I've decided on Asphyxious2 as one of my two primary casters (alongside Deneghra1) in my list pairing. Naturally this means he's next up to be painted. Sadly, I really hate his basing. That soul "swirl" takes up the entire base, leaves almost no room for creativity, and just looks silly. I'm trying to come up with some ideas that match my current ice theme. I'm stumped, so I'm reaching out for help. Any ideas out there as to what I can do with him? So far my two favorite bases have been the Wraith Engine (clay + rocks + water + crackle) and the Machine Wraith (literally cut a slayer chassis in half) so I'm willing to put in the time to make this one amazing.

Finally got something after a brainstorming session. Set Asphyxious up on a rock with a flat(ish) top to give myself some room to work. Got out my two spare Blackbanes and cut them off at the legs/waist with some wire cutters; which strangely worked better than the dremel cutting them. I have them coming out of the ground to represent his Feat. (not in picture) I have three souls around the base that reach up to Asphyxious's torso, heading towards him. The fourth soul I have in his hand, as if he grabbed it out of the air. Mostly because Gaspy2 has this weird "grasping" hand that's just... out there. Not doing anything. Add in a bit of snow to the ground and I think it's set for priming.   nightmareempire.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/0032.jpg |

That's a really cool idea, I'm looking forwards to seeing it when it's done.

I love the effect you've managed for the ghosts/souls, and the fire in the broken skulls looks fantastic!

Highly approve. I also am not a fan of the soul swirl and have been wondering what to do with mine. Your execution is really neatly done and looks great!

By the way, why don't you post the final model in the painting forum?
