I would also still appreciate some danger.



I thought it was funny that the giant spider's naturally-evolved angler fish lure is a titty torso.

No the spider jams a hand into people and puppets the corpse around as a lure. I mean that's a bit :stare: but "Weird hand-spider" is a cool surreal horror thing. Just we had to have tits because of course.

Titty lure aside, that thing is a very creative and well executed model, too bad its probably gonna snap in a million places at the first sign on trauma, plastic or not. It just doesn't look very practical as a gaming piece.

Yeah, that too. For a monster reference though it's great. Honestly KD's monsters are 90% great and 10% bizzare fetishes which probably put you on a register somewhere.

I wish thag people would look at actual spiders before drawing or modelljng them. Spoders are cool as gently caress but no one seems to want to actually know what they look like.

You, uh, didn't check out the part where it jams a tentacle in the cranium to release brain control spiders, did you?

I'd say only the humanoid knights avoid fetish territory real good. The other monsters are all faces dicks tits.

I'm just having a good time picturing what other things you could convert it to hold as a lure.

Anime body pillow

Fleshlight

There's also the weird deer thing and the hand-man thing. But I more meant most monsters are like 90% a weird cool thing and 10% dicks. Except that one that's just a vagina.

No, don't you get it? The naked quad-amputee is the best lure for the voraciously lusty human male; all the "important" parts are there, but she can't get away.

Yeah, it came up in /tg/'s worst GW mini thread, but was overshadowred by Taurox and how it's totally cool you guys with some conversion

One guy said that converters are hubrisome shitheads who ignore the lore and artist intent behind the model/lovely brick tracks/autocannons that overlook side doors/exhaust routed through passenger compartment.

Also year the Taurox is pretty lovely even with conversion. A lot of GW stuff is though, their models aren't actually that great on average.

What I learned from the thread is that there's basically a cottage industry of people catering to those with enough sense to want to convert Tauroxes (but not enough sense not to buy them).

Take it to the next level and buy a whole not-Taurox kit from a cottage industry.

The Taurox is baller with the right paintscheme, it's just the ugly baby blue that GW used that sucks. Yeah, it's a brick, but I love that brick. Bricky, blocky, industrial-looking vehicles are kind of par for the course for Imperial vehicles.

No, not just you. The heads would be small even if they weren't helmets. Given that the helmets have heads inside, presumably, these guys are total pinheads.

They are a lot larger than normal dudes. So I guess their heads are kinda normal but their bodies are more hulked out with rage and demons or whatever. They are on 40mm bases.

Given the proportions of "heroic" scale miniatures, they probably have comparatively normal sized heads. It's just only noticeable when you're using other models in the same scale for reference.
