Editing Endless Assets (section)

=== Simplified Endless Spelling Board ===

It’s interesting to note how varied the amount of “original assets” in the endless spell packs is. In the Malign Sorcery or Sylvaneth endless spell packs, there are models quite unlike anything else in the range: Pac-Man designed by Todd MacFarlane and a tree designed by Georgia O'Keeffe.

In others, there’s conspicuous asset re-use, like the Fyreslayers' <s>spell</s> MAGMIC INVOCATION<sup>TM</sup> which is just the prismatic palisade with some runes stapled on. Other kits come off worse. The Tzeentch ones are a particularly wasted opportunity. Endless spells were a great opportunity to represent Tzeentch’s central theme on the tabletop. 

The changer’s MAIN FOCUS is magic, so what beautifully horrific abstractions do his disciples cast? Lord of change heads, apparently. Each of the three Tzeentchian endless spells are just existing assets (LoC heads, a book from the Flaming Chariot kit and a Tzeentchian banner sigil) with some fire effects. You've seen more Lovecraftian ''No Fear'' apparel.

The Slaanesh spells hardly come off better. While the Mesmirizing Mirror seems an original sculpt (though grasped by a re-used Keeper of Secrets claw), the Dreadful Vissage is a blown up Daemonette head (a size it was clearly never meant to look good at) with Hellstrider whip barbs for a tongue. Then, The Wheels of Excruciation are literally just the bladed wheels from the Hellflayer thrown together. At least those will successfully intimate anyone who has tried to put one of those fucking things together...
