Alright, so one day I was walking through Walmart looking for food-stuffs and I came across these and my mind went "Spore pods!!!" in an instant, and so I bought them. Yes, they are fake pumpkins. They were each only $0.97 so I got four of them for my Tyranids, but I am really nor sure shat to do with them. They feel like styrofoam with a rubber/plastic outside of them so they are nice and solid

So I figured I should ask the hive what they think. I was planing on greenstuffing some vines over them and on one end make a "Mouth" that or just paint them... really not sure

Here is what they look like... so, thoughts?

This could go either way... really good

or scary bad! Best of luck to you! I dont have a lot of experience with GS but if you use only that it'll get expensive you ca try plumbing putty or even mighty putty (that stuff that Billy Mays advertised before he died) I bought some and the only thing is work quick cuz it dries hard in minutes (not even 10 minutes) but get something a little cheaper to make up the bulk of the pod.

I did the same thing a week ago! Only the faux-pumpkins I bought are a little taller and skinnier, but roughly the same mass. It's part of my Halloween theme I'm working on

@ Deathnid Huh? what you say?

At first I thought they where actually gourds and was like "bad idea!" Since they're fake, I now think you should definitely go for it and post pics.

I've had this idea for about 2 weeks now (I said 1 week in my last post. that was a typo). It was seeing someone else find the same idea that made me actually move forward with it (i've been so damn busy trying to get those Hive Guard to stay together... they do NOT like glue all that much)

That's funny. I just found this a couple of minutes before I found this thread

I'll try make some of these for Halloween ^^

Anyway, Killercroc, don't you think they look cool enough already?? Just paint them the colour of your Scheme and they are ready to transport your vicious monsters down the battlefield!

what do you mean the party's over?

Absolutely awesome! You could use a micro torch to melt the interior of the mouth and eyes to make it all oozy and paint the interior appropriate purple/pink colors.

Could also mount interchangeable weapons in the eyes...
