Swarm

In an earlier Palaeo Diet post I tried out a swarm for the first time. In Palaeo Diet Pulp these mostly exist to be summoned by Witch Doctors or Mummies, but work perfectly well as a complication for a conventional hunt as well. I said I'd had an idea for depicting them better that the piece of cotton wool I was using, and here it is:

As you can see it's a piece of clear plastic mounted on a base with some unconvincing blobs painted on it to represent the insects. But it was quick and easy to make and from a distance looks the part. I'll make a couple more and be satisfied at that.

    1. That's true. I'd probbaly make it a bit bigger for use with 25mm figures.

      Once we've finished moving I'll make some more. Just packed all my paints and modelling stuff so I won't be doing much for a couple of weeks :)

  2. The swarm looks effective. I will have to remember the idea of using clear plastic.

  3. That looks the part, Kaptain 👍🏼. Nice one.

  4. Have you thought of cutting a slit down one and adding a second plastic piece in an X configuration? That might give you a more round look you can see from more angles.

    Looks good though!

    1. I did, but I went for the simpler approach. Palaeo Diet is mostly a solo game, so I can always make sure that it's turned to the only player :)
