Since I’ve chosen Tyranid as my starting army, I’m looking for ways to add effects to my models to make them fit in with the nature of Tyranids (which is slimy biological weapons that I’ve heard called “giant dinosaur insects,” which while fairly wild is somewhat accurate in appearance.)
One of the very appropriate effects for Tyranids is slime and gore, like saliva (think Alien or Aliens, the movies.)
And, since this is primarily a creative endeavor (I’m not sure how serious about the gaming I’ll be, but the modeling and painting is itself a neat hobby and is symbiotic with my photography hobby), now I need to look for ways to make my new hobby inexpensive. Games Workshop’s PVA glue is (from what I’ve been reading) the same thing as Elmer’s Glue (like the stuff you used in kindergarten and crafts… a wood glue.)
