a deplorable lack of humor.
Lolz
Since it seems to be such an issue, you could always make an Allied Genestealer taking a crap on IG Hitler, to make the joke more obviously (for the less insightful) anti-nazi.
Also a Butcher Stealer complete with meat cleaver, bloody white apron and a bloody limb in another hand could be good.
Or maybe a stealer in a bright yellow summer dress frolicking in a green field of daisies with a big sun hat on. Or, while on the topic of summer, maybe a rollerblading stealer with round rimmed sunglasses and an afro.
How about the genegangsta? Baggy pants, chain, ballcap with the price sticker still on it, gold fronts on his fangs. Firing some kind of pistol sideways.

Just 4 heaping handfuls of blow? Lounging in a biomass pit smoking a cigar? With a huge modified deathspitter?
The possibilities are endless. I just know its a real bitch trying to sculpt a 3 piece suit on a genestealer.
Anyway, below are 3 more Genestealers. Hitler, Mohel, and OBGYN. Next up is the "Stereotype me I'm Irish" Nid, while I try and sculpt a suit.
And a sun dress.
Fan freaking tastic. Lots of character in this thread, and not of the sort that you usually see in minis.
While the idea of a Jean stealer does strike me as a particualy bad pun (I got yo pants!), how bout MacStealer, complete w/ kilt and tartaned bagpipe venom sac.

Would a 'Lucifer' genestealer simply be anti-climatic after Adolf?
How about Gene Simmons? Or not so good nor much of a stretch, as he's already a long-tongued monster with a daemonic face?
Someone got offended at a "genefurer" suggestion ! ? In *this* thread?
More lulz.
Then, the OBGYnstealer.
And Mel Brooks. Some ought to get a hold of Mr. Brooks and show him this. He'd appreciate it.

i love how people think i was actually offended. obviously no one knows what sarcasm is anymore.
I was simply refuting the point that 'hitler isnt as offensive as the tentaclerape thrope etcetc'
I'm only saying that some people are super offended by taking the holocaust in a humorous light. Jeez, people. I myself don't care, the genestealer idea is a fun one.

*snicker* I thought you'd chime back in.
ZR, "text" lacks tone and inflection, unless you're a *really* good writer or you have the context of a dialogue between characters to frame or reference the sarcasm people are gonna read it for what it says.
So, we forum nerds use emoticons, italics, bold, asterisks, colors and so forth to add bend, wistfulness, drollness and all that. Straight up typing is ... straight up in tone and thus vewwy vewwy difficult to discern whether tongue in check or serious.
Sometimes sarcasm needs to be *really* overt on the boards.

^ Agreed. Sorry for getting on your case. I understand it's important to be sensitive to other people's issues, I just didn't think it was that bad, especially since it's not like I suggested (Don't look at this, it's inappropriate...)
Spoiler:
a burning jewstealer
, just the douche bag that signed off on the burning...
And while I'm being inappropriate... I know you already did jesus on the cross, but you could do jesus stealer dragging a cross with thorns around his head and a loin cloth (with some dangling man bits below?) as well. Or a Muhammad Stealer with a wicked beard carrying explosives. (Or Muhammad Ali, with boxing gloves and shorts, standing over a KOed white guy) Or you could do a blue-skinned Krishna Stealer with a third eye. I apologize if that's too far...

Lower strata geniuses like myself come equipped standard with it, along with the innate ability to bypass content filters.
And now you know.
And knowing is half the battle.
Awww yeah, its the top of a new page, and you know what that means. Contentsplosion.
Heres what I've got for today: My first GS press mold, an attempt at sculpting Genestealer Trollface, IrishStealer WIP (needs a pot of gold and a beer, and stomping a snake), and a very special treat and first time appearance of Tyranid breasts.
I ordered a bunch of Reaper minis for conversion parts, and was inspired by their mascot, Sophie the Succubus.
The words 'prolapse', 'cloaca' and 'tagnut' have all been used before on dakka, but never in the same post. Presenting my first Tervigon, with magnetised Gaunt pupa:
Got four more in a semi-built state, to be put together when this has passed through the paint queue.
Lindsay, can I just say that I love that you go outside for photos?
Lightbox? Eff that, I orbit a ball of plasma.
And it works. It works really damn well.
So I stumbled on to this thread the other night and thought what the hell, then I looked at it from a different point of view. What would it look like if the tervigon did birth em? Then i saw your pic dt and lindsay and i thought to myself guess that is what it would look like. either way love the thread, the boobs are pretty damn funny. My grammar is not so bad but that punctuation thing kills me.
Some of the other people who do P&M Blogs have edited the first post to contain a table of contents, so people know what pages have which pics on them. Might I recommend something like that for this blog? It seems like it might help newcomers to your fanbase, Doom.

