Warp Rift


I needed a warp rift for my renegade armies so I created this.

The rift is polished agate froma magic shop. Magic shops are a great source of interesting bitz and are often found near Games Workshops.

The base is from Troll Trader in Newquay (where I was born). I painted the screaming faces in layers using colours on the other side of the colour wheel from the rift to get a contrast.

The rocks are slate gray layers. I tried to 'light' them from energy spilling out of the rift.

I put this one on Cool Mini or Not.

  1. Brilliant! Such a simple idea (never occurred to me to use crystals in this specific way before) and yet looks great! Much better than some other modelled out of coloured perspex, etc. This has a nice creepy organic look.

  2. I think this qualifies as "thinking outside the box".

    Superb!
