I would like to see ground and Flying swarms. I've been playing a lot of Diablo 3 lately and realized I've never seen swarm based minis. I have several Ideas on how ground based or crawling swarms might be made but I can't think of any way of doing a flying swarm without a bunch of wires connecting the bugs to the base. That's fine for a single flying creature but 5-9 bugs on wires just doesn't look very good.

cool, I guess you could also suspend them in a cylinder of resin. I didn't think of that until I saw the bat cube.

not using hot glue is important. i tryed making a cube like this but used hot glue and the result was so disastrous that i just ripped it apart. also some of the bats wouldn'T hold in the hot glue.
so some advice dont use hot glue, use clear glue for it.
also, bones reapers have a few good swarms for those who wants them. fits into any d&d games with ease. bought a few. they have scarab swarms, rat swarms and spider swarms. really tiny to paint details. but still worth it. best of all they are dirt cheap.

Yeah, doing a flying swarm like Bela's with wires painted black usually looks fine. The only time I don't like it is when the critters are also black, in which case I would probably leave the wires bare.

some wires are so small that it doesn'T really matter. i mean take pipe cleaners for exemples. and their advantages is that you can actually move the forms around.
