@@DaRedWunzGoFasta I just couldnt get away with that for Necrons. The only amount of customization Ive been able to pull off has been within a kit its self or my bin of necron bits. I have made a couple of the finecast characters in plastic just using bits and bodies.

I got bunch of the meng toon tanks, toon planes, some gundam Converge figures and mini STAR WARS AT-M6 all for 4 to 8 bucks at hobby lobby. Every other week at hobby lobby their plastic model kits are 40% off. The ZEON converge kits that are the Amphibious Mobile suits IE... acguy, z'gok and zok are killa kan size. Super basic, look like 1950s sci fi robots and have claws. Scratch some extra panel lines, add repair patches, replace an arm with scavenged gun and a few rivets...Done! They're just as easy as these pull back tanks! Ork-taku Unda-wurld approved

The mini AT-M6 are the size of squighog boyz/killa kanz. I got a large AT-M6 easy build on clearance for $12 bucks. It's roughly the same dimensions as a gargantuan squig and has a noise/light up cannon. The sound of the AT-AT walkers, to me sound like what most scrap heap Ork mekkas sound like. So they go with my Grot-taku Nerd grots theme.

Ethical? No, probably not. There's at least 50% less Spyware though and you'll get it in two days instead of two weeks and actually get what you ordered. Still, if I had a hobby shop, I'd figure out how to get these direct and sell them at my store.