Its not dead, just sleeping as I work on CSM. If it gets poked with a stick, it will still moan and wave a hand.,
I'll revive it soon, mostly painting updates, but the sad truth is that paying off student loans and That I can field 2 full tyranid armies (Oh for FOCs sake!), the nids won't be growing any time soon.
CSM (Dirty Nurgle, of course.) are in the works, expanding a joint custody chaos faction. I also got modeling work stripping and breaking apart, then rebuilding a nid force that was put together by some maniac, and I might post pics from that.
But yeah, definite dormancy unless someone requests something really great/ I miracle into some more disposable nids. (Trust me, I'm arguing with the Nid comission guy to just let me go to town on this force, since its all big bugs and such.)
So I was sketching ideas for Primes and Warriors built as banner bearers and cavalry. Posted it on my P&M blog, where it was pointed out the the top-right drawing has a place in this thread:
The important thing is that they seem to be enjoying themselves.
Also liking the wrist mounted devourer. Might have to steal that.
Is that a prehensile clawed wang? You win, sir. You win.
The idea was that there's a quadrupedal Warrior, with a symbiotic 'rider' with atrophied legs sitting/merging on its midsection. Now I'm even more inclined to think that the Zoat-like centaur in the bottom left quarter is the way to go for my fleet, at least for the first unit*... I'll leave realising the willygaunt to you for now
*armed as per your suggestion in that other thread, sounds interesting and I want to do these wristvourers.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oooooh, I see what you mean by the wang. No, it's a lower arm from a Genestealer.
Still like the idea of a Warrior standing erect with a big ol' willygaunt, though.
Still breathing!
Got some nid updates, some requests filled out, and a preview of my forthcoming nurgle thread, wherein I actually paint stuff in addition to conversions.
First up is a ripper that Lindsay inspired, gotta love the spider legs for faster scuttlin'.
Then, the much requested "Creep" Genestealer, with his arms t-rexin. Needs some body work and a mustache.
A while back, I mentioned some "Special" eldar rangers. Here they are. Each painted a color of the Power Rangers. Love these guys.
And then a front and back shot of my Nurgle Sorc. I've sculpted a bunch of nurgly tubes and infestation points in addition to 3 sets of nurgle dots.
Got to say, nurgle is pretty easy to convert in that its mostly greenstuff, and the more you mess it up the better it looks. Just smearing it after licking my thumb and then poking it with a toothpick looks pretty good. Or bad, but good. Nurgle.
I agree with Texas, but this still looks good. No real complaints, it just looks slightly off, but hey, it's khorne getting a beej from slaanesh. It's gonna be weird
A quick click on Connors name reveals this, that he knows doomthumbs outside of dakka. Which makes me frown since I know him too but don't even have friend status.

He probably just doesn't like you. You should take it personally and be insulted.
Well, I guess we'll all just have to get by without him and make up our own dirty creations!
I'm back from a time out, and have learned very important lessons about containment and self restraint.
You guys though, thanks for making my eye twitch. I couldnt even get to a quick reply box though, but thanks for the digital equivalent of putting your hand on the prison glass.

