OK so, i am intending to run a small campaign one of the Battles will take place in a Spacehulk, respectively the laboratory a Arch Heretek has built within one.
I want basically a "Neutral" danger that is a Daemon completely (more or less) made out of Cables.
Basically it whould be Forgiefiend/DP sized.

How would you go about such a project.

Guitar strings and a GS cable maker.

I will probably take normal electircal, since well that is what i have acees in raw quantities too.

How would you go about forming it, would you make a skeleton first?

Great Idea, I look forward to seeing the end result !

Well the lower half of that thing is all wires and tentacles :

I used GS cable maker, electrical wires of different sizes, and metal strings.

In order to place them into shape, I started forming the metal wires, that will stay into shape on their own, then attched the electrical wires and plastic ones, glued them to the metal ones so that the thing stays in place. Last were the greenstuff wires, that I mostly used in order to fill the most obvious gaps in the structure.

It can also help to tie all the cables together on one end, tie them together with metal wiring, then heavily glue them in PVA. This way you have a strong spot that lets you shape the rest of the thing.

I also relied on the base in order to maintain stuff together. And after the basecoat spray, went for a second round of greentuff filling, as the paint made obvious some areas that would be impossible to paint.

Have fun !

Hmm, interesting, not quite what i was looking for but interesting and usefull.

i did some thinking and came to the conclusion that i want it to be formed like a cable roll that towers over other things with 2 /3 arms (potentially will use the left over parts from my forgefiend) and some eaten CSM / Dark Mechanicus acolythes that try to crawl out of it.
Basically the thing will have probably a form like an upside down tornado.
I am wondering though how to make a face or if a should just use multiple ones or leave it completely faceless..
