[WM] Squig Herd - Has anyone tried doing one?

[azrael71]

In the Goblin (only) army list there is unit type of Squig Herds.
This unit has no uppre limit and looks like a useful addition to my force.
Short of buying rather a lot of command packs just for the squigs has anyone tried to model these troops?
I was planning on using nurgle swarm bases with the odd larger squig on?

Any other ideas or pictures?

considering the scale of WM, i would suggest a simple solution is just get some very small round beads and them mount them on herd bases, if you are good with sculpting use green stuff to make legs , but considering the massive number and the size of the squigs, personally i wouldnt think this is necissary

I do like to employ a what you see is what you get approach. So I will be representing them one way or t'other.
What WM army do you play Chaos Rabbit?

Hi,

I have found a squig lover who had built a squig army, maybe it could be a source of inspiration for you azrael71,

ciao!

Sweet,
I have seen those images a while ago but they look like the ones out of the character packs

Hmmm  ....  use squig from existing packs to make a "negative" part mold, bake, oil, and then make small balls, push in mould, take out, squeeze backend for tail, and bake off......

Great Idea, but wouldn't this be copyright theft?

As long as you dont sell them under the GW label you shouldnt have a problem.

Creating a copy for own use is legal under most countries AND European IP law. As is using (parts off) models for creating your own conversions.

Excellent.
Now off to cast 100's of squigs
