That would get annoying pretty fast

I've faced an Ork 40k army and had a Kult of Speed represented by those (the same army featured un-armed orks, and by that I mean orks with actually no arms, not no weapons)

Empty Flying bases= Wave Serpents
Small Empty Flying bases = Jet Bikes
Ork Deff coptas = Fire Prisms
Black painted flying base = Falcon

The joke was that the eldar were using new technology that made them invisible

And also were trying to disguise the fire prism as not as scary deff coptas

It was a scary army of bases (i won too lol)

Ork Deffcoptas to Wave Serpents? May I ask why the guy did this?

didnt have the models yet

lol. I mean, Eldar could do that, though...

Mr PotatoHead used as an ork Stompa, and a stack of solo cups used as a Monolith.

Your forgetting, there is no such thing as an ork proxy. Is a looted potato!

DP = Both daemon prince and another meaning.. Sadly gamers tend to think 'Daemon Prince' when this abbreviation comes up

This proxy covered them both, and was the only thing he could find with the right 'base size' ...

My mind still feels a bit raw from the vigourous scrubbing it received in the aftermath of that game.

I can plead inebriation as an excuse for temporary insanity, right?

sorry but i have to ask....is it an article of the contraceptive nature?

can you please just say?

PM me if you must

You have got to love the Dreadknight!

Spruecrons win the lazy wargamer contest.

Used a chocolate orange tin as a predator and funnily enough it performed like a chocolate orange tin and killed nothing

That is epically awesome...and actually some pretty good work too.

Sprue necrons are pretty good considering...

I have seen some amazing tater stomPas.

That seems like a pretty good way of representing scarabs actually.

Fear the bricks. they is coming for you!

I actually considered making a Sprue army. Does anyone know who made that army?

Actually, it has a potential:

That is actually the coolest orkmodel I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing the link.

Our strangest proxy probably were those roundabout 450 choclate dimes (caramel choclate wrapped in foil about the size of a base) that stood in as Genestealers in the big 20000 pts. game we did back in 2nd edition 40k when we were young. ^^
Tasty casualties for sure.

That is one mean lookin' Stompa!

Probably using books as a sentinal.

Paperback, or Hardcover?

My friend tried to use his pet turtle as a Squiggoth in one game

Only thing I can think of are the common bottle drop pods and a couple of paperback books as land raiders( they kept being forgotten about and spent a couple of turns sitting in the middle of the field before the player remembered about them!)

I have seen some sprue'nids on Dakka before, can't find pics though...

Empty bases as Stealth Suits.

I know, right? Who in their right mind uses Stealth Suits?

First 40k game against drop pods I ever played the guy was using soda cans (one of which he was still drinking out of), middle of the game his girlfriend comes in takes a swig and walks away with the can. We did not notice until the end of the game.

Oh I've done that. I'm one of two 40k players in the world that doesn't play Space Marines, so I have no Drop Pods. I use Soda Cans as a Spore Pod often assuring my opponent that GW will eventually release a model. I oftentimes forget that the Spore Pod is even on the table and forget the *mandatory* shooting it has.

I have, since gotten to making makeshift tentacles out of excess greenstuff I have from modeling in hopes that I can stick them on a soda can until GW finally releases a Spore Pod in 2017.

Strangest Substitution I've ever seen from other people is several Space Wolves Space Marines consisting of Warmachine models. Their excuse? GW models are too expensive. Wut.

I have seen many odd ones. The two that come to mind was during an apoc game for one of the apoc daemons they used a giant spawn statue and the other was a game aginst a de plaer using baoxes of staples as ravagers lol

I've had to do some odd proxying in my gaming days.

When I arrived for an Apocalypse game, and realized I had to fill 1500 more points, my SW drop pods got double duty as Raiders, and Thunderwolves became flying, furry, laser-barking Ravagers. :p

Also in the same game, Terminators as Grotesques.
