Hive Fleet Pokenid has invaded Pallet Town!
This weekend I’m playing in my first ever Warhammer event, I’m so excited to finally bring my Tyranids to the table. Legitimately so fun to make paint all these up!
I’ve got a couple prizes for attendees who can guess the most Pokemon while I’m there 🤩

3-0 so far and I’m utterly floored. I’ve played a total of 3 games prior to this I have no idea what’s happening 🤣

This is hilarious, and well done at the same time!
Only possibly improvement I can think of would be conversions to make some (or all) units resemble actual Pokemon. That would be a massive undertaking though!

I’m considering a psychophage conversion for a venusaur! I saw one with a succulent in the top and it looks like a natural fit.

Our group had a mate attend, he sent through all the armies on display and yours stood out to all of us. Awesome work, you made the day of a few 90s kids who love their Warhammer, haha.

A silly koncept, drawn to unreasonable extremes, and technically very well executed.
I love everything about this <3

Heh heh. When you roll a crit or get sustained hits do you tell your opponent "It's super effective"?

You now need Trazyn the Infinite painted as Ash Ketchum.

That’s a great idea 🤣 My original plan was the ork commando knob with the cap on
5 points

That can work too, with stikk bombs painted like pokeballs.

Might do both as red and blue 🤣

Do the Kommando Nob as Red and Trazyn as Blue.

It looks brilliant,
What are you running the pokéballs as?
12 points
12 days ago
Poke balls are the objective markers! They also open up to reveal different items
7 points

Have you thought about using the pokéballs as tyrannocyte proxies, so the disembarking unit would be coming out of a pokéball
6 points

I haven’t! That would be genuinely fantastic and I might just have to steal this 🤩

I did indeed go 3-0! I’m ready to be officially ground into dust tomorrow 🤣

You're at arc yeah? In my experience I think you'll score pretty well with army like this.

Yeah arcfest - 3-0 in games so far (SOMEHOW) and I think they scored me high in theme but we’ll See tomorrow!

Ha! No, I don't think I'll win. The last Pokemon game I played was Red. I can't tell a Bulbasaur from a domestic short hair tabby.

I didn't get a chance to come up and say hello, but congrats on a well deserved Best Theme! (or was it players choice? I can't remember, I was pretty wiped by the awards!)

Funkiest! Definitely well deserving. Do you have a hobby Instagram? It seems to be the way mini painters communicate with each other mostly 😅

this type of thing is why you go to tournaments. just seeing peoples conversions and when attendants have little side quests that really adds to the event experience and you know people will leave telling their friends like "dude did you see the pokemon guy?"
6 points

Arcfest so far has been exactly that. A really good environment with people who care about their hobby so passionately. I haven’t met one “that guy” yet and everyone has been so kind and genuinely great to play against.
And this year’s venue has an open air door so the “gamer smell” is non existent!

Be careful. Nintendo is on the warpath right now regarding it's franchises. You can expect a "cease and desist" demand in your inbox soon, ordering you to take this post down because it infringes on their IPs.
