how about making him stand on a pile of skulls lol
really almost everything major has been done - with smurfs the key is giving them individulity somehow -quirkey traits. is he a collector? of what? does he smoke? clean his armor or gouge it? is he prim and propper or rude and crude? from these character concepts you can give a mini a great unique feel. backstory helps.

That actually would be pretty cool. Holly, candy canes, bells, snow flakes, stars, santa hat, rudolph.................might have to give that a go myself!

well i\'m actually planing on using him in my army so what weapon combo is best. My plane is to basically out shoot the enemy and have 1 missle launcher in each tac squad and have up to 4 or 5 tac squads.
If you\'re after a shooty shooty army I\'d go with either the plain bolter or the plasma/bolter combi weapon.
And the powerfist as his close combat weapon - just in case people get close!
But then you don\'t even have to use the weapons from the box - remember he can have anything from the wargear list (As I remember it)
But if your more concerned with how he works IN GAME - I\'d put the question in the WH40K section of the forum...

okay.. how do you make your bases? lets say that you are doing gray bases... then you could for example put him on some slate (gives him some length and make him stand out in your army).. then I think you should give him a pointing powerfist (just for the model to be even cooler) and at last I would give him a powersword. that would make him great in close combat... you could have him in the back of your army.. and if you are getting charged you just bring him forth... (plus that it\'s much more fun to play with some close combat and not just shooting). I would also give him a head without helmet and give him some hair... (cool effect) and at last... of coarse some trophies from battles he has faught. that would make the purfect marine

if u do him without a helmet, then u could drill out a SM helmet and have him holding it, would look pretty sweet
yea i like the holding the helmet idea remindes me of the halo 3 advert were he grabs it then puts it on /\\ you could add a injury maybe like a bulle hole somewere with a bit of blood the only problem with painting blood thou is it either looks brilliant or rubbish good luck
