One of the Ushabti models from Fantasy has a jackal head, if you used that and gave them bows they would look pretty authentic. I love the army idea btw... Aku ftw!

That was my original plan actually. I would buy the Ushabti with jackal heads and then modify the arms to hold my own greens stuff weaponry.... ALAS

DAMN YOU 8TH EDITION FANTASY!

Apparently there's to be a Samurai Jack movie.

What about 8th edition? Do they not sell the Ushabti models anymore or something?

no. I am starting a VC army for the new release of 8th edition. Up to 2000 points worth! Then back to making more for my 40k army!

Finnaly, after a couple months my Vampire Counts Army is done.

Thus I shall return to Samurai Jack Nids before I move to Baltimore.

WATCH OUT BATTLE BUNKER! AKU HAS RETURNED!

Also, I have chosen a model to use for Samurai Jack himself, as an option if my opponents want to replace a model with him.

It fits the character nicely and works with the idea of Samurai Jack being transported to 40k universe.

sigh... there is always something...

the model I chose is acutally huge!

its 54mm on a 40mm base. about the same height and base as aku.... which is a no can do

**Generalian**

I have also decided that after my nids are up to 2000 points, I will make Chaos Daemons to represent the Lantern Corps from DC Comics.
Of course the bases will be inter changeable.

For those who have lost all hope... do not worry, cause this is army is far from over.

The main reason why I have not updated this is due to my great interest in fantasy, but I still play 40k.

Since my last post I have made more models and switched which models are which tyranid unit. Thus, massive updates will be made and pictures will be posted in the following weeks.

More importantly I am now working on tervigons which I will reveal more information on later.

For those who wanted to see a Samurai Jack model... I will save that later since I am thinking of using a dark eldar mandrake instead... the Inquisitor model is just too big

So check back later and you just might find a new surprise!

BTW Springfield's Games Workshop is having its birthday on the 16th. I will be there and if you mention this thread or post in anyway, you will get a sticker specifically for your army that you can proudly display. See you there!

Just a quick update from Springfield Plaza's birthday event.

Samurai Jack Nids did awesome and even held back an entire battlion of grey knights and blood angels! Will post pictures soon... computer is being moody.

In terms of the army... the bizzare Bazaar happened at lets just say I got 30 more genestealers and 16 gaunts for the price of around $20. Which means once I finally get my bits orders from 13 different eBay sellers the tervigons will be ready to construct and I will be able to finally post a battle report.

Please comment below as to which army you would like to see me play first. Smurfs? BA? DE? Your choice!

It's a great Idea I loved that show back in the day.
