Summoning Summoner


Miniatures


I think I have found an appropriate mini for my dwarven summoner. I plan to get rid of the book though. Your advice, should you be able to provide it, will be to help me to add a summoning spell effect in its place. I have seen a couple that come close but would like some more creative input. :)

Suggestions?

I think grafting some Small or Tiny monster in place of the book, with some magic swirlies, is a great idea. :)

What do you summon/what does your eidilon look like? I've used things like the DDM Fire Bat taken off his base. I even used a Heroclix human torchwith the tail of flame going around the minis foot(glued on the bottom of the tail) and gluing a hand or foot to the PC mini as well.

Things like the Unhallowed Mephits work pretty well too.


Good ideas Cpt. I am not sure the translucent plastic will look too good with a metal mini. Is this just me? Has anyone tried this?

So far it has been mostly spiritual dogs, though earthy beings fit the character. (and dino's & dragons fit the player :). The Eido is too big though giving this mini a hammerhead was my first attempt at green stuff.

Thanks Sean, I think I have a few tiny critters (or even the head of a larger one... hmmm...? I need help on 'magic swirlies' What would this look like to you & also how to make them out of greenstuff.

I know you said you weren't sure about clear plastic.... but This mini might look really interesting as a in the middle of summoning type thing (maybe remove the book from the mini and turn the hand upside-down so it looks like he's "petting" that forming summons?)


This is why SKR is my hero.
I think those are within my sculpting ability, but I have never really tried. The fine details might be in the painting which I can do :) I will try and post pics when I am done. Thanks to ye both.


Thread Necro:
but since my 'summoning summoner' ended up on Tonya's blog, I thought I would share. Some of the magic swirlies have broken off already. Too thin I think, though you can still see a couple of them. I am not sure they show up on the photo, but I was pleased that I got the book off without loosing any fingers. :)
