A friend and I were playing warhams for the first time, using both my armies. We didnt play with objectives and we only had two meganobz, so we proxied a pile of guns, nades, clips, and landmines on a termy base as a maganob

I used this Timmy bobblehead as a Defiler once. He screamed TIMMAAAYYY as he reigned death from his wheelchair of DOOOOM!

Yes but perhaps just against a close mate, in any other circumstance I'm sure most people would ask if you were serious before calling for the men in white coats if you tried to field an army like that

I played Fantasy with mostly squares I printed off in the proper formation with dice as counters for how many extra guys were left. I had painted front ranks, but saw no damn point in building, painting and buying more guys just so they could die to fill out the ranks. No one ever complained, not that I cared about tourneys or anything.

Lol, seen some other people do that.

After seeing what Waaagh_Gonads posted, suddenly someone using two Gaunts Ghosts books as Raiders doesn't seem very outlandish.

What did he proxy?

Just go to page two and scroll down some. You'll see what I mean.

Played against an army made of paper.

I once saw in a thread some kid make a Hierophant Bio-titan out of tin-foil and use it in an Apoc battle.

I recently played a count-as-Necron army with my tyranids. Used genestealers as warriors, raveners as wraiths, ripper swarms as scarabs and my carnifexes as spyders. I was just trying out the new necrons to see how they play, but now it looks like I may have to build up an army myself.

So, Dark Eldar then

How were they proxied (just kidding..)

I once played against a unit of 100 spider riders back in 5th ed WHFB which were empty bases.

Well, you have to give the person credit for collecting 100 appropriately sized bases, that's about $100 bucks right there!

And the googly eyes aren't easy to stick on either

Isn't there an army built completely from sprues. I think I remember pictures in the gallery???

You mean the good old Sprue Necrons?

I don't know if that's being artistic or being cheap.

I hope he painted them.

Personally I find artistic value in that. Thanks for finding the picture Skits.

Hehe, no worries. Can't believe I didn't think to post it in here earlier. Then again, does that really count as proxying? I like to think the guy that made 'em is being artistically cheap. I dunno if he ever painted them though. I hope so too!

Best bit is, if they're made of GW sprues, they're technically Tournament Legal 'cause they're 100% GW parts.

I would be fine playing against him in a tourny (if painted). I think the army is laughably awesome.

They're tournament legal as an army built from Codex: Bits of Sprue. Anything else is relying on the TO having a sense of humour.

They're 100% Ardboyz legal though, as the req was at least 50% GW

They fit the second part, but not the first. And no amount of rules lawyering the tournament conversion rules is going to get you past a TO who decides that you're just trying to be obnoxious.


Just to be clear, I have no problem with these. I think they're awesome. But trying to pass them off as 'tournament legal' on account of being built from GW sprue is a stretch.

LOL! Who made the Necron Sprue army?

That's fine, wasn't trying to imply otherwise. We were told at both prelims and Semis that the only req was they had to be at least 50% GW. Note that's why I only brought up ArdBoyz, because normal tourneys run differently

So, it would still count, wouldn't it?

Yeah, that is not a fail.
That is a stroke of genius, my friends, and it is very clever.

Did you make those, Gonads? Epic win.

Im rather fond of using cigarette packs as proxy... Tanks, chariots, monsters, small units, its all good

Do your opponents allow that?

I saw a game where someone used Modular Movement Trays as an army.
