I used blocks made of lead to give them a little extra weight as well. This way they are off the ground at a believable height, and I added a dimensionality to them that a flat casing can't provide.
The fire beetles are cast flat in greenstuff in a one-piece mold (insta-mold material) but when I glued them to the base, I first glued a block (of off-cut lead) to the base and mounted the beetle on top of this, and then folded his legs down to glue them to the base. Scratch-made giant fire beetle miniatures 04" black plasticard base perfectly lessens the hold of the magnet to where they nicely stay put without holding so fast there's danger of breakage when I slide them off. When it melts it seems to run to the spot I want it least to go.Ī surprise bonus to this basing method is that I can store the stirges on a metal plate with each stirge atop a rare earth magnet. Even after watching a number of how-to videos and buying recommended solder and flux, I'm nowhere close to getting solder to cooperate. I cut squares from steel shingle and rigged up a jig using a "helping hands" tool, a mechanics square and a magnet, holding a pin to the helping hands with a magnet and lining it up with the mechanics square. After experimenting with drilling a hole in the base and keeping a pin at 90 degrees with greenstuff, I decided soldering was the way to go. The hardest part came at the end, with the making of the flight stands.
Making the stirthe hardest part about making of the stirges. Once per day a celestial giant fire beetle can make a normal melee attack to deal 1 point of extra damage against an evil foe.See my previous post for more on the making of the stirges. These celestial creatures are commonly summoned by the summon monster I spell. Giant fire beetles are about 2 feet long. The glands’ luminosity persists for 1d6 days after removal from the beetle, illuminating a roughly circular area with a 10-foot radius. They have two glands, one above each eye, that produce a red glow.
These luminous nocturnal insects are prized by miners and adventurers. 16 (+1 size, +5 natural), touch 11, flat-footed 16ĭarkvision 60 ft., vermin traits, resistance to acid 5,Ĭold 5, and electricity 5, spell resistance 6
