Haha they look cute! Very cool idea... would love to see a tutorial on how to make them...

Those nids are awesome... Must resist urge to create entire army of them...

These are the awesomest, most uber-cuddliest warhammer guys in the entire universe. All that's missing is an entire army of them.

Very cute. I'd like to see chibi orks, but that's probably just me.

Those chibi tyranids are ADORABLE.

Chibi Nids FTW!!!

Those Marines be gettin mad cover saves.

Okay, here is a chibi dread



a chibi tank (not too happy with the look of this one)



and another version of the zoanthrope (6 limbs)

Whaaaaaaaa I love it such a great idea

**Brushfire pulls at his face and screams with delight***

O man o man o man! Those are so deadly cute!

Wait, I though this was a thread for Chibi Marines...



This looks just like a regular Storm Talon.

Just wondering could we maybe have some size comparisons to actual things like space marines?

Aww, the chibi nids look so cute

I like it. Chibi ork +!1, not for the cuteness, but just to see how weird it would look...

I'm pretty happy with the chibinids, but the marines still don't quite do it for me
I've got a mk2 and mk3 version of the marine shown here, but I'm still not sold.
Any suggestions?





P.S. I'll have the basic chibinids up on shapeways soon (already have a prototype in the mail). Anyone who is interested should then be able to download the stl file for free, and/or print them directly from shapeways for about 3-4 dollars each (at standard resolution).

And they shall know fear...for they are goddamn CUTE

THEY'RE SOOO SO CUTE D:

Omg make more right now haha xxx

So...you're casting these and selling them when....

Well, actually I was planning on either
1. selling them "at cost" (i.e., as cheap as resin+shipping, which is very cheap)
or
2. making them freely available (which is much less hassle for me).

Here's a draft of the the chibinid "chibigon"

I'll have working printable sculpts of the chibinids up soon.

I was wondering what people preferred regarding the marines. Which ones should I develop first?

- Adi.

It's the cutenids!

needs an Unyuufex

Absolutely fantastic. I LOVE the 'Nids. Keep it up!

The Marines will purge the Emperors enemies……with cuteness.

by the way... those nids and that tank happen to remind me of something... do you happen to hang around newgrounds.com a bit?

Do some chibi orks or a dreadnought! The space ship is awesome.

Here is the 3d printed version (frosted ultra detail), available at

As you can see, the 3d print isn't perfectly flat, but the detail is sufficiently crisp that after a light primer the paintjob turns out relatively clean.

I printed this one out a little bit smaller than the expected final size, just to make sure that the level of detail would be sufficient.

Wan't these so badly!

What I would really love to see, is taking the host horrendously evil and disgusting thing in 40k, and try and make it chibicute.

Dark eldar monstrosity, perhaps? Or a Bloodthirster!

What do you think of this sketch?

I'll have a 3d printout painted up relatively soon.

I'm so happy you have kept this going!
The Dred is so cool! and all the other additions.


For the Space Marine earlier I pefer the one without the helmet. The helmet is too bulky and seems squarish to me. Maybe try to do a beaky head? that might work better I feel like.

The drawings are great, Tau would be perfect at this scale!

Thanks guys!
I'd love to field these guys in a game, but I don't get a chance to play very often. Maybe something like space hulk?

A chibi dread would be awesome! I'm now wondering what a super deformed dread would look like... Even smaller legs?

No legs at all, just hips and feet... Ever closer to the waddling refrigerator.

Great job on these!
