Time to build an army .... with Snow Golem! 
As per vanilla Minecraft ways, acquiring mildly infinite snowballs to make snow blocks requires the need of Snow Golems. And Pumpkin blocks are from pumpkin seeds.
I trapped/boxed 3 snow golems, only leaving them one block space each (still enough for them to leave a trail of snow layer). Using stripes transport pipe, I was able to collect the snow layers and it produce one snowball. The stripes transport pipe sucked 3 snowballs per second which is super fast.
The snowballs is stored initially in a double chest, waiting to be transported to be auto crafted inside an Auto-Workbench to convert the snowballs into Snow blocks. I configured the stripes pipe to only suck the snow IF there is space inside the double chest AND if the Auto-Workbench has a certain amount of snowballs (<75% to be exact).
For the Pumpkin collection (aka the Snow Golem's head ), I utilized the Stripes Transport Pipe again and stored in a double chest at the onset.
Now for my army!
Besides the build, there lies 3 chests. Eminently the very top chest is for Pumpkins, while the other two is for Snow Blocks. I filled most of the slots inside the chests with cobblestone in order to lessen up the amount of items stored. I put gates besides the chests to only order the items if there's space inside the chests for the respective Pumpkins and Snow (which most already filled with cobble )
And then to form the Snow Golems, the reliable stripes transport pipe do the job very well.
Now to just do the timing right .... fortunately BuildCraft provides the necessary pipes.
I blueprinted this contraption and then with just the flick of a lever .... I'm ready to conquer the world.[DOUBLEPOST=1405431214][/DOUBLEPOST] My sister made this logo in advance :
