just had an idea...

[daemion]

so if i was going to play 40k again- which im not this year- i have it sussed. 2dollar shop robots for my dreadknights and my son's barrel-o-monkeys for the jokaero. what do use in your gw games that are not gw minis???

[DevlanMiracle]

You might have a hard time finding people to play if you use those models 

[daemion]

no i wouldnt.

[Weasel-Fierce]

I'm all for alternate figs, but barrel of monkeys? Really? I'm sure there are plenty of humanoid ape figs out there from other companies.

Good call on the Dreadknights though.

[daemion]

it is the jokaero phase shifting tech to confuse the enemy. plus wen ido an entire army of them i can scream 'death by monkeys!' like on toy story.

Dude, if someone painted up the barrel of monkeys guys properly and maybe some conversions I would vote for a barrel of monkeys army for best painted. Thats a sick idea.

[daemion]

thats the whole point eh? of course i would paint them up and stuff. death by monkeys!... nxt year.

[Monkey King]

Mine aren't 40K, but....

I'm looking at getting a small dog figurine, then going to convert it up to be Cerberus for my TK army. Also going to make up some Tomb Guard out of War Gods models by crocodile games.

Got some ideas to use snakes and some daemonette figures to make some medusae as well, also going to splurge out and get the manticore from Bane beasts to use as a necrosphinx thing as well...

[daemion]

thats cool.

[Monkey King]

Yeah, I'm not too sure how many GW models I will be using as it is, but even then, I'll be trademe hunting and Ebay scouting for them, since they'll mostly be skellies I want, both TK and VC.

All the big models will be either scratch built or purchased from another supplier since GW don't do the models I want.
