so at my club im known as that guy that scratch builds and converts.................alot. what can i say i love being unique. Anyway i aws challenged to make a army for as cheap as possible, aka without buying anything and using things from around the house. seeing as id always wanted to do this, i am going to be building a mechanical bug army, inspired by the film 9 along with many other influences, the matrix etcetera.and intent do build this whole army as a army of inorganic sentient beings.

tervigons- carnifex sized builder bugs, imagine beatles without armour so lots of exposed wires and a orb core that powers them. 4 legs and a few claws and building arms.

shrikes- gonna be mechanical, biped walkers with mechanical wings, very skeletal appearance

zoanthropes- floating controll towers with a slew of wires that hang like tenticles, mebe a gun on them...not sure

hive guard- 4 legged walking gun platforms

parasite-?????????

hive tyrant- a big mech, mebe with a human controller as the armys overlord controlling them with a psychic link.

gaunts, small arms technology (bolters, lasguns etcetera) fitted with legs and wired up to make small robots



those are my ideas for now, ill post up pics soon.

I'll be interested to see how this turns out- are you going to keep nid rules?

I have visions of the movie "virus" which is kindling my imagination. Consider me subscribed.

i will be using nid rules........im in love with the parasite

what is this movie virus? any way i can incorporate this into the parasite.
