Thanks!
I thought the more human frame underneath would add to the creepiness.

For those of you not familiar with the Warhammer 40,000 universe setting, a Soulgrinder is a monstrousity of Demonic and Mechnical nature. Think something like a big Drider, or Centaur, that is part mechincal in nature, with a gun arm and a giant claw. Started with some Aluminum foil. Twinsted into a humanoid form, then bent it into a humanoid moving on all four limbs Added a Brock Lesner torso, a foil and hot glue head, and a battle cannon made from a bic pen Not mechanical enough, so I added a power claw and some armor plating for the legs Figured mechanical knee joints would add to the mechanical look, and used some pony beads to add them to all the joints Capped the pony beads on the joints, and added some rear leg armor Bulked up the belly and added knee armor on the rear legs Added additional armor to the front legs, added detail to the joints and the gun arm

Actual D&D miniatures are in 1:60 scale, which you can actually purchase cars and other models in. Maybe in the 80's. The 1" is 5ft is practically a sacred cow, but there has been a gradual scale creep, you can probably attribute to GW and Reaper. Most modern figures are larger than that. As others have pointed out O Scale 1/43 "looks" right next to most modern 28-30mm figures.

The model looks good, but to be honest, for the large amounts of models required for a Tyranid force you are probably better off using simple 2D models for troops, like the termagant, and save the 2.5D models for the larger models. It's typical to field 100+ guants in a force that uses them. Wait, just reread your post, I've never played with the one page rules, so I don't know what the army composition is like, with those rules. In case you are unaware, cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/ is chock full of people who game with paper miniatures, and would love your paper models.

Wait, Undead and DIsplacer beasts ? I don't see those at all. Nope, found them. The D&D ones aren't called Deep Cuts wizkids.com/dnd-unpainted/

Yeah, the shelves are big enough to accomodate 1" bases.
Enjoying this campaign as a player, instead of my usual role as DM, so I only need the room for the one miniature though.

At some point during a D&D session I ineviatabley have to move my dice, pencils, miniatures, etc.. to make room for a map or plate of food. I figured this way I could just pick them all up at once.

I've used a similar approach, with plaster of paris and alluminum foil, to make wrecked cars, but it never occured to me to try it with hotglue.
Definitely see potential for this.

The stuff I've seen in the dollar store is either generic play doh or generic plasticine clay.
Plasticine never hardens.
If it melted in the oven it's likely a plasticine clay. The Play Doh like stuff would harden, and likely crumble, if baked.

I have been hitting the local Dollar Tree twice a week for the last month, and they haven't had any of the cool stuff they had last Fall.

The addition of gears on the side is a nice touch
