isnt it the same place you get sweet sweet lemonade from :?

For the last few months I've been using a rebel Trooper riding a tauntaun from Star Wars Miniatures as a stand-in for my Necron C'tan. Finally bought the offical model, but I was kinda connected to my brave tauntaun warrior! He killed many a space marine and ork!

My mate has a Thunderpig Lord. (yes its on a fat pig).

Grots as Lootas (different mate)

I had to use three rubber duckies as DE raiders a while back. The game was (unsuprisingly) silly.

Are the ponies the deathly enemies of the Hello Kitty army?

No, they are the preffered enemy of the "puppy in my pocket" horde

More a slaanesh thing imho..

Would you mind if I put this in my sig?

There is a story at my FLGS about one guy who put on some gumboots and proxied himself as a Warlord titan.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I once saw a player with an entire Ork list that he ran as Blood Angels. On the plus side, it was completely heavily converted and had everything fielded properly, it was just odd to see Orks being played as Blood Angels.

In the realm of non-tournament acceptable proxying, I've played with bricks as Land Raiders before, it really makes them more menacing IMO.

What type of titan?

The worst proxying i've seen is ye olde soda can drop pod. Well, 3 of them...

One of my friends proxied a coke can duct taped to a brick as an ork battlewagon with deathrolla.

However, the same one also proxied a watering can as a basilisk.

I saw one dude make his hands count as dreadnoughts. He used da fingers as legs.

My friend played with pieces of paper...

I used pennies as guardsmen once. It took ages to find so many .

Step on a finger and break it off?

He tucked the appropiate fingers in
was a fist when immobilised and weapon destroyed. lol

My friend (who is only just now getting his army together) has been playing an amalgam of models from different armies, since he hasn't had any models and I have three armies. I think the best one was when he made a unit of scarab swarms using crisis suits, wolf guard terminators, and Ork HQs.

Although probably the strangest one was one we made up on the spot. One buddy of mine was playing an Eldar list with 6 wave serpents, but only had 3. So we let him put two killa kans next to each other to represent the model. Boy, facing got confusing after a while.

We called it "Jack Skellington".

Indeed. I have faced Brettonian skeletons, Skaven skeletons, Chaos Marauder skeletons, Goblin skeletons and Empire skeletons. Funny thing is, all from the same player.
As for me, I have used pieces of paper for Mangler Squigs, before the models came out and because I didn't have big enough bases.

I think they make good bikers. They move too fast in the show to be cavalry.

I'm newer to the hobby, and I wanted to try out a Screaming Bell for my Skaven, because everyone who talks Skaven lists raves about them. So I found a picture online, made an appropriate sized box in photoshop, pasted in the picture. I even added "DOOM BELL PROXY!" in this cool drippy blood font.

Then I sent it to the printer in the upstairs office (from the Mac in the livingroom) and deleted the file without saving.

I forgot to check the DPI, stupid thing printed out full page instead of 100mmx60mm.

Can't argue with that logic...

I can do one better
