Making these models is fun and addictive, I couldn’t help myself in making up another one tonight. I keep trying to think of ways to sculpt a ‘sea’ themed cloak with the tools I have.
Fomorians are known to have one eye bigger than the other so I tried a bit of eye surgery. Should look okay when painted.
Also to help tie the whole force together, I put a few cloaks on some of the metal duplicates.
The new guy, another nice Snakeman weapon that looks wicked and cruel, very Fomorian.
When you walk by the sea,
and a claw grabs your knee,
That’s a Fomori.
I even tried a bit of a chain mail effect tonight for the first time. It takes a bit more time but is fun to do. This is a crude first attempt but I have ideas going forward for the next one.
Aquatic cloaks that double as a bit of added protection.

Look forward to seeing them painted.
ReplyDeleteWow they look amazing! I love to see Irish myth being represented!
ReplyDeleteIf you want a sea-themed cloak have you considered trying a square ended tool to press into the greenstuff to create a (fishing) net appearance? A small tool would seem best that can wiggled around to create different sizes and stretched elements.
ReplyDeleteNice idea Rob, I do have some shaped dental tools I could try. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteExcellent conversion work.
ReplyDeleteLove the poem!
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific project! Your Fomors look brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI have been cheerfully plagiarising your orc kitbashing ideas and may have to steal this one too. In the past, I've used snakemen bodies for beastmen (http://hobgoblinry.blogspot.com/2020/03/more-things-of-chaos.html); there's something about scaly bodies with more human heads that's primal and disturbing!
Are you going to try any animal-headed Fomors? I seem to recall that there are goat- and horse-headed instances in the stories.
I have a couple of horned chaos heads I’m going to use, I think that’s as beast man as I’m going to go. I’m very much in love with the North Sea concept. Glad you like the stuff, I think this will be a fun project.
ReplyDeleteOn second thoughts doing 'fish' net capes/cloacks/shawls would be much easier using the technique in this link:
