I've built a custom soul grinder and was hoping to field it in tournaments but I'm worried about size. He's about 5 inches tall and 5 inches long, can anybody tell me the dimensions of a regular soul grinder or if he's close? And how you you guys feel about proxies in tournaments?

That size is about right, although it is about 6" wide.
As long as it looks like a cool Daemon cyborg, I do not think you will have any issues.

throw a pic up with a marine or rhino as comparison

Dude, you're solid. No one will question that that is a 'Grinder. Give it a bit more 'fleshy' bits if you really don't think it look different enough from a Defiler

That is fine. You are using most of the parts anyway.

I'd dig that. Cool conversion, by the way. Active stance, as has been said, most parts are defiler parts anyways.

I actually like your model better than the current Soulgrinder.

Ive been considering turning a (regularly available on ebay) Defiler as a Nurgle Plague Hulk for some time now.

Conversions have always been 100% encouraged by me. So much moreso than Proxying every game to make up for powerbuilds.

Yeah anyone who refuses that is a donkey cave, it looks sick and is obviously a soul grinder.

Good to know I have dakkas full support! Thanks for the compliments and clearing away any doubt.
