I actually do a sort of 'whittling' effct on them with my knives (I both cut and work leather as well as being a budding swordsman and blacksmith, so my digits are already maimed), to create a sort of chaosy like tree ala the Murder scenery described in the recent Horus Heresy series from Dan Abnett and the rest. This looks really nice. Also, if inventive enough, they make great random spikes to have erupting from spawn models. A friend and I made one using the clwed arm with a tongue for the head, a marine leg and a warped tentacle like leg, as well as the armored looking crabs claw and the huge splayed claw like hand. The body is a grotesque blob of GS with.. you guessed it! Excess spruings that make a lovely little spike covered back and tail! |
