When I have used Green Stuff’s rollers before I have used them for all the base, but this time I wanted a more ruined look. So planed to make sheets to break up.

I also when with different thickness of sheets. Some with square edges and some with rough edges. Because of this I am using air dry clay.

1st bit rollered and cut square

This one had section that were thinner than others so I cut out the bit that did not have a inprint. Making sure the sheet is all of the same thickness is important.

Next is letting them dry. I have found that air dry clay will carl as it dry due to the top drying faster than the bottom. To stop this i use weights.  Next is letting them dry.

After 48 hours of drying I them sealed the clay with army painter matt varnish to make painting easier later.After 48 hours of drying I them sealed the clay with army painter matt varnish to make painting easier later.

That’s the 1st box put together. I have been thinking about how to do the base’s.

As I am planing to use them for a RPG too, I am planning to go with a Greek thame, so I picked up a Green Stuff World’s Greek rolling pin. I have used there rolling pin’s before so plan to take lots of photo’s for everyone to see.

For the 1st box of Melusai I put them together as Blood Stalkers, as that’s what I needed for a RPG game I am running. Eventually I will be making 10 Blood stalkers and 10 Blood Sisters.

I was not expecting to get a full Cauldron of Blood so that is a bonus. I was not expecting to get a full Cauldron of Blood so that is a bonus.

I went a little bit overboard with my buying when I needed a few medusa’s for a game. I have been looking at GW’s Melusai and Khinerai for some time. So used my need as a reason to buy the Temple Nest set.

There are a few member’s of my local club that play AOS. So I may end up getting a playable army. Espassaly as I have a very large collection of Dark Elves that can stand in for the basic troops.

So the first thing I did was have a look for unusual snake colours for ideas for painting.
