This weekend I made six sludge jellies for Necromunda. These are another weird critter from the Outlanders supplement. They reside in the sludge lakes & industrial effluent pools found in the Underhive, & rise to the surface to ensnare passing creatures or gangers with their stinging tendrils. Once paralysed, victims are slowly dragged into the sludge pool in a rule called 'Gooing Gooing Gone' in the book :-D
Each of my sludge jellies is made from half a pistachio shell for the body, topped with a crest sculpted from Green Stuff putty. The tendrils are from Black Cat Bases, & the laser-cut ply bases are from Fenris Games, textured with coarse paint thickener.Most sludge jellies are around 1-3ft across, like these ones. But some that live in the sump sea, or have been growing in stagnant ponds for centuries can be very large... I am working on a couple of larger ones currently...
Brilliant stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, they were fun to make :-)
DeleteI don't remember slime jellies from the necromunda bestiary. Have you considered giving these guys a coat of gloss to make them seem more slimy?
ReplyDeleteThey (& the sludge) do have a coat of gloss, but it was a particularly overcast day when I took the photos, so it doesn't show well - I will probably give them a second coat.
DeleteHave you thought about making them translucent?
DeleteHa! I suppose you could make some in DIY resin, they'd look really cool, but it'd be a lot of work.
DeleteSweeeeeeet - I really dig those!