Stripped by delicate sensibilities right off.
So during my break I got it into my head that I was going to work on my GS sculpting skills, as well as using GW parts to make new stuff.
In the same way that given a blank canvas I have trouble painting a picture is solved by giving me a mini to paint, so too was my problem of not knowing what to sculpt. So I decided to try and sculpt the lower half of a warrior. Accurately, not as I believe it should look. You're welcome on that point.
Anyway, it goes nicely with this white chocolate torso that my buddy made, and I think I did a bangup job. I had a lot of spare time.
Also, predator mask. I made it using a warrior crotch. Yay more crotch face!
I am not going to lie i nearly died laughing at the first picture and had to walk away from this thread more than once but over reading the last 28 pages i have but one thing to say ...
Well done sir, well done.
your brilliant responses at the haters and trolls has had me laughing and booing the whole way along. The emotional journey has drainned me of all my energy. At some points i wanted to kiss you and yet at other, well we just wont go there...
Your genius for converting and creating is only surpassed by your wit and confidence to school haters...
Well done again
P.S. the gaunts that live in your butt... has me laughing every time i see it this is a true work of art.
Actually nah, I'll post em now. Still a painting WIP (hey, what isn't), but the conversion work is mostly done.
Whenever I play 40k, I try and set up a small wager with my opponent. Ideally, its one basic infantry model, but dice are also accepted.
Usually it ends very poorly for my "prisoners of war".
Fu*% Geneva!
It virtually assures demoralization of the opponent to use literally one of his own guys, defiled, as an objective marker.
Makes for some brutal revenge themed games, where no punches are pulled.
Wow. Finally finished this amazing body (orfice?) of work. Just have a few idea suggestions:
For Nids:
---A"beanstealer", in a little poncho with a sombrero and a GS taco or something. Maybe give him a tiny green card.
---A "Cleanstealer." Give him the Mr. Clean bald head (oh, wait...), earing, t-shirt/pants and tiny bottles of windex and/or feather dusters. Hell, or just do a french maid-stealer.
---For your earlier theme of Sex, drugs, and rock & roll, why not have a Nid doing lines of intestines off a rhino hull? Heck, that could be the Gene Simmons stealer ---Russian nesting dolls. Have a ripper with a flesh hook coming out of it's mouth, coming out of a gaunt's mouth, coming out of a warriors mouth, coming out of a trygon/fex's mouth. Or reverse the orfice of exit to keep in theme (Goatseption?). Plus, it can proxy for any model you need
For Chaos:
---A Khorne berserker in the "Singing in the Rain" pose, with blood raining down all around. Or simply splashing for fun in a blood-filled fountain (I'm imagining a tiny daemonic rubber ducky in there too).
---Honestly, you have a slanesh marine blowing a khorne one, so why not a pair of lesbo daemonettes/marines? Or just pink horrors, with all the fingertips...converted into.... not fingers.
---A chaos lord and/or rhino, covered in spines. Instead of only having one or two rows of spines, feth that and cover every square inch of available surface with spikes (even toothpick ends).

I'm also imagining a greater daemon model, with the upper half of a bloodthirster attached to a headless CSM trooper, like he couldn't quite pop all the way out of the armor. Or maybe just have it substitute a single leg or similar, with the marine's arms outstretched and shambling around. It'd be a bitch to pin, but it'd look awesome. Plus, leave the original CSM helmet perched on the bloodthrister's head like a tiny ridiculous hat.
Another idea could be a dreadnight, warped into a dreadnought or defiler, and with a pink horror in the baby carrier. It could have a modified DCCW that could look like an inflatable squeak-hammer, and a SM or IG guy impaled on a huge, IG-torso-sized spiked member (another DCCW?). You could also have a CSM on a "beast of Slaanesh" (dunno if anyone uses them anymore), riding a daemonette on all fours with a gimp saddle or something.
It could even be pink horrors or bloodthristers. It's just the bigger the model, the funnier the conversion. You could also mod a greater daemon to look like an old man and have it riding a dreadnaught like a motorized scooter, complete with handlebars, wire bin with limbs and giblets of his enemies, and an air tank on the back

