My latest sculpting job, two "Thoqqua", or fire worms. These were new ones to me, but apparently are D&D monsters, and from the information I was given are creatures related to fire elementals, which burrow underground, launching surprise attacks on thier victims by bursting up through the ground and stabbing them with their red hot pointy snouts. Quite a nice job to do; no hands, no faces, not much detail at all, just the segmented bodies, resembling I suppose heat affected rock. The one on the left is in the process of emerging, the one on the right fully emerged. Both are 28mm scale (the bases are 25mm square)

nice job, I would say something else but I have no idea what a Thoqqua looks like apart from the description you gave So going off that, they look pretty cool, or should I say hot

yeah, I had no idea what they looked like either! I had to go off one piece of artwork, and a sculpt someone else had done (which wasn't as good as mine obviously )

Yeah no worries at all... I had one model fall off a shelf, thats it... the model didnt even break, It was the only one not glued to its base.

It was just recently I saw footage of the damge, I was amazed, I can still remember that main street well. Like your mayor says though, it's a good chance to rebuild the place tastefully.

I saw the one at wizards.com I think I also found a webpage which was the description you used.
I like yours better than the cool mini ones. they look all GW chitonus plate style. yours have a more weathered and worn 'I dig through earth and stab people in the face' look
