    Just painted up my slann last night, but I have this strange itch that I want to do something more with it. I just do happen to have a box of spirit host with no use. Back when the new models released I picked up two boxes and only painted up one box. So I figured why not use it for something creative? My idea is to clip off the head/arm part of a spirit host host, thud leaving a ghostly tail.. OR an opportunity to make it into a magic orb. Basically just create a ball an put at the end where the spirit host head used to be. Kinda like a fire ball.

    So here's the question. Say I wanted to do this and have 2-3 of these magic orbs - where to put then? The slann isn't exactly a dynamic model. My own thought was to have then whirl around the throne and I suppose that could work.

    Thoughts/ideas/opinions are very much welcome before I destroy a ghost :D

    Get converting the slann and make him dynamic.

    You could make a whirlpool effect with the orbs situated somewere

    Alright I tihnk maybe I wasn't too clear in my question.

    If you were to place the orbs where would you place them?

    I suppose just around the throne is fine, but I have a split feeling about that :p

    Need photos of the pieces going into this. Is the Slann assembled / fully glued?

    I like your idea of having them flying around the throne. If you're able to make 3 fireballs, I'd say make them float around his head height or higher in a circle as if he's ready to cast fireball/soul quench.

    They could be suspended on wire or attached to the throne if you're willing to scrape away a bit of pain to glue them
