I have a few...may have to be split up by army.

1. Tyranids - I made a Kerrigan (from Starcraft & Starcraft 2). Set on a medium base with Creep on the ground, she came from a few Nid Warrior bits and a Dark Elf Wych body. One of these days I'll get a pic or two. :-)

2. Dark Eldar - this is a toss-up. I converted a Necron Wraith & some Inquisitor parts into a Talos; it looks like a cybernetic Hydra. I also converted one of the old Dark Eldar Archon Lords to be flipping the middle finger with his giant claw hand, and his personal Raider had a Fire Warrior and some IG dudes chained to the sides in various stages of "beat to hell."

3. Eldar - Favorite for sheer "WTF" factor is my Avatar with two swords. Favorite for Utility are my Wave Serpents - Falcon chassis + front end of a DE Raider.

I don't really have anything for Warmachine at the moment just because I haven't had as much time since I started playing to do conversions...but I'll check and see what's hiding around. :-D

It is terrain from the Mines of Moria LOTR kit.

Nice Rats. Ironfists were made for Rat Ogres...

I'd imagine that you get plenty of phallus jokes, when you lay THIS bad boy down on the table:

LOL yes, when I was scultping him, I was imagining an Oblit with a cannon coming out of his chest. ala Ahab vs. the Whale...
And he piled upon the whales white hump. A sum of all the rage and hate felt by his own race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart ...
The way it turned out it was a little lower to make it look good. That and the contributing fact that the Plasma cannon kinda looks like a ribbed instrument. It is more of a "Say hallo to my little friend." I still like the look of it but I do see where the phallic jokes could be justified.

I like this one. I did the modeling and painting, but the credit for the concept has to go someplace else. [Someone] asked me to duplicate something he'd seen on someone else's painting blog.

The Eldar Exodite Lizard Tank! Complete with swap-able magnetized weapons.

3. I will not mark an international package as a "gift". It's a felony, so please don't ask.

Are you mounting him similarly to the first one, or is he staying on the base like that?
I'm asking because, in the pose he's in now, it would look more natural that he was swinging the big...err... thing... (as you're looking at the picture) from the right to left, rather than left to right -which it looks like, now. To make that the case, you'd need to swivel the... thing... 180 degrees.

Actually he is swinging it from back to front, the camera angle is playing with your mind.... :shocked:

That being said, I AM NOT CHANGING HIM EVEN IF IT LOOKS WRONG. It was way too hard to get it to stay, there is no way I am trying it again...
