For my unit of Obsidian Guard I want to make masked minis. I’m using the standard CD axe-men, but what do you guys think is the easiest way to add masks to the models? Sculpt them on each model individually? Or got an easier solution?

Skulpt can take time, i favour making one you really like, make it simple, make mold using the green stuff method and then add some detain after.

black hammer:

Nitro;s right. if you make a cool mask, other than trying to sculpt a replica, just make a simple green-stuff mold. Especially for large units.

Hashut’s Blessing:

As has been suggested, it’s a good idea to make one you like (if you want them all to be the same) or a few (if yhou want some variety) and then cast them (whether using GS or resin or what-have-you). It helps to maintain consistency throughout the quality of the masks and will speed things up exponentially.

For details on how to GS mould and cast, do a search for Xander’s guide.

Ogrob:

I sculpt mine individually, but keep them pretty simple.

Though I imagine you’re thinking of a different style to what I do. I’d advise trying both methods, because sticking a mask on with glue might make it look like it dosn’t really belong on the model.

bas_2312:

I’m just sculpting them on. Yesterday I tried it out, and as it turns out, it’s really easy to sculpt masks. I did five of them in less than 20 minutes.

But thanks anyway for the replies :smiley:
