My sculpting skills are at best minimal and I applaud those with the talent and patience to make their own that way. The problem I encounter is this: my local game shop is very small and a family run business. They can't afford the license fees to sell Games Workshop products and even the license fee to sell Citadel paints is upwards to $1000. There are however Bones, Reaper, and Chronoscope figures available. There are other online stores and places that don't cost as much but it's a time consuming effort to piece purchase an army unit when even the used figures on eBay are either as expensive or few and far between. The idea I have is to buy select Pink Horror bits and customize a much more inexpensive base model using green stuff.

So any suggestions?

How about a load of coloured pom-pom balls as the bases?
Large pink ones, medium blue ones, and small yellow ones. Stick your arms, beaks, what have you into them with pins, all dandy like.

Lovely little fuzzy gubbinzes of death, eh?

If I could smooch you over the internet I would. You're suggestion gave me an idea to peruse Oriental Trading company for stuff like that for a lot cheaper than if I tried to find mini-figs that would work. You made me so happy I danced a little in my seat.
