The second henchman is now finished. I decided to give this guy a sling, since having a whole unit of Verminkin flinging rocks can be pretty handy. Back in the day, Games-Workshop used to sell sling arms for upgrading your models. After modeling a few myself, I wish that I'd invested in a few of them.
The sling turned out pretty well, though it's a bit on the large side. I was mostly concerned with making it solid.
The sling arm is a Clanrat spear arm. I actually left some of the shaft, which runs inside the sling, giving it some structure so that it's not just two thin strips of green stuff sticking up in the air. It's solid enough that I can grab the model by the sling without worrying, so I guess it paid off. Still, not doing a whole unit of these unless I come up with a better method (or track down some of those old GW sling arms).
