Inspirations: Proxy 40k armies part 2

So last month I did a little post on a forum member by the username of "Uber kroot"... but I found so much by Uber kroot that I couldn't fit it all into one post.... so now I have the continuation of some more proxy 40k armies :).

A Hrud army (LINK)

Almost look like they should be selling droids in a desert somewhere

The paint job certainly takes them away from the Jawa look

Can't beat a bit of steampunk...

OMG there's soooo many of them!!

Tanks too :)

But we aren't done yet....

K'Nib Army (link)

Initial concept

Weapon concepts

Production line

Spiders with... guns?

Spiders with goggles??!?!?!

Trust an Australian.....

I love these guys....

Holy crap!!

Ah warhammer quest had the cutest spiders...

A duel to the death

Wait now the spiders have night vision goggles and missile launchers.... AAAAAAAAHH

This picture reminds me of Dune.....

Such a brilliant idea....

Anyway that's all of Uber kroots threads that I could find, though there are some more random posts and other gems to be found should you go looking, I also didn't put up every picture from the threads so there is more to see should you follow the links.

I was suitable impressed when I first discovered these some years ago, I hope that some of these ideas could inspire you too :).

Have a good one.

Inspirations: Proxy 40k armies

The images you are about to see all come from one guy, forum name "Uber kroot", this guy seems to have a brilliant imagination when it comes to using other miniatures in proxy armies. The creativity here is hugely inspiring to me.

Tarellian Army (link: Here)

Now that's one tooled up leader

Nasty looking ain't he

A fair few scary creatures you wouldn't want to meet in a (large) dark alley

Jump pack Lizardmen...

Reminds me of the HE-MAN movie.....I guess the Avengers movie for younger generations

Necron Monoliths like you have never seen them before...

I see orc & necron  parts, plus a croxigor

Nekulli (Link: Here)

I saw this guy and thought that would look cool with the bretonnian banner top on it's neck.... (looked at the miniature lying on the desk underneath.... crap lol).

I might need to get me some 'nids....

Inspirations: Lizardmen & Fimir

Apologies for the delay in updating the blog, I have had a busy xmas period (and the weeks afterwards) and very little time to spare on little figures, I have dabble a little bit here and there and based a few minis ready to undercoat, however the snow means I can't do that yet...

So i've been thinking about my lizardmen for a while now, I was pretty much going to use some Helldorado lost for the large ones and GW Skinks for the small ones. I'm probably still going to use GW Skinks but i've come across a couple of ideas that have made me look at other GW kits for the bigger lizardmen, specifically the Savage Orc kit.

This idea here from Matal over on DeviantArt is a brilliant use of the new Savage orcs to create Saurus models which I much prefer to the existing GW kit.

The below conversion from Khar however grabs my attention more at the moment, this time Kroxigor sized but again using the savage orc kit as a basis (Amazing how flexible it can be with a legs swap). I'm really liking this conversion though I think I will reduce the neck length (a little) should I undertake it.

While i'm posting conversions using Savage orcs as a basis have you seen Mr Saturday's Fimir? A brilliant revitalisation of an old GW race.
