Welcome back to the forum.
Are you planning on more weapon variants of the naga? If so, may i suggest tridents - seems to fit this race. I play World of Warcraft a lot, and in that game a lot of naga carry tridents - would love to have a couple of figures inspired by that game.

This is great!
I was just looking at your HOARD entries from a while back last night thinking, "Man, I wonder what he's up to now?"
Great to have you back!

Good to hear. BTW, your Otyugh model is often the star in my childrens chaotic incursions into my games. "The Zeroids on the treeline are down but now an Otyugh is charging the command vehicle! No, wait, it wants to have an ice-cream party with the Major. Stand down." ;D

I actually found the easiest way was to draw the tab in Paint, believe it or not. I just did a little maths to work out the pixel dimensions (4x20mm, multiplied by 600dpi since I was working double sized and 300dpi), then drew and filled the appropriate sized rectangle in black. The advantage with Paint here is that you can actually draw in pixels, as if you zoom in to the right degree the grid actually shows the individual pixels. Then of course I changed the colour of the bottom row of pixels (to red in my case), then copied and flipped the tab upside down. That way, I'd got the two sides of the tab, with a red fold-line along the middle.

Heh, that's one way of doing it. ;D Tell you what, download these. These are my tabs, which I made to attach to figs with 25mm bases. They work out at 4mm by 20mm, which is how Jim rigs them (so you can, if you decide to, fit them into a 20mm base instead). The smaller file prints at the above dimensions at 300dpi, and the larger one at 600dpi. If you're attaching it to a figure at double size to scale it down later, use the large tab. If you want to mod the tabs so they come out at different widths, open them up in Paint and add 59 pixels to the width for every 5mm you want to add (to the 300dpi version; add 118 pixels to the 600dpi). 300dpi: 600dpi:
