I usually make my figurines out of ABS. Great material that vacuum forms easy and works and machines well. I buy it online from http://hightechplastics.com/ Great material and highly recommend them

Look vs. physics 1:0!
Excellent idea. As usual your blog is a great source for technics which never have been thought about. Great. I am sure that I will have a project with heat forming in the near future!

The how they get it moving is easy, they are ramped up on Mad Cap Mushroom beer. This apparently gives them a huge strength boost. There are rules for using Mad Cap shrooms in mordinheim.

The actual effect of the beer may be stronger than the mad cap mushroom cap since the source material I found mentioned they drink it 3-4 hours beffore the battle whilst popping a cap during a battle so your just in the warm up phase of the full effect. The process of making the shroom brew may also alter its chemical make up but wargamming needs Mycology as much as it needs physics =]

Sure, but then if you’re going to worry about physics, how would a Golbin that size get a solid metal ball to spin in the first place. Plus they’re meant to be smashing through enemy (hopefully) troops as well!

Thinging about it, the chains should be straight because when spun the balls centrifugal gravity would hold it straight, but that is a poog way to convey motion in a static model.

They look a lot better for being bent and its for the same reason I dont use GW flying bases, the straight stick looks static whilst a bent bit of brass rod or a bent nail looks a lot more dynamic.
