I loled. But I left out details and pics for a reason.
Namely, I play at GW stores, and I do not relish the look on the blackshirt's face if I suddenly have apoc level forces for all armies. He would be sad, I would feel bad.
I like the GW figs and personally have no problem shelling out the cash for new figs as necessary.
My lady thinks otherwise on all counts.

Time for another request, this one sent in by PM.

I'm open to pretty much anything if I've got the parts on hand. Bits box is somewhat dwindling, but creativity going strong.
Terminator armor is nonexistant in my bits box, but I can slap some Nid bits together and see what happens.
Pre heresy? No can do. Post genestealer ovipositor? CAN do!
Presenting Genestealer Abbadon!

I just looked through every page of this thread and have only two things to say. One haters gona hate but should STFU cause no wants to hear you b%#%* about something that was better than yours and two this man is a god of scuplting and painting.

This is amazing work! Now all that's left is a diorama involving 10 SOB's and a few dozen rippers.....

^I'm not sure I follow?

OMG......... you have sick mind my good sir. (not doomthumbs the guy above him from this post)

Oh. You're wanting me to depict Feastiality?

(Heh... feastiality. I'm saving that one for later)

This marine has a choice to make, like we all do:

Do we listen to the angel on the left shoulder, pleading for peace, or do we blow up the whole damn planet like the angel on the right wants?

Wow, loving the abaddon model. never been a fan of him, but that's a sick bitzbash.
Laughed at the marine. Where'd you get the 'good' angel bit, if you remember?

Either a dark angel or blood angel vehicle sprue... I think.
It originally had a sword, but I cut that off leaving just the clasped hands. The halo is a brass cog from the basing kit with all but one tooth clipped off.

I like the Abaddon pictures. I didn't figure he would be a popular choice, but mixing Tyranids and Abaddon? That's great.

That marine with the angels is priceless. It goes without saying that the metal pieces you cast are excellent. 40k was in desperate need of some male nudity.

Back on topic, those sculptures you made are really well made!

You guys are sick O.o why would you do this stuff. DoomThumbs your actually a talented model designer but your wasting it on stuff like this -.-

I do it for fun, mostly. I feel that time spent entertaining myself is never wasted. Time spent entertaining myself AND others? Golden.
I also enjoy lateral thinking excercises, and bringing humanity to Tyranids is about as sideways as you can get in the 40k universe.
Also a huge fan of having things that no one else does. Unique models are unique. Sure, you've got a kitbash hiveguard. But a gangsta hive guard?
I also enjoy doing stuff for other people. Requests are the most tangible aspect of that in this thread.

Oh, speaking of requests, I need ideas of things to turn old genestealers into. Personality types.
I'm working on a genestealer office drone and a rasta stealer, but I'm sure there are some great ideas out there.

Well I quess the more recent stuff has dulled down a bit which, is probably for the best.
All your statements are true and I guess if you enjoy it I should have just shut up and I agree that having a unique army is the whole point of conversions.
I also like converting models myself but not as well as you :S

If you don't hate me already I'd just want to apologize and possibly suggest an emo genestealer?

Anyway, Sorry for the comment before,
SoK

Oh no need, and please don't take my comment as harsh.
See, your comment also included a clear compliment.
Emo stealer, huh? I think I can swing that.

ok thank you ^.^ and I guess my earlier comment ended up like a compliment sandwich, but the only good bit was the middles :S

Sorry again,
SoK

I was actually more offended at the usage of "your" instead of "you're" than I was at the suggestion of wasted time.

So, emo stealer. Hair in the eyes, maybe slit wrists, what else?

oh ok sorry about the poor grammer :S

Emo stealer: I was thinking hair over one eye, possibly peirceings if you go into that much detail, baggy jeans with chain, eye shadow and (if you want to add it) a knife cutting his own wrist.

The emo 'scene' generally wears tighter fitting jeans.

Good God. More Tyranids poking things with their dang-dang's please.

Doomthumbs wrote:So, emo stealer. Hair in the eyes, maybe slit wrists, what else?

Standard black composition notebook that contains pages and pages of scrawled attempts at poetry?
Hot Topic employee name badge?
Eyeliner, which is (in this case) gender-neutral?

If you opt to have the emo-nid smoking it needs to hold it's cigarette 'wrongly'. Can't get more specific than that.

Pothead stealer - take the legs and make him sitting crosslegged, should be easy enough with how they are already angled

Ravestealer - give him some weird aparrel, have him jumping with a hand in the air, maybe look like he is headbanging

Philosostealer - The thinker?

Trollface stealer - Give him Sharkvictim's face. (I laughed out loud, nice work bro)

Hipsterstealer - Not sure how I would do this one

Just some suggestions

Emo stealer is just waiting on the GS clove cig to cure, pics tonight. He's got emo hair, skin tight GS pants( harder than it sounds), cutting his wrist, a notebook and nametag.

Hipster stealer might be next, box frame glasses and a Starbucks cup.

Looking forward to seeing the entire brood!
(Dakka Stealer? However you wanna make him, doomy, I think you can say better than me, what with our postcounts.)

Glow sticks. Neon.

Edit: While we're working with archetypes, how about a genestealer businessman. Suit, tie, briefcase. Hell, make him a Wall Street executive if you want, seems somehow fitting.

How about a 'Haters gonna hate' gene stealer? I think it would fit here quite well.
