They called me mad! Insane! Wendell!
A picture of Malkavian vampires from Vampire: the Masquerade. One is wearing a Norman-style helmet and underpants, and is bleeding into a cup; the other is pulling a strange expression as he kisses a fish. He must really like fish.

GW consistently refused to give us Warhammer Armies: Fishmen, so I was forced to make my own!
A small army of Fishmen for Warhammer: The Old World, with one Warshoal Leader (counts as Saurus Hero) and a unit of Carpies (counts as Saurus Warriors with spears and shields). A close up of the Carpies. A unit of 15, arrayed 5 wide by 3 deep, painted like koi carp in orange and white with black speckling. A close-up of the vacant expression on the Totem Bearer. I wonder what icons inspire fish-people? Bright Shallows, the Warshoal Leader. A big, hulking fishman, with the golden scales and pale fins of a koi carp. He carries a macuahuitl, and is probably making gurgling noises.

Vampires, demons, gargoyles, skeletons - we've got it all! Happy Hallowe'en everyone!
A dhampir looking suspiciously like Alucard from Castlevania, drawing his sword as he stalks through a blood-splattered hall. A demonic Praetor, Draghignazzo of the Malebranche, sets his burning gaze on a new foe. A fiendish-looking gargoyle is upset that adventurers have invaded the tomb it was guarding. Get off its lawn! A warrior in the service of Chaos in life, Arghash Twice-Damned did not reach the afterlife he was promised, and now leads a band of Undead reanimated by the fell energies suffusing his corpse.

How about the one group of Eldar who can get away with wearing purple without it immediately evoking She Who Thirsts? A troupe of laughing Harlequins will surely help everyone feel better (except Mon-Keigh, but whatever)!
A small Troupe of Eldar Harlequins, led by a Great Harlequin, moving forward in a blur of colors. Their outfits are black, white, and purple, with gold trimmings; their holo-fields are represented with pinkish-purplish iridescent nail-art flakes. A close-up of the Harlequin portraying Asuryan in the Great Dance. He has a large crest of blue hair, like the Dire Avengers, to mark him out. A close-up of the Harlequins portraying Isha and Kurnous in the Great Dance. Isha has a big shock of hair in earthy green and blue tones, while Kurnous has prop antlers mounted on the back of his mask. A close-up of the Harlequins portraying Ulthanash and Eldanesh, the heroes of the Eldar racial legends. Their costumes are designed as counterparts to each other; opposite halves of their face-masks are blanked out, revealing the right-hand side of Eldanesh's face and the left-hand side of Ulthanash's; and they bear crests on their foreheads, a sun for Eldanesh and a moon for Ulthanash.

So many good robots, all manifestations of the Omnissiah's glory! Beep boop, Omnissiah be praised!
Xiom Metaphrax, my scratch-built Tech Priest Dominus, standing on a landing pad in front of his personal transport, a dirty old Arvus Lighter. A three-quarters shot of Xiom's right-hand side, the focusing array of his eRad Cleanser glowing green. A three-quarters shot of Xiom's left-hand side, showing his axe, halo-cog, and little walking stick that he almost certainly doesn't need but keeps as a reminder of the frailty of his flesh. "Hello. Are you broken? By the grace of the Omnissiah, I will fix you."

Blood runs... anger rises... death wakes... war calls!
An Eldar Avatar, the incarnation of Khaela Mensha Khaine, a living statue of burning wraithbone and molten metal. A close-up of the Avatar of Khaine, its hand dripping with the blood of Eldanesh. The Suin Daellae, the Wailing Doom, glowing along its length with burning runes.

If you see this, repost with a vampire that is not Dracula
A model that is extremely heavily inspired by Alucard from Castlevania, walking through candle-strewn catacombs, drawing an oversized estoc from his back. The estoc in Symphony of the Night was terrible, but this version of him seems to have no problems with it.

How about some slimes made for D&D? Can't get much more goo per goo than that!
A collection of slimes for Dungeons And Dragons, made by squidging hot glue onto a base and applying several coats of gloss varnish. A Black Pudding, a type of slime that splits into smaller slimes when struck. A Gray Ooze and an Ochre Jelly. Four different blobs of Green Slime. Nickelodeon would be proud!

In my defence, an evil witch who kidnaps children is a lot scarier when you're five. But the randomness of what constituted a 'wrong' choice, the sudden unfairness of the Game Over, and then the... noise... tune... laughing...
The failure state of Granny's Garden on the BBC Micro: being caught by the evil witch. Her skin is cyan, her hat is magenta, she has green hair, and her nose and chin curl inwards so they almost touch each other. She used to open and close her mouth in a disturbing way that approximated talking, although the game had no speech and she just produced a series of scare-chords instead. The text box beneath her reads "Ha ha! Now I've got you! I will send you home at once."

I wasn't ready to feel such genuine love for every character in this story. (Except Jerry.) Wherever you look, Toby is already there waiting for you with puns and a grin. Flawless.

