Arty Harridan

[babyripper]

So I’m considering buying a Harridan. My list contains an unreasonable amount of flying creatures (about 120 gargoyles, 2 hive crones and 2 harpies, plus a flyrant for synapse). To top it off I’d like the giant bird to be the centrepiece.

Thing is I think it’s is far to large to be as low to the ground as it is with the default base, so I’ll probably make a more stable base and have a tall metal rod holding it up (making it 20+cm off the table). I’d love to make it into some kind of diorama or something with gargoyles flying alongside it (and the ones that can be attached to the underside), but obviously don’t want a separate metal rod for every single gargoyle flying next to the thing. Any ideas how I could model it to be flying alongside? (I was thinking maybe thin wire sticking from the body of the harridan to the gargoyle).

Any other tips or suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks in advance,

Fishing wire, hang the gargoyles under the wings?

Another option: Attach them to the main rod in a ‘cloud’-type swarm connecting wings to backs, tails, etc. Maximize connection points.

... I hope I’m describing this in a remotely useful way...

Ah I get what you mean with that. It would definitely be easier but not sure if I like to idea of them all connecting, I’d probably like to leave gaps between them (so they take up more room and don’t look like some kinda gargoyle mutant creature).

Is fishing wire rigid or is it flexible? I’ll look into that
