Very cool looking army. I'm a big fan of the colorful armies, which your usage of color is fantastic. Looking forward to more pics.

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby. |

These are just awesome. I can't wait to see a bastion (over 4 Billion Killed).
I have the gretchen/grots as the fry guys for now. I have been working on a plan for the squigs. It will likely (for the time being at least) be the "hamburger patch" from some of the commercials from the Sid and Marty Croft days of McAdvertising.
Clthomps wrote:You should have them all standing on 25mm "All Beef Patties" 
I plan on having those as objective points. I became obsessed with creating a McMuffin McGuffin (largely in that all objective points are mcguffins anyway, and it's really fun to say out loud). It will be done.

That is freakin' awesome. I didn't know they did delivery. I will be doing the Deffkoptas to look like the mopeds they drive around. I found some pictures online after reading your post. Oh yes, it will be done  .
Garuss Acine wrote:Awesome, just pure win, now someone has to do an Dunkin Donuts IG army.
See, PART of this terrible idea started back when I got into Dawn of War for the PC and assigned a fast food restaurant to all the playable armies. As it stands, IG are White Castle. It wasn't until Dawn of War 2 that I realized the proper choice for Dunkin' Donuts was in fact the Tyranids. It just makes sense once you start to think about it.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, and I would love some help finding someone to assist me in making some waterslide decals. It turns out I know NO ONE with an ink-jet printer (which is very, very odd if you ask me), and was thinking maybe I can work out a trade with someone for the printing and the paper with some graphic design (I'll either lay out badges so you can print already existing ones, or we can talk and I can come up with an illustration for you for layout and print).
Freehanding those little M's is harder than one would think.
Anyway, if anyone could see it in their hearts (or clearly broken brains) to help me out with this, PM me. Thanks.

All we can say is those fries don't make themselves... or do they? Please make sure you have secured your coffee safely before driving.
I gotta be honest, I just wanted to do this model straight. It looks cool without me messing with it. When I get around to making another one, I'll convert it all to hell. For now though, I'm happy here. Hopefully if I get the waterslide decal thing figured out, I'll be able to smack this with the appropriate logos.

im seriously considering a fastfood army now
although it probably wont turn out as good as yours
great paint scheme and little conversions, really make the army unique, as well as the mcqwerkiness of it...

Maybe this is a little cliche, but I think the best Dunken Donut army should be police, so arbiters seem the natural choice to me.

No, sadly. Although I do look forward to attempting to match them. I have about 70 years to catch up on.
And you has been reading my thought-meats. If I end up getting a stompa, I was going to make it a giant replica of Grimm-Uss.

I wouldn't say I'm gonna try and encourage you, but let me add that it would be sad to let a franchise opportunity like this pass you by...
And thank you on "Drive Me Closer..." I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the demotovational poster, and now I can't stop laughing at my own model.

You may in fact have a point. I was just coming at it from the roach angle. You have identified a much larger variety of pest that tends to inhabit Dunkin' Donuts, and therefore more threatening.

This is what happens when you order things on ebay. At least, if you order things without reading them on ebay.
"$15 bucks for two trukks?!? Hell yes!"

"These are... kinda small."
So, this is where I'm at on converting the first one. I'm thinking about finishing it to look like the Playland ball pit. Suggestions are welcome.
PS: Still looking for help/suggestions in the waterslide decal department. Either hit me up PM or in-thread. Thanks.
