These guys would have to look something like a cross between a dub-step show and tokyo drift in a fire fight. just lasers everywhere and hammerheads drifting around and anime chicks doing whatever they do. Pretty sweet army, are you incorporating Gundam bits in or not?

While I personally don't care for the Chibi head effect, there is no failure in your effort and I'd be glad to play against someone that puts that much effort into making an army truly unique.

awesome job, really love what you've done with this army. it's really refreshing to see more fun armies out there ^.^

I found them on ebay. There's a lot of different ones out there as you know, but if you are trying to use them for 40k. That size is a lot harder to get. Even the petite nendoroids are sometimes too big.

If I can figure out how to put a barrier jacket on a broadside and have it still look good. haha

Thanks!... I didn't do anything really different from the first ones, just came out cleaner with all the practice. And I can't touch Miku and the gang, they got their own mojo going on once they hit the board, my gaming buddies will attest to this.

Hahahaha! More like EDM mixed with Vocaloid. And the lasers, and the girls. -I'll actually play that stuff when playing a game, if the guys allow it. If you ever watched Robotech and when the Zentradi first came into contact with Battle Music... yeah, it's like that. Actually, no Gundam bits, I try to keep it GW or FW, otherwise scratch build it if possible.
More stuff on the way!

I hate anime, but this is absolutely just phenomenal. You have amazing clean painting skills, love the colors. Even though it is silly it is so well executed. I want to see a batrep of your anime army versus a Helo kitty army. There's got to be one out there done to his extreme.

Spoiler:
Why doesn't Homura have a rail rifle, or the biggest gun you can give her? And guess I gotta get started on the Walpurgisnacht Daemon Prince...
Thanks!
Originally I was thinking of giving her that, or a rocket launcher, or a burst cannon. Because, that's totally her. But I needed her on Markerlight duty.

Then there is the Karmans from AT-43 battle report. My gaming buddy did a 40k codex for the Karmans, it's on the conservative side, and they still play scary strong in 40k rules. We left the codex up for anyone who wants to try them out.

and now i am totally going to make EVERY single new thing i get resemble something from an anime.... should i post my fuchikoma crisis suits here?.....
Okay, so I'm just gonna say...you have some good painting/modeling skills for sure.
However...for me, this (in terms of the chibi doll heads...your battlesuits are great...just too brightly-colored for my taste) ranks right up there with Tron Tau in terms of my dislike of what people do with Tau. I love my Tau, don't get me wrong, but there is just a line that I draw with my painting/modeling. I know I'll get flamed for saying it, but it's things like this and the MLP garbage that give our already nerdy hobby even more ridicule.
But, that's my honest personal opinion, and if you like what you're doing, don't let my opinion, or anybody else's for that matter, stop you. Like I said, you have skills, and I'm won't knock that fact, but this is so far from my cup of tea that I can't stand it.
My only other criticism is something gameplay related, but those heads are a pretty distinct disadvantage for you in terms of trying to gain cover.

No offense taken, it's part of the deal when I decided on how far to take this army. And yes, my local gaming community has some rather colorful armies, including a MLP, Rainbow Brite (I think that's what it is, or it could be Care Bears) and a GI Joe Cobra army.
Now, as far as gameplay, I've had no problems with them. And besides, I don't play in the tournaments, just for fun. So it's cool.
