THE SECRETS OF SCULPTING

SIMPLE TENTACLES

Tentacles are a staple for the Chaos player. You can wrap a tentacle around a new weapon or just have six or so sprouting from the side of a Champion. Any way you use them, tentacles add that special touch to units of Chaos Warriors and their kin. Here, we'll add three tentacles to a Chaos Hound. How to make the paper clip armature shown in the first picture can be found here.

Stage 1 Stage 2

The armature is dry and ready for some putty.

Wrap putty around each of the armatures.

Stage 3 Stage 4

The rough shape of things to come. I'll briefly show you a few different tentacle tricks. Try one, none, or all of 'em!

You can make smooth tentacles by rubbing your finger over the appendage with water repeatedly.

Stage 5 Stage 6

See, nice and smooth.

A rougher, more fleshy tentacle requires a sculpting tool.

Stage 7 Stage 8

Random jabs with a sculpting tool do the trick nicely.

Elongate a tentacle with your fingers.

Stage 9 Stage 10

Add a tiny curve to the end of thin tentacles.

Simple patterns can be made with your sculpting tool.

Stage 11 Stage 12

A few lines of well-placed dots created this effect.

Who needs a hind leg when you have three tentacles!
