I'm guessing the child was the prize they were gaming over. By now I'm sure the kid is conversion fodder. He will be missed, but his sacrifice was not in vain. Can't wait for the tervigons carpeted in real human skin.

Don't let any of it go to waste. Skins, bones, teeth, hair... everything must be used.
There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

I prefer to think the child has been taken on as a sort of dark apprentice, raised on NSFW conversions and proper use of the english language.
“Who is to judge what is right and what is wrong? Great and powerful foes surround us; unknown miscreants gnaw at us from within. We are threatened with total annihilation. In days such as these we can afford no luxury of morality.”
Oh son of a bitch... That's now the most requested conversion. Now I've got to go hunt him down and harvest his biomass for conversion stock. Also regular stock. I mean, if I'm going to fully utilize everything I'll have to boil down the tougher parts into a soup base.
Though the dark apprentice idea might also work.
This will take a while, since I again have no idea who he is and really only saw him out of the demo area of the store when I reviewed pictures. I may have to call on ancestral buffalo spirits of an ancient American Indian burial ground. Luckily the entire continental US counts as one of those.

So is it officially American Indians now? I was out of the country for a while and remember Native Americans, and Indians being politically incorrect. Now the Indian misconception has been accepted and embraced?

Actually, last I heard it was First Americans, but since DT's thread is all about carpet bombing polite sensibilities, I can understand why he chose that turn of phrase.
DT: The mob is clamoring once again. We demand more conversions!

I'm pretty sure they're all made in the UK. Do you have a source for your assumption?
“Yesss! Just as planned!”
–Spoken by Xi’aquan, Lord of Change, in its death throes
Ok, I'm back from another weekend hiatus. Today's modeling project involves some advanced techniques such as electronics, soldering, and removing proprietary tech from its hermetic sealing inside a sealed plastic figure.
Pic below is of a Headphonie, a portable speaker that I got at Best Buy for ten bucks. Its loud, has a long battery life, extremely portable, links in parallel with others of its kind, and the jack is in its ass. I'm not sure if they made this for my Tyranids specifically, but it sure seems that way.
I'm going to be cutting the speaker out of the toy, and rehousing it in one of my 60mm bases so that I can have a boombox fex. I'm playing with the idea of putting it inside a trygon so that I can parody Tremors 2. Most likely not, but I've got a lot of work to do. Cutting the speaker out of the sealed plastic was not an easy or fun job (I washed a whole ripper in the blood of the cut I got) and since they buried two of the speaker wires under melted plastic, I've got to strip down some copper wire from a cellphone charger and resolder it. I might even be able to tech you guys something about how to do this!
I knew that taking those electronics courses were good electives on my path to a Mechanical Engineering degree. Hooray for real world applications.
Not that I particularly CARE about being politically correct, but I don't really think Indians/American Indians/Native Americans/ First Americans/First People really give a buffalo chip about what their genociders call them. I'm sure that they would prefer to be called by the name of their tribe, as they were distinct separate groups of people, and any catchall term we use would be offensive. A person from Spain and a person from the Ukraine are both technically Europeans, but maybe that isn't the best way to categorize them to express who they are as a people.
http://www.allthingscherokee.com/articles_culture_events_070101.html " Many Indians continue to call themselves Indian or American Indian regardless of what the rest of America and the world calls them."
Oh. Theres an article, written by an Indian, that I found whilst fact checking to make myself look smarter. Seems they don't care what we call them.
Besides, get real. Like any of that nonsense matters even one iota. Do I make a fuss about wanting to be called "Caucasian American?".
I'm a person. You're a person. The most hated cultural enemy of your particular branch of human existence is a person.
Slicing that any thinner denigrates all of us, as people. No more talk of being PC, it bores me. Mac, either, for that matter.

Ok, so I've run into some complications with the electronics aspect, because I want to put a film over the speaker cone so I can put some cornstarch, water, and green dye in there to make a non neutonian fluid that wiggles and is nasty. Going to be a little longer while I work out some kinks in that area, transferring the extra kink into the Ymgarls.
In the meantime, I think this is the pose I'm going to use for the Boomboxfex. Two classic beatboy poses in one!
The ipod sits really nicely in a groove where the carapace meets the head and leans back against the talons.
I'm going to GS some headphones on him as well, but so far so good.
Also, some more themed music. In this case, a Boombox IS a toy!

good luck on the speaker job man... Love this thread always makes me giggle at work.. Which is awequard because then the nurses want to know what I'm giggling about and I fear they may just send me to the acute ward for sectioning under the mental health act one day.
Well, thanks to you and Doomthumbs here, I now know what I'm doing with my landraider when i finally get it, to go with the Night Lords doors i got from FW. Won't that be fun, trundling up the board blasting Nightmare or somesuch appropriate Night Lords music.
Speaking of which, what is your Boombox Fex going to be blasting, Doom?

This, among others. Just about perfect. Nice booming bass, and phrases like "Serve the hive" and "I control the way you move".
Also, the "We've got a lot of static" is all funky in that recording, and could very well be saying "Send down a mycetic"
Pic update of the stage I'm building for the Boomfex. Yeah, thats right. Boomfex. I'm taking it back!

If I may make a suggestion Doomykins, what I intend to do with my LandRaider (which will be receiving this same treatment) is making a playlist on my ipod specifically for this purpose. Fill it with some appropriately fluffy music or somesuch, but the 7th or 8th song on the playlist will be something truly terrifying to anyone at my LGS, like, Justin Beiber, or Rebecca Black's Friday.
Just imagine it Doom, on your carnifex. after 40 or so minutes into the game and they say 'Okay man, your carnifex is cool and all but could you turn it off alr- wait, what's it playing now? DEAR GOD, SHUT IT OFF, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS-'
And then you can look at them, and say, 'kill it and it will stop.' AKA Stop shooting at my goatsegon, or the tentaclerape venomthrope, and instead take shots at this otherwise not so high priority carnifex
I believe that target priority based on vulgarity was one of your ideas stated earlier in the thread, and I fully intend to do this with my LR to take potshots off something I don't like, and they turn all of their Heavy Weapons to turn off the infernal racket coming from my nigh impossible to kill LandRaider
I don't see why this wouldn't work with a Boomfex...

Yes, but then I would have to download songs like that, dirtying my computer and giving them yet another hit on their subpar music.
I like the idea though, but I'm going to take it in the direction that the Radio Free Zerg song goes in.
More of a "Yeah, I'm here and promoting my army and theres nothing you can do about it at all."
If I can suggest something for your landraider? Make it slightly chaosy, like a slaanesh noiseraider.
I'm also working on taking record your own greeting cards and using those under my MC bases. They have a light trigger, and are about as flat as I could ask for. With the light sensor, it will sound off every time the base is picked up off of the table. With these I'm going to go for more of a Jurassic Park T-Rex roar.

Ok, the scratchbuild speakerbox/ stage for the boomboxfex is pretty much done.
I've used greenstuff tentacles to cover up most of my shoddy workmanship.
Why tentacles? Because its my favorite flavor of soda.

How irresponsible of me not to post one where he's holding the boombox.
I'm going to be redoing a lot of the electronic components of this build because I want to add bluetooth connectivity.
Long story short, I paid about $5 for this old carnifex on ebay, and I'm going to put about $350 worth of tech into this model.
Mmm, thats some good consumer whorin'!
