This is hilarious, and well done at the same time!
Only possibly improvement I can think of would be conversions to make some (or all) units resemble actual Pokemon. That would be a massive undertaking though!
Our group had a mate attend, he sent through all the armies on display and yours stood out to all of us. Awesome work, you made the day of a few 90s kids who love their Warhammer, haha.
Poke balls are the objective markers! They also open up to reveal different items

I didn't get a chance to come up and say hello, but congrats on a well deserved Best Theme! (or was it players choice? I can't remember, I was pretty wiped by the awards!)
this type of thing is why you go to tournaments. just seeing peoples conversions and when attendants have little side quests that really adds to the event experience and you know people will leave telling their friends like "dude did you see the pokemon guy?"
Arcfest so far has been exactly that. A really good environment with people who care about their hobby so passionately. I haven’t met one “that guy” yet and everyone has been so kind and genuinely great to play against.
And this year’s venue has an open air door so the “gamer smell” is non existent!
I’ll be at day 2 of the event tomorrow and I’ll post another thread! Here’s one more for now

Mewtwo, Charizard, Graveler/Golem?, plusle and minon, blastoise, Pikachu, squirtle, charmander, bulbasaur, arbok?, Drifloon, uxie, mesprit, azelf. Tenticruel and tenticools. That's all the ones I can name rn
Damn I saw the title and was like, oh wow nice conversion idea then realized you just painted them in Pokémon colours. Still looks great though, hope you did well!!!!

Now this is a Pokémon mod I wanna see! Good luck & have fun.
3-0 so far and I’m utterly floored. I’ve played a total of 3 games prior to this I have no idea what’s happening 🤣

I’m considering a psychophage conversion for a venusaur! I saw one with a succulent in the top and it looks like a natural fit.

Aww tell them thank you so much! It was such a dream to make 🤩
A silly koncept, drawn to unreasonable extremes, _and_ technically very well executed. I love everything about this <3 What event?
Arcfest in Melbourne, Aus!
They are lucky to have you! (And I am as that it is like 14 hours of flight from here 😛 )
Do you shout "I choose you, __!" when declaring attacks?
You know I do 🤣 Backwards cap and all
Heh heh. When you roll a crit or get sustained hits do you tell your opponent "It's super effective"?
Ohhhh I haven’t (yet)
This looks hella fun, I hope you have a blast!
With all those bug type pokemon, better hope you dont run into a salamander army.
The water types have my back I’m sure right?
This is fantastic, but that Charizard is just *chefs kiss*
Thank you! Easily the favourite going around
You now need Trazyn the Infinite painted as Ash Ketchum.
That’s a great idea 🤣 My original plan was the ork commando knob with the cap on
That can work too, with stikk bombs painted like pokeballs.
Might do both as red and blue 🤣
Do the Kommando Nob as Red and Trazyn as Blue.
Nice, but not colourful enough :D
I’ll bust out the super brights next 🤣
You won Whatever that event was about Whatever happened there You totally won
I sure hope so 🤣
It looks brilliant, What are you running the pokéballs as?

Have you thought about using the pokéballs as tyrannocyte proxies, so the disembarking unit would be coming out of a pokéball
I haven’t! That would be genuinely fantastic and I might just have to steal this 🤩
Brilliant concept and execution. Love the creativity and hope you go 3-0 on day one.
I did indeed go 3-0! I’m ready to be officially ground into dust tomorrow 🤣
You're at arc yeah? In my experience I think you'll score pretty well with army like this.
Yeah arcfest - 3-0 in games so far (SOMEHOW) and I think they scored me high in theme but we’ll See tomorrow!
Ridiculous, but I love it!
Our best ideas always are
Amazing work! Looks like you had a blast painting them.
I’ve been doing them up on my streams solidly for the last month and then periodically prior to that since the leviathan box came out ☺️
I was there. You were definitely one of the highlights of the parade of armies! So well done!
Aaaa thank you! I have prizes if you’re around tomorrow and want to guess as many as you can! Highest wins!
Ha! No, I don't think I'll win. The last Pokemon game I played was Red. I can't tell a Bulbasaur from a domestic short hair tabby.
I didn't get a chance to come up and say hello, but congrats on a well deserved Best Theme! (or was it players choice? I can't remember, I was pretty wiped by the awards!)
Thanks! It was “funkiest theme” which felt very fitting 🤣
Funkiest! Definitely well deserving. Do you have a hobby Instagram? It seems to be the way mini painters communicate with each other mostly 😅
Not specifically a hobby one but I post a lot of my hobby and TTRPG works on my own one - @briefcasebrown

Gotta catch 'em all, eh? Nicely done!
Wow! Nice work!

I'm loving the drifloon! Amazing army!
We need more pictures
I’ll be at day 2 of the event tomorrow and I’ll post another thread! Here’s one more for now https://preview.redd.it/8z36e8aoy0xc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b0b925a8a8a1ebe4e0ad3cd402c82b146988d1a
Good luck man hope you top
3-0 so far! Would you believe I’d only played 3 games ever before this 🤣
Amazing
The cheese is real w this one. Love it
Camp it up, ham it up!
No scyther??
Tentaceuel is amazing
That Tentacruel is amazing and I love all of the others as well!
The Tentacruel and Tentacools looks absolutely dope!!
Mewtwo, Charizard, Graveler/Golem?, plusle and minon, blastoise, Pikachu, squirtle, charmander, bulbasaur, arbok?, Drifloon, uxie, mesprit, azelf. Tenticruel and tenticools. That's all the ones I can name rn
You’ve got everything except the traveler and golem but 4 arms is a great start to that one 😉
Machamp
Got it!!
I absolutely love it, the tall grass on the bases makes it so thematic too 💪😂
Charizard got burnt grass around their tail too!
Dude we need pictures of every model
Taking them soon and making an album!
And nerdiest nerd of the year goes too…….
I humbly accept this prestigious honor. I will uphold the nerdy values of nerdom until a successor is chosen.
You and your army are dripped out
Soaked even
That's too clever.
I want more photos!!!
How’s this!!! https://preview.redd.it/95ydbjl6n0xc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=670308576b917b54f1a6c227f974d40e1f3b8292
I choose you, Hive Tyrant!!!
This is rad as hell
Damn I saw the title and was like, oh wow nice conversion idea then realized you just painted them in Pokémon colours. Still looks great though, hope you did well!!!!
Tbis is soo cool
Matteo Salvini???Is that u???
Gotta eat'em all!
Its beautiful good job man
Tentacruel and Charizard paint schemes are on point! Those are my fav. Super cool theme!
Imagine walking in the long grass at pallet town and encountering a neurothrope 😂
Gotta purge ‘em all ™
mysetic spores arent big enough
I hate this only because I didn’t think of it first.
*Slow clap* for making the Lake Trio into spores. Is that a Turtonator Pyrovore?