I'm just imagining a bloodthirster with an axe blade on the end of a cane, dripping blood. You could have a blanket that looks like it's stitched together from human skin (sorta like the old Henrich Kemmler model's cloak), maybe with wailing faces arranged in a flower pattern or something...
Please, Mr Thornberry, you're filling me with Codex envy.
I cannot fiscally, or physically, take up another army. I'm confident in my greenstuff abilities and creativity, but I'm saddled with student loan debt and lack of space.
Seriously, I've got a whole room devoted to this crap, its a mess. Paint and taco bell trays with random bits on it all over the place. And its all Tyranid and chaos stuff at the moment.
To really bring the point home, part of it isn't even fully mine! I share joint custody (not so much anymore the custody of joints) with my good buddy Connor up there. We've cobbled together a Chaos force using the powers of Nurgly love, tournament winnings, sanctioned theft at bits bazaars, and Connors dark painting bargains with Jungle dwelling JuJu men. Its mostly all his, what with a demon and two rhinos being my only contribution, so I can't just go chopping it all to hell conversion wise (rest easy on that front, they are all unharmed).
Thats not to say that all of your old man demon ideas aren't hilarious. Thanks for posting them here on the odd chance I get a conversion commission or an unexpected windfall. It makes my eye physically twitch with wanting to do some of those. Keep the suggestions coming though.
Funny story about the oxygen tank: I'm an incorrigible, despicable human being, and so have no qualms about asking people I see with those "Hey, can I hit that?"
And they usually laugh and share! Yeah!
I get good and worked up playing 40k. All those rules to argue, crucifying people who cheat (or don't cheat the right way, subject to whim), and trying to interject wild excitement by ululating at the sky and rapidly pumping my fists. Wears a man out. So a tip of the hat to the emphazemic man at my FLGS who last friday brought a splitter cable for his tank so I could get an occasional cheap rush for the cost of a metal ravener.
Hmmm. I assume you still have a plethora of nids to convert, if only the shrimpy ones I will offer my help here, should you still feel the need to convert and/or offend
---There's the classic goatse biovore, which you could probably convert a warrior to. However, I doubt this will be too new/interesting since you've already got the goatse tervigon. Or you can simply make a really, really big throbbing... Spore launcher... and some special... "Spore Mines" with your hot glue blob, painted the appropriate shade of white. Suddenly, even units resistant to the blast effects don't want to approach the Nid-splooge, securing you victory!
---Perhaps a mawloc/trygon which is simply a vagina dentata on the end of a meaty spiny shaft? Sorta like the tyrrannofex's gun, except the whole model, and with teeth. Heck, you could even do that with rippers, and replace the entire front head/eyes/mouth with said vagina dentata: "Yeah, so my fanged vagina swarm just ate your SM Devestator squad." "F**k you man, that's nasty. I'm outta here"
---A zoanthrope with a naked, psycically held IG guardsman or SM, both violating him with a psychic dildo as well as using a psychic paddle/anal beads on him. You could use a blue-painted version of the sculpted shape from hot glue or something similar. Kind of paying homage to the hentaithrope, but with psychics!
---This is probably self-evident at this point, but I think your army has a very different view of "Implant attack" then most. Perhaps you could show this on the Gargoyles (I forget what their version is called) with a large, ribbed/studded ("For the Emperor's Pleasure") penii. Honestly, there's been a distinct lack of penises in your last few pages
---For your objective markers or big bugs (on the 80mm bases or whatever size it is), make a hollow mound with a large-ish hole on top, and a second smaller one near the bottom (For a bug, simply hollow the interior out and make the two holes). Insert Emperor Scorpion (live). Large angry envenomed tail ensures your MC will never be assaulted, and the objective will never be approached. Plus, you can feed crickets/flies/fingers to the scorpion through the hole near the base, so it can survive and thrive, preventing any so-called cruelty

