The entire army. Their first outing was to the Origins 2011 Indy GT on June 25, where much bashin was done (unfortunately more to them than by them, as I went 1-3). However they did win both General's Choice and Best Appearance, which is the best I could hope for. The awards were engraved flasks, so you can see the army and awards. At the 2011 Buckeye Battles on July 9 & 10th, they won General's Choice - out of 84 people.

The general is riding a three wheeler, patrolling the beach

The BSB should be carrying the biggest banner in the army. So what is bigger than a big sail - so he is windsurfing

So the shaman is the lifeguard on a tower. I was going for the Pamela Sue Anderson look from Baywatch

This started the army. I wanted the squig hoppers to be "Jumping the Shark", and so wanted a character with them. The legs were cut off the squig, and then he was greenstuffed into a shark, basically leaving only the teeth and character on top showing.

To beef up the spider riders, I wanted a character. The Gigantic Spider is a Tomb Kings Tomb Scorpion converted to a crab

I wanted this army to be different than the UGPS, so I went with Savage Orcs. My thought was that the infantry would be the big guys working out on muscle beach

Ok, so I gave up here. I had no idea how to convert the night goblins, so I used the old idea for "snail mail" as it fits the theme anyway.

Of course, what are night goblins without fanatics? In this case a squid, octopus and jellyfish

The spider riders became crab riders. The crabs were actually built from the front halves of the spiders glued together, with the legs repositioned. Claws are from the Daemonettes of Slaneesh models

The boar boyz are riding jetskis instead, out of 40K Ork warbikes and plasticard

And the rest of the "jumping the shark" unit. All squigs, if just to get their teeth. Then fanatics and older night goblin models for the riders, as these are now cavalry instead of 'unique' units.

What is a day at the beach without a beach ball to toss around. Of course, when the giant mangler squig finds it, it changes the game completely. At least I didn't put the goblins in traditional beach volleyball bikinis!

The giant is intended to be a warped version of Ariel, from the little mermaid, in the scene where she is singing and coming up out of the ocean. The tail is actually from a little mermaid doll, the breasts are the bodies of giant spiders left over from making the crabs. Lots of greenstuff and a big shell and some fake coral.

When the new arachnarok spider came out, I knew I wanted one. It was just huge and cool. Took me a while to figure out what to make of it, and then the idea for a giant lobster popped up. So greenstuff and plasticard turned him from a spider to a lobster.

One thing I have not done with my armies before was to make a custom turn counter - I have seen some of these for others so decided I needed to step it up a bit. The night goblin is roasting the snotling like a marshmallow over the fire, and he turns around the fire so his stick points to the current turn.

I am playing in a tournament on Jan 7, 2012. In the first scenario, you pick one infantry model and promote it to a messenger and try to get it off the board. In the second scenario, the messenger returns, but has been mutated by chaos into a chaos spawn. So each player has to bring a model on a 40mm base to represent the spawn. I forgot about this until two days before, so when I tried to think of something to have my goblin mutate into, I got the idea of doing an Incredible Hulk tribute - kind of a "Whose the Bully Now?". So a goblin exposed to the radiation of the chaos wastes - well you wouldn't like him when he is angry.