Oh no, you appear to have wandered outside the game setting and encountered GYLGYLLYG THE SHAPELESS!
A big purplish fleshy blob with spines and tentacles and a nearly-central fluorescent green eye. Strange holes/craters/pores/orifices leak unidentified goo. The left-hand side of the blob, with multiple pulsing brains, showcasing the tentacles/spines down the back. The right-hand side of the blob. It's either coming out of the ground, or sitting on one of its brains; it's unclear which. The eye of Gylgyllyg is upon you! You think you're melting; it's hard to tell.

I can offer 40k, AoS, Warmachine, Trench Crusade, HH, WHFB, Old World... and if we stretch the definition of 'army' a little, I can do Necromunda and Blood Bowl as well...
A small force of Eldar for Warhammer 40,000, paint in the blue-and-green colours of my homebrew Craftworld, Cas-Eilyth, the River of Sorrow. An army of Infernals for Warmachine, formerly by Privateer Press. The mortal cultists are mostly in shades of black and red, while the demons have sickly pale skin. A warband of the Court of the Seven-Headed Serpent, for Trench Crusade by Factory Fortress Inc. Paimon, the demonic sorcerer, commands a converted force of Hell Knights, Yoke Fiends, and Wretched, with a Pit Locust in support. An army of Nighthaunt for Age of Sigmar, painted in ghostly greens over a desolate snowy landscape. These are also my backup NPCs for D&D, if the players are ever foolish enough to go wandering on the Ethereal Plane.

One of the most infamous traitors of the 41st millennium, the now-long-dead (or is he?) Lord Varlak!
A 2nd edition Warhammer 40,000 Imperial Psyker model, painted to represent the renegade Lord Varlak of Korsk II, the subject of the Battle Report in White Dwarf 187.

Apparently Evri has my parcel from eBay and it's out for delivery, due in the next two hours. We'll see.
An image of Disney's Snow White with her nose and mouth pressed against a window pane, distorting her face into a strange, slightly pig-like expression. The word 'pakidge' appears next to her, implying she's waiting for a package delivery. This is the face I am making as I write this description.

Kitbashing and converting is one of my favourite parts of the hobby! I really enjoy personalising my models; it makes my army really feel like 'mine', and not just a generic bunch of off-the-shelf plastic. (I like telling stories about my blorbos!)
A heavily converted Exodite Dragon Rider, made from bits of old Shining Spears, plastic Dire Avengers, High Elf horse rider legs, an old metal Dark Elf Cold One, Beastmen horns, and all sorts of random bits and pieces. A kitbashed Yoke Fiend for Trench Crusade, based around an old plastic Kroot but with monstrous jaws, shaggy fur, bladed spikes all over it, barbed wire, and with a hellish device tied to its back. A scratch-built Adeptus Mechanicus Archmagos, comprising dozens of different bits, some from other kits and some from random junk I had lying around.

RED FOR THE RED GOD!

...or something, I'm new at Khorne.
A Khornate Chaos Lord and a rank of Chaos Warriors, marching forth across a landscape of blackened, broken rock. They have red helmets and brazen armor, their banner strewn with chains, pelts, and the skulls of fallen foes.

You're reborn as a cartoon character. Who are you?

(Wombles aren't strictly speaking cartoon characters, but they're still animated, so I'm counting it!)
Orinoco the Womble, as presented on his fandom Wiki page. He has off-white fur, a drooping snout and ears, and a red hat and scarf. Orinoco the Womble, as shown in the newer computer-animated series. His hat is brown in this version, and he is carrying a bag with a big 'W' on it. He seems to have been distracted by a large chocolate cake with green icing, and is holding a piece in his other hand. Orinoco the Womble, in the original 1973 tv series. In this version, his fur is gray and his hat is brown. He is standing in front of a wall in the Wombles' burrow, which has been wallpapered in newspaper clippings.

I used to have a Circle Orboros force back in the day, but when they released the Infernals, I loved the models and went all-in on them. (They have never seen play, as the game is dead around here, but I like them anyway.)
A Warmachine Infernals army, painted in red, black, white, and brass. They stand arrayed on cracked, broken ground in front of some run-down houses from a village they've just sacked. Some Infernal Cultists in dark red robes. The leader has a scroll with summoning instructions for one of the Masters. Behind the cultists, two Tormentors rampage past an old barn. Bizarre crab-like creatures with no eyes, they gallop around on four wiry legs, their fleshy claws clacking. Omodamos, The Black Gate, Master of the Infernals, arises from a cloud of smoke. His monstrous flails glow internally with hellish light.

Winter, you say? Ice Planet Votann, go!
A small Leagues of Votann force, painted in the colours of the Lego Ice Planet 2002 Space theme. A squad of Kyn, braving the cold. Their boots and collars are trimmed with fur, and they march forward over crunching ice. Some Pioneers, their hoverbikes making the ice beneath them glow orange. The Kahl of the Ice Planet Votann, complete with glowing orange chainsaw.
