Lore of the Great Maw and Lore of Fire Spell Markers

So I've finally got around to doing some work on my spell markers.  I've identified the 7 spells that I regularly use that would benefit from a spell marker.

Lore of the Great Maw
1. Spine Marrow
2. Bullgorger
3.  Toothcracker
4. Trollguts

Lore of Fire
5. Cascading Fire Cloak
6. Flaming Sword of Rhuin
7. Fulminating Flame Cage

I had some extra cavalry bases laying around so I decided that I'd use them to house my spell markers.  I am in no way good at sculpting things with Green Stuff so rather than my usual Work In Progress photos I'm just putting up pictures the pieces as they are right now.

Spine Marrow


No greenstuff required here, so I was able to plow through this one.


Bullgorger


The text of the spell says that the Butcher eats the heart of an ogre or rhinox so that's why it's a heart. 

Toothcracker


Toothcracker says that the Butcher eats a handful of rocks to cast the spell.

Trollguts


I think these will come together a little better once they're painted, but as the name says it's supposed to be "Troll guts."  Think piece of intestine attached to the stomach.



Cascading Fire Cloak


I'm hoping this one comes together a little better once it's painted.  I had a spare cloak laying around and I sculpted some flames coming off it.  Not sure how I can put this on a base.  I'm thinking of putting the cloak on a gnoblar

Flaming Sword of Rhuin



I tried sculpting flames directly onto the sword, but A.  it didn't really come out like I liked it and B.  I didn't know how to to display the flaming sword.  So I come up with this idea of the swirling flame and having the hand (that I plan on painting as if on fire as well) coming out of it.  Sort of like the lady of the lake, only this is the ogre of the fire.


Fulminating Flame Cage



I have a guy to put in the middle of the wall of flames, but till they dry I'm not putting him down.
Eventually I'll think I'll have to make additional spell markers for the Lore of the great maw spells since they can be cast on more than 1 unit at a time.  I don't see myself running 2 Firebellys at once, and since the spells in the lore of fire can only target 1 unit at a time, I only need those 3.  Eventually I need to do some markers for the lores of Beasts, Heaven, and Death, but since I don't ever run those lores... it's not really worth my time.  



Not really worth it's own post, I also have 2 more traps in progress.  With boxes of Ogres, a couple hands that are using bear traps as Ironfists.  I cut out the hands, now have additional traps. Tomorrow I have to pick up some more primer to complete all the painting them.
