More like Flimsy Balloons of Derp when they deepstrike mishap, but they're cheap and cheerful and fun to play. This was my first attempt at sculpting with Milliput. I can safely say that the stuff is hard wearing, given the number of times I dropped them during the tournament. I did bolster the tentacles with 1mm brass rods, so that must have helped.
I found Milliput less versatile than Green/Grey stuff. Trying to get a smooth, consistent finish was difficult. It doesn't hold it's shape as well as epoxy resin when its still wet. On the other hand, when I tried to reposition a tentacle which was nearly dry, I snapped it. I guess I just need more practice but I wasn't particularly happy with the finished result.
I was also rushing to finish and converting/painting a Flyrant at the same time (which wasn't complete when I went to Maelstrom VIII, but nobody noticed. ha ha!). Not a good time to start experimenting. Anyway, they're done now. I just need to weight the bases to make them more stable.