Or maybe just have it substitute a single leg or similar, with the marine's arms outstretched and shambling around. It'd be a bitch to pin, but it'd look awesome. Plus, leave the original CSM helmet perched on the bloodthrister's head like a tiny ridiculous hat.
I'm going to borrow this idea if you don't mind. I've just started thinking about what to do for a Khorne force and this will have to be done.
There are quite a few possibilities on how this could be done, I need to have a think on this one in a cold dark room for a while.
Hell, if you want to theme an army like that, have a Chaos Daemon army (don't recall how viable they are in 40Katm) with stuff like pink horros popping out of the chests of guardsmen, bloodthirsters wearing necrons corpses draped over them like armor (Suck it, Flayed Ones! ), daemonettes riding eldar like horses (with the eldar armor suitably bondageified. Did I just make a new word there?), and I'm imagining a Greater Daemon of [Anything but Khorne] with a large-ish fishbowl they're examining, with a couple dead/drowning tau FW/Ethereals in it, with a bemused expression on their face.
@Doomthumbs: Awwww. Are there any particular units for any armies you need ideas for converting/defiling?
No, I have a sufficiently filthy mind.
I just need materials, lol.
I'm actually stealing the idea of a buddy of mine (Texas Instrument) of making Tyranid stand in models out of chocolate. When my warriors eat a melta round, I eat the warrior.
If you bring warriors, prepare to eat a lot of chocolate. Damn loss of EW and T4...
You could also have a second Zoanthrope torturing persuading an IG guardsman with a little psychic table he's strapped to, upside-down with a psychic bucket of water being poured over his head.
Now now. That's not strictly torture. Thats the Zoanthrope trying to get information out of that guardsmen so that he can find the food that the IG is hiding.
He's really just talking to the guardsman. Talking to him while the guardsman thinks hes drowning.
Eating a lot of chocolate while playing 40k...
Hmmm..
Hold on! We just solved the mystery of "How to get your female counterpart to come play 40k"!
Oh no. Honey, I lost another one. Would you mind? Of course not? Oh thanks, I love you. Ok lets roll some more dice!
There will be medals for sure. Maybe even a Nobel Prize.
Plus, if your opponnent is staring at boobies instead of your Dickanids, it'll be easier to surprise him with your tactics and/or bees
Also, I edited the previous post of mine for political correctness.
Automatically Appended Next Post: If you were feeling rather ambitious, you could create an entire squad of "termagaunts" for your goatse tervigon, using your blob of hot glue method to sculpt a rough blobby termagaunt-ish shape. Simply add a fleshborer and chunks of corn, and you have a Fecagaunt!
Automatically Appended Next Post: Plus, they'll never get shot at if you state a simple rule at the beginning of the game: "Any of my models that are killed must be pick up by your opponent. Barehanded."
I've tried to catch every post in here but I may have some. Have you considered doing any hentai style work using the tentacle-y Venomthrope? Possibly with a Sister of Battle?

1) You, sir, are a childish genius. Genius, yes, but I can only imagine what you could be turning your mind to
2) That's not hating- If you want to turn your mind to this, its your mind to turn it to whatever. As long as you do it well and with style 3) In case you hadn't gotten it yet, you're doing it very well with bucketloads of style
If i saw your army in real life, I would have only one initial reaction:
But then I would laugh at it and ask how you did all the conversions. Keep up the good work, +1 subscription earned
I have decided to take up the challenge of having "revenge" themed battles. I have a bunch of nid bits, and I am going to make some theme things for poisoning and impaling nids with all the spikey toxic dark eldar goodness. First one will be genestealer impaled by raider. Objective markers will be a wyches smashing some rippers with prancy feet. Final piece will be a diorama of my poison truborne downing a carnifex. They like squashing bugs.
(for the record i love painting tyranids which is why I like the idea of doing this.)
Meh, he's been hush-hush on here for months, so the lone voice crying for decency has been silenced by the mob calling for blood, violence, and boobies. As it should be...
@Doomthumbs: So whatcha working on now? Any hints for us savages eagerly waiting for your next creation/abomination/abortion?
Edit: Noooo, I inadvertenly caused an entire pic-free page, save for a disapproving owl...
'Stealer with a Mane. 'Stealer with the "Oil Can Hat."
'Stealer with Straw coming out his canopy and the Hayseed hat.
Stealer in a little Farm Girl Frock w/ Apron. Carring a Basket with a ripper inside (Toto)
I give you the Trygon painted sparkling green for the "Great and Powerful OZ!"
Challenge Level: NOT Using Greenstuff to make a penis for something.
You sir, have a bet! The Prize? My custom made Ork base, resplendent with my own #32 Molar, hand pulled (well the channel locks helped) from my own head.
It's getting really hard to tell with your work. On one hand, it does kinda bother me that you've got some Genestealer... shenanigans on the table. On the other hand it's crazy awesome. And then I see your rippers doing hilarious things and think, man you're talented. And then, next thing I know, there'll be a tyranid with his naughty bits stuck in something new that makes me question my choice in role models. Keep it up, your modeling just gets better 'n better.
Nice work on the little diorama. I haven't been keeping up with this thread as much as I normally do, which is kind of sad. But some of the stuff here is good for inspiration purposes. Oh, also, for the dice for your mini table...Hobby Lobby sells tiny strips of squared balsa wood. If you cut those into squares, you could put pips on with a pin, and they might be small enough to look right with the rippers (or whatever other model you want to share your hobby). Just a thought.
That looks great. The red ripper doing measurments and all... One of those rippers needs a rulebook, or we might get a rules argument and someone might loose an eye.
Hi there, I've been reading the forum and im infatuated(sorry if my spelling is incorrect). i only got to page 17 but had an idea for a conversion. a friend called me Jabba the Hut W*nk earlier and I thought hmmm.... jabba nid style?
Automatically Appended Next Post: the whole big drooly mouth thing or even the film space balls version of jabba the pizza hut....
Automatically Appended Next Post: OOOO WESTERN THEME NIDS....
Been working on some new nid stuff, figured I should post it here since the crickets were getting bored.
I picked up 2 hive tyrants and a broodlord, and I'm going to be converting them up all special like.
I'm magnetizing one of the tyrants to be a swarmlord occasionally, and figured it deserved a custom head with some huge pincers.
Because hey, who doesn't like a little head.
Anyway, its a spore mine clipped of its trailing tentacles, glued on top of a mawloc tail. Its a quick and dirty conversion, so please dont mind the mold lines or shoddy paintjob slapped over the even shoddier paintjob underneath.
So I've been working at the St.Louis Butterfly house this summer as a volunteer while im away from school, and i've gotta say, I love those mandibles. Today I got to feed a scorpion some crickets in front of little kids. A vinegaroon, in fact, and those suckers have some NASTY looking claws. not dangerous, but they look wicked. You should try something to that effect, Methinks.
... Watching it chase those crickets around its little carrier... that was great. As was the little 3 year old watching with me, screaming every time it moved.
That reaaaaally makes me want to make a gargoyle that is a butterfly with pincers like that.
I've got a few emperor scorpions that I keep in the cricket cage. I have a bearded dragon, and I like to be nice to my critters (except wasps), so I keep around 100 crickets to feed to the dragon. Crickets are famously loud, but two scorpions do a fantastic job of making them shut up.
And yeah, its a real crowd pleaser when they get hungry.

