When it comes to your miniatures, do you like to have a laugh with some of them? I once made a radical Malleus Inquisitor and called him Inquisitor Faustus. And with my IG, I've got a shotgun vet modelled to make it look like he can't handle the recoil from the shotgun.

What funny things do you do, if any?

Undividided chaos is the best flavour of heresy, right next to chocolate-chip Changeling and caramel Khorne.

At my FLGS a guy painted all of his dark eldar raiders with pedo bears.

And the other Tau player paints hello kitty characters on his devil fish to increase their surviveability. And it seems to work.

Guy deployed his LRC behind a wall to hide it from my broadsides, then tried to drive through it and rolled a one.

I've had models cowering under a dead storm raven to save them from the above players GKs. And I tankshocked an objective and had my LRBT deystroted on top of it, on a hill so the objective was litteraly underneith.

one of my eldar jet bike riders whom I count as a warlock or farseer as the mood fits is a yoda miniature.

There's the 'not in the face Marine' with the missle launcher hand on a plasma rifle wielder. That's always good for a chuckle.

I made that model, always great for a chuckle.

He's in my SM command plasma squad of doom.

They're even better if you paint them slightly singed.

This makes me realise just how rarely it is I do stuff like this...
I guess there's my rhinos. If I take dozer blades they never need to use them, if they don't they fail and become immobilsed by turn 3...

Tragically, Dakka lost one of its best humorous modelers. Lots of good stuff here. I like his 'traitor' model that he used for 'Ard Boyz 2011 best.

I did the "not in the face model" except I added a shield in front of his face. Then I also have a marine with the pf from the chaos term lord with the hand slightly turned so he is giving the enemy the finger. Then in my IG army one platoon commander has a red jacket while the other commander has brown pants. Then I have an IG special weapons squad member who is doing the disco.

I don't have a picture but when I was collecting high elves I once lost the torso from one of the spearmen. So how do I make a new torso for him? The answer was: I put him together without a torso!
So I glued the head to the legs, then the arms to either side of the gap between the head and legs. Then I posed the guys who ranked up on either side of him to be looking at him.
In terms of fluff, I figured that my warboss forbids infighting between his 5 most trusted nobs (my first orks ever). I modeled two with hideous scars and realized that it looked like the weapon of the other nob had given the scar. So I figure these two nobs hate and are always trying to indirectly kill each other during the heat of combat. One day, one of them will succeed.

I'm model my VSS's as My Little Pony Characters.

I use a St. Celestine model as a counts as Princess Celestia...complete with craft glitter in her hair!!!

That reminds me I need to paint Rainbow Dash (Seraphim VSS of course)

I've got an IG commander I made with the staff and the pointing arm. He looks like he's holding a pimp cane and doing the pimp walk. Helps that it's the head with the shades and that smug smile. Might have to edit in a pic of him. Haven't painted him yet, but when I do, he's going to get the most rediculous pimp purple paint I can find.

He is Commander Pimpin Da Most, and you will fear him.

My buddy is painting up his Incubi squad to look like the different Power Rangers.

There is also Fluffy, the Chaos GK.

I, of course, have the obligatory plasma marine.

Aside from that, I made my own Vindicare Assassin from scratch with cardboard. My brotherhood banner says "Lolcatz", I am going to paint up Justicar Thawn in a scottish scheme complete with clan patterns and Braveheart make-up, but that's in the future.

I also made a gentleman Sir Sly Marbo with a matching Murderous Luggage to do the killing for him, for a give-away on my blog.

I think that is it, not too much when I think about it like this, I've got to make things sillier in the future.

What happened to him? Edit: Nevermind, I found out

Just been reading his blog you linked - gave me a good laugh! Appeals to my childish sense of humour.

This is pure gold:

...lovingly teasing the paint and washes into the naughty recesses.

Only if you think comedy=porn

Anyway, here some classic examples:

I converted a friend's Long fang with ML to be making a 'left a bit..come on....' gesture witht he ML hand.

The guy ALWAYS misses


I probably have some other fun stuff in my Orks army.

I built the "Guy w/ the Plasma weapon" once...it didn't turn out well...

I also built the Team Fortress 2's Sniper and Medic classes as Orks...the Sniper turned out very well...I'll post a pic eventually.

Im making a model like this:

I dare you to!

I don't know if it's funny, but my Ork bikers always seem to get a laugh. I got a box of Boyz as a Christmas present and thought "Feth it, I'm making bikers out of these." So I bought a bunch of different bike units from different armies and modeled Orks onto them instead of their normal riders. My personal favorite is an Ork torso glued onto a Necron Destroyer body, with a Grot riding his back.

Other than that, my Long Fangs are all using different missile launchers. I have two guys using Deathwind Missile Launchers from two Drop Pod kits, I've got a couple guys using wrist-mounted missile launchers of various flavors, and one guy who's standing on the body of an Ork, holding a rokkit launcha.

Back during 3rd edition, when I was still more than a little weird - and quite sick, as it turned out - I had a power armored Librarian I liked to use.

I forget who started it and why, but soon that Librarian became known as "Conan the Librarian." I had never seen the movies, but I had heard the name "Conan the Barbarian," and thought it was funny enough that I ended up gluing a High Elf Silver Helm leader-guy face feather-crest thingy to him, painted it up in blue, red, and white, and painted "Conan" onto his base.

Of course, in an off-topic story, I also had a Dark Angels force with a Land Raider. It was originally DA Green with sloppy - my hands are significantly unsteady and unsure when it comes to detail work like that, even when resting the wrists on a table, and resting elbows on a table and having my hands together makes it impossible to get the model to an angle I like working at and just feels wrong in its entirety, and working slowly enough to make them steady means either working so slow the paint is dry on the brush by the time I get the brush to, say, the eyes, or having a brush so heavily loaded with paint it ruins the detail anyways, but more so because my hands tend to jerk just as they get the brush to the model, and eventually I just said, "Feth it, I'm not painting eyes. Period." so I always have to clean up my models before I can call them finished, and even then, I know that a Golden Daemon is WAAAAAAAY beyond any possibility of hoping to be reaching for to grasp for me.

Where was I? Oh yeah, the Land Raider was Dark Angels Green with sloppy Goblin Green edge highlighting all over, but I decided it would look niftier if the recessed panels were Regal Blue and Ice Blue, respectively. So I painted it like that. I also decided it would be cool to have a crew member popped out of the hatch on top, wielding a boltgun. So I did that - though I may have done that at the assembly stage, I don't really remember. It got a comment the first night I brought it to the place where I gamed back then, but someone stood up for me and said something I have never forgotten, "If he thinks it looks cool, leave him alone."

My own. Someday, I'll have another good idea.

I didn't make it myself but I have seen a rhino modeled for Plaguemarines with a bumper sticker saying "does this look infected?"

I have a guardsman tripping over a rock, does that count?

I registered for a tournament and we need to make one objective figurine with the theme "The Messenger"...

So I made a UPS marine...with code bar reader, package, power fist to knock on the door and pointy finger to ring the doorbell, stuck as many purity seals and paper on him as I could.

Should be finished this weekend.

Um, I sometimes wonder what my models do when im not looking, like toy story kinda.
But I did make a Fantasy rider riding a pony into battle. you can see it in my gallery.
