Inspired by "Valor & Steel & Flesh" by Parroom station and using predominantly Reaper and lighter parts.

But still... They come!

Nice, very nice!

Pray hard but pray with care
For the tears that you are crying now
Are just your answered prayers

They're excellent. What's the main body of the 'vehicle'?

The weapons platforms and seats are shields from my bits pile.  The structural components are the buttons from butane lighters as are the weapons mounts, and the disc is a plate out of a VCR motor.

A bit reminiscent of Galacta Octopoids, I'd give the win to these.

Excellent! The lad from Wales is right.

Reaper parts?  What parts?  Give it up, old man.  I mean, mine were made from Heresy Ticks, beads, and green stuff, so what did you use?!

Looks good, BTW...jealous I might be.

The bodies are "P03532B: Spaghetti w/ Meat"
from http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/rift/sku-down/03532

The eyes are greenstuff.

The front "arms" I'm not so sure about - I picked up a whole sack of some demon's horned lower jaw.  Greenstuff or some other tentacle bit should suffice.
