I guess there are Edinites yet that could quickly become quite pricey

Any ideas on 6mm skulls anyone?

I need to start building some piles for the Worlds Eaters.

"where does he get all those wonderful toys?"

You never cease to amaze me Apoc.

That could be cool. Let me see what else I can do without having to take up your time with making moulds. You have so many things that I would like moulded...

I think at 6mm you could make decent enough skulls if you make small balls of GS and poke them with a pin for eyes and nostrils. Pinch the bottom with a pair of tweezers to create the teeth and then just press/cut-in the teeth themselves with a sharp knife.

Have a look at the Edenite jump troops in their thread to get an idea of scale.

i actually find Milliput great for this type of work as it's easier to manipulate as you don't push things too much out of shape when you make the next detail.

That's a fine idea Dobbsy. I think I may give it a go.

If you really want to get technical you could lightly press the slight divot either side of the skull/beside the eye sockets too for more detail.

Hmmm if anybody finds a good single skull I'd be very interested in using them as cyber skulls for my skitts

I've done bases for my Khorne army in a way similar to Apoc's Tower of skulls. It is a very simple and quick method. Make a blob of green stuff where you want the skull pile. Take a piece of plastic tube and sharpen the edge of the tube by "drilling" it with a hobby knife. The tube should be roughly the size you want the skull (Ie somewhere between 1 and 2 mm.) Then press the tube into your greenstuff so that eaych skull touches one another. Using a needle you can then poke holes for the eyes and nose. A bit of jiggelig with a rounded object or sculpting tool can give a bit more skull shape. Fairly quick to do once you get the hang of it.
