I reckon we should do that in real life. Maybe then our guys in Afraqiganistan would have some pukka kit.
Can you imagine Seb Vettel doing a photo shoot with the new M1A3 Abrams Red Bull Tank? How cool would that be?

On the other hand wars would last like for 10-12 years minimum.

Oh silly me.

They do.

Oh, and back on topic, My Black Consuls all have Nike boots. . .

Hey! I resent that. That was exactly what I planned to do, until I shoved that to my future Exodite Eldar. Picture of first model

Also: Chibby Tyranids ~Nyu? (and ofcourse Smurf or Hello Kitty Marines)

However, if you work out an original idea well (and it doens't offend the canon too much), all the more kudo's from me! I like seeing original armies.

hey that's a pretty nice paint job (and base)!!!!

Personally I always thought a Nazi theme'd chaos army would be pretty striking....only problem is that somebody might just stomp the gak out of your mini's...literally!

I had thought of Queen Victoria and One of the Phillips of Spain as The Big E but Old Bonaparte seems right for the role......maybe as a IG commander.....

**Viktor von Domm**

but then GW was caught, MMOs gave a shot
and to female gamers did buckle under.

Frankly, I liked his FSM conversions. They aren't as nice as some I've worked on for people, but they weren't bad, given the primitive state of FSM minis at the time.

It can work on the right things though. I used a whole throne of judgement leg on my Warboss I made. You just need the right sized mini, a DP would be good for that size

**Peter Wiggin**

True enough, Dreads make nice parts sourcing for IW DP's...... Like the Warboss....nice to see an individual Ork troop with quality conversion work done.

Not that I'd have anything like that on the back burner.

I just wasn't going the right direction with the lower legs on that guy. Ended up scrapping basically everything in the pic. lol
