mmm sort of, it uses troll dolls as, well trolls (converted to be holding spears and wear a bit of armour and have loincloths)
and the troll king is a larger doll (with a converted suit made from plastic card, business cards, green stuff and bitz
(this one to be specific, not in armour)

Of course, as long as i see some pics. would love to come up with rules for a gretchin swarm. something like 50+ super gretchin, can combine attacks for greater strength....

Converting some pieces of tanks, The sides of a tanks, A piece that looks like a large square engine. A Door Spring and some other weapon and building kit pieces into a Looted Wagon.

I now have two of these. I need a third one.

I have quite a few ideas waiting for me to turn them into models; they lie in my sketchbooks and I plan to try a few in competitions so not sharing a couple of them. Most of them are designs for sculpts I plan on trying and varying attempts at me trying to get a chaos giant or spawn I want to field. I had plans for an entire army of Sisters of Silence but stopped plotting when I realised I didn't have the time or skill to do it.

Another I'd love to build is Morathi on Sulephet... I have four sketches of varying poses for this but nothing I'm happy with. I've also had an idea for a Blood Angels based diaorama I've named "Rage Controlled?"... its stupidly hard to explain and invloves me building a lot of a very elaborate, dark gothic prison cell with a far too ornate restraining device. (Something like what holds Tai Lung - the bad guy - in Kung Fu Panda... seeing that film was a 'eureka' moment for me in the design of this.) This is the most ambitious of my plans and by far the least likely for me to do as far as time/skill constraints go. Pretty much I know I'll never get round to it... ever!

I want to convert a Forgeworld Elysian Tauros Venator to look more like vehicle that operates behind enemy line on desert worlds: extra tires, lots of fuel containers, ramps (to put under the tires if they get stuck in the sand), dust filters, tarps to cover the weapons when not in use, etc.

damn you!!! my bank account is a little less full after seeing that model. Can anyone say "Counts as Landspeeder"?

A Stompa(or something Bigga) made from looted vehicles(think Voltron/ Power Rangers, Land raider for a foot, monolithe for the chest)

Oe you read my mind I had this idea of one boy on top with 2 handles sticking out the sentinel, the sentinel would be boarded up...
My explination of the boy is vage I guess.
Damn it I can't find pictures of what I mean. He sits on top an 2 iron poles sticking out the cabin he has to move the right one forward to move the leg forward... Its that classical way of moving a walker.... If you dont unterstand I'm sorry.
Maybe he has a mate hanging out the cabin Straight up blastin some fools

cheers

Ps I am going to do but you can take it if you want

Scourges, just like the artwork. End.

I would like to do a Tzeentch Hellcannon based on the old Eldar Prism Cannon. I have the prism cannon, I just don't know how to start.

I want to make either an Imperial Gothic or an Orky version of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, still trying to build up the plaster casting skills I'd need to make an attempt though.

Currently working on a looted Sentinel that an ork is controlling with an x-box controller. Just can get a good banner at the moment, not can I get a gretchen model to sit on the las-cannon's saddle properly.

A Scratch build warhound BUT, remote controlled. Stalled because I dont think modern tech has caught up enough for me to do it

I might do this, but if I get the money, I'm gonna try to make more inquisitorial-looking Grey Knights with Dark Angels veteran bodies, Deathwatch shoulder pads, and nemesis force weapon bitz. Also using some kind of head, maybe champion heads. On their left arm, cut off the Dark Angels combat shield and place two bolt pistols side by side.

an imperial battleship or aircraft carrier. it makes my mouth water

I may do this someday but feel free to try it if you like it. I had a crazy idea to do an ork vehicle based on a model t ford. The orks themselves would be dressed in top hats and tails and these would be a new clan of orks called the Toff orks. I think a 1920s/30s gangster look would fit in well with the bizarre ideas the orks come up with. The tyres of course would be white walled.

I just thought of a new idea today: Pneumatic drill bayonet. Here's a rough concept image

You start the drill, ram it into the enemy's armor/carapace and and activate the pneumatic pump which forces the drill deep into your enemy.

I thought it was a cool (IMHO) alternative to the chainsword bayonet.

If I build it, I'll probably just use a real drill bit, and add plasticard/plastic tubing for the pneumatics. I'd make the drill slightly longer than it is in the concept image.

My post here actually came true!





I've actually done a bit more work on it since this afternoon when I took those pictures.

A Squat Leviathan? (no too soon? ). Other than that a Pre-Heresy Storm-Bird (the early version of a THunderhawk) mentioned in all the HH series.
