The Boomfex's open mouth evokes a James Brown, "Aaaaooooh!" ... hmm, I dunno how to put that as an onomatopoeia. But it's a short yelp, close to, "Yeah!"

Thanks. I love that model because it's the only Tyranid with two mouths. There's another set of teeth in there!

Great read, from the Gaunt Orgies, to Captain Clarify quoting the bible, to Boom-Fex... I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more.
Maybe you could make some break dancing gaunts/genestealers with their genitals whipping/flopping around as they dance/spin on their backs.
Also, are you considering a nice/easy way to clean your goo pool when it's not in use? EDIT: Oops, I forgot to refresh before I posted.. I guess I wasn't the only one considering that.
The turtle creature really is quite genius though! I may put some on some of my models. Simple and quite believable!

Check out myProject (B)log! I would love any suggestion or comments you may have.
So, Doom, I have a question (a challenge?) for you. I recently spent some time converting some Sternguard Vets to have the combi-flamers and combi-meltas I needed, which involved the use of pieces of a few ball-point pens. (The kind with clicky tops.) Afterwards, I find myself with several of those little springs from inside the pens, and am wondering what to do with them. Their size makes me think that there could be some kind of use for them in an ambitious modeling project. So, what do you suggest? Anything cool you can think of to do with the springs?
Also, perhaps some kind of demonic figure might be a good way to mark your six hundred and sixty-sixth reply to this thread. Way to go!

I converted another AOBR Marine, only this time I didn't have him killed.
I gave him: DA biker legs, an Empire feathered hat, Chaos symbol bling/chains, Termnator shoulder pad codpiece, and skull tip cane.
I sculpted a cape out of greenstuff and melded it with the robes on the legs.
Oh, and also a thong with a heart on the crotch.
Pimpin'!

Mixed with guitar string, that would make nice necron guts.
Bobblehead servo skulls is also an option, as well as spring boots instead of jetpacks.
Or, if you want to model some playground equipment, you could have a spring based hobby horse.
Where are you getting the metrics for my post count, if at all? I'd be interested to see that myself!

You mean how did I know how many replies your thread had? If you look at it in the P&M Blog thread list (or the Painting and Modeling thread list when I posted that) it shows you how many replies your thread has as well as how many views it has. It always frustrates me when I ask a question and see 40 some odd views and 0 replies. This seems too easy...
Did I answer the right question? Or where you asking something different? I feel like the short bus kid in school who isn't smart enough to know when he's being made fun of and so starts to assume every question is a lead up to him being called a slow.
And, on a side note, the pimp marine looks great. I mentioned something in a similar vein to a friend years ago. Once again, great job. This guy should find a good home with some kind of Slaaneshi force. I particularly like the chain.
I for some reason thought you meant my views of the page, not total comments. I will do the demon idea as penance. At the same time I completely spaced on looking at that info to come to that realization.
I need to get some daemonettes, but dirty conversions with those just seem in poor taste. Dirtying a marine is a challenge, dirtying slaanesh is ... Slow clap material.

Love your pimpmarine and your sexual aliens (If anyone doubts that aliens are meant to be a bit sexual they should look up the work of H. Giger the artist behind the original aliens film.)
I think if you are tired of laughing at anatomy then you are tired of life. And to those who tell you to grow up; I always found that growing up involved an increased interest in sex!
I have a desperate urge to do some sexual conversions of my own - beastmen maybe?

Been working on this for a while, super secret like. Making my own sculpts based on Greek mythology, and then casting them in metal using lost wax method.
The tallest is about a centimeter taller than a space marine, but I'm aiming for a Special char/God, so I figure a larger than life stature is appropriate.
Below, from left to right, I've got an Apollo, Dionysus, and Icarus.
Going to cast a whole bunch of these and use them as counts as Blood Angels, with the Icarus fig being jump pack marines.
Let me know what you think of them so far.

I cheated a little bit, using zbrush and time on the rapid prototyper at my buddies machine shop.
But yeah, everything else is mine. The cast detail isn't all that great, and the faces are pretty bad, but they turned out ok.

Never cease to impress, doom. I mean, Gamesworkshop was getting this kind of quality out for the first ten years of it's existence and that was with all the commercial help and backup of the entire company. you did this on your own, so I applaud you.
What are Dionysus and Apollo going to be?
Ave Dominus Nox.
Night Lords, Host of the Tumultuous Storm.
Apollo is the sanguinor, and dio will be a sergeant. Icarus is same height as a marine.
It's an expensive and time consuming process, and I'm sure there's an easier way, but I have to break the mold out every time. Except for the Icarus one, where I've gone the extra mile to make a good two part mold, again with the help of a 3G printer.

@lindsay Yeah, though I hear the voice of Ben Parker every time I want to reproduce a gw sprue. Or even a part I made mashing GW bits together.
Access to high tech, bordering on magic? Check.
Wifey's permission to invest (waste) money on boxes and boxes of gw figs when I do just fine with what I have? Negative.
I'm jealous of your painting skill. I had to spend all day today painting eyes and teeth. Feathering carapace? Forget about it.

It's kinda sorta a thin line; duplicating to an extent isn't (IMHO) bad, per-say. If you get to copying piece after piece till you've reached army status that's a horse of a different color and copying pieces and selling them is a big, big, big no no. I believe GW hangs and quarters people for that... or forces you to write only positive reviews of fine cast and Matt Ward... >_<

1750 points of Imperial Guard 
500 points of Biel Tan Mech-dar

I guess I wasn't the only one considering that.