Now that would be something to see.
How big is this cricket cage that you can fit scorps in it as well as triple digit cricket numbers?
Its a repurposed 50 gallon aquarium turned into a desertscape. When the bearded dragon got too big for this one it became the new cricket cage. A significant upgrade from the dinky plastic one with egg crates in it housing crickets in slumlike conditions. Now I can hold more between pet store runs, so that is now a 2 times a month chore instead of twice a week.
I'm tryng to find a nice pair of butterfly wings that would fit on a termagant. I made a smaller version on the head using the old "Red terror" model and the same spore mine. Should work nicely once I can find a suitably laughable set of wings.
Maybe this new one will be my parasite, who knows.
One of the missions (the first one) requires that you give your opponent one of your troops to serve as a "traitor" model that is worth extra points for killing.
Now, how does that make you feel? The word "traitor".
I have only negative connotations.
A traitor to me brings mental images of a disgusting backstabbing being who is proud of his deceit. Fair game for mockery.
Since this model will be in control of my opponent, I want it to be embarrassing to handle, and also still promote Tyranid pride.
So here is my Tyranid Traitor. I've painted him up like my army, but given him a lighter, brighter coat of paint and a very special banner.
After Ard Boys, I'm going to change it into a regular Tyranid banner. This one isn't my style.
Ard Boys is about winning the games. Painting isn't an issue either. The point system is laid out already, and it's got nothing to do with anything except crushing the opponent into a fine powder and then feeding it to the next one.

I guess I wasn't the only one considering that. 
Golly, I didn't it *was* possible to cross a line in this thread. Who'da thought?
Lots of character in this thread, and not of the sort that you usually see in minis.
I know you already did jesus on the cross, but you could do jesus stealer dragging a cross with thorns around his head and a loin cloth (with some dangling man bits below?) as well. Or a Muhammad Stealer with a wicked beard carrying explosives. (Or Muhammad Ali, with boxing gloves and shorts, standing over a KOed white guy) Or you could do a blue-skinned Krishna Stealer with a third eye. 
Wait... How do you know this? 
blaaaaahh
