Illithid Warband and others: Elementalist conversion update

Reaper has a number of human-sized illithids with two arms and two legs in addition to the hulking snake-bodied ones.

Oh, yeah, I'm aware of those, they're pretty good. I Especially like the pirate one. But I don't need any more illithids. I was talking about the four-legged brain creatures. In D&D they look like this:

Great stuff again.
What do you use for snow effects?

Sorry, missed this - I just used some green stuff. I probably wouldn't try using it if I weren't going for that sort of cartoon look of the FF minis.

Ah! My bad, no worries

Otherworld Miniatures makes an Intellect Devourer, but it's a big beastie (25mm to the top of it's head, on a 40mm base):

There are a couple in the D&D and Pathfinder pre-paints too.

Thanks, I had a look at those. The brain part is cool but what's up with those legs? I suppose it might be possibly to sculpt legs that would suit.

Update on the elementalist I posted above, about 90% completed. Just need to work on a few details, highlights, in particular the base. Taking a lot longer than I expected and feeling a bit out of my depth on this one. Suggestions much appreciated:

Lovely figure and a cracking paint job

I like that a lot. Great hair.

Everything looks awesome!! Lovely theme, well executed!

Thanks folks. I was feeling a little defeated about it for a while as it just seemed to look worse and worse the more I worked on it, but I think it's coming together now. I still find it difficult to see past the flaws when I look at it, but I'm starting to enjoy it now. The one thing I do feel happy about is the composition, if that's the right word - it has more kind of drama and impact than anything else I've made/painted.

It's looking fantastic!

One word: awesome!

Perhaps the best paintscheme on a firewizzard i've seen ! Well done !
