And it is obviously unbased.

Model's right but the matt varnish drybrush on the hair could have used a little matt medium wash just to make it less chalky and visible. I wouldn't have painted eyes this way but hey! this is chaos right?
Round base you sure?

That's one well inspired model for a completely silly mutation combo! 
Great job.

Wait, I messed up, that was a different invisible model I painted for another project. 
That guy looks cool Bluey, not an easy set of mutations to even visualize in my overactive imagination. I will definitely get on to this project at some stage in the future when I have not got so many other projects in the pipeline - I will pick up some of the ones that nobody else takes on and give it them some Bismarkification.
On the subject of invisible guys I remember playing in a big Realms of Chaos campaign years ago and one of my mates rolled a 4x sized invisible dragon ogre. His model was basically a flocked base with 4 paw prints that was 4 times the size needed to fit a standard classic dragon ogre

I'm still considering casting (yeah I know it's wrong) a model in crystal resin to make it look invisible in a more elegant way... I think there are many ideas to be used this way.

Cast it in crystal meth.

Thanks guys.
On the subject of invisibility - ask yourself - if you have ever played DnD, how did you detect the invisible things? In movies, how can the invisible be seen?
We cannot see the wind - only it's effects. So here are a few ideas.
Displacement - hollow shapes in water, snow shapes (like in League of extraordinary gentlemen) or water spray that reveals the hidden shape. Foot prints - in the sand, in the mud, in the snow.
The invisible man whose coat and hat (or helmet) do not turn invisible with him (or weapons).
Shadows!
It can be done!

I was thinking of doing something with partial invisibility, maybe something inspired by the phantom limb from the venture bros like a floating torso

I had not estimated necessary to specify this...
but I thought that sculpting the "visible" form of an invisible champion was the way everyone would go...
Now if anyone feels like working with clear plastic and the surrounding terrain elements, go for it!

Started on a Champion of Nurgle
861-865 Orc - Invisibility, Technology - Bolter, Mane of Hair, Resilient, FP1
first sketch with ideas:
and the mini so far pre greenstuffing:
the separate components:
So the original idea was to connect the floating torso using a sword hung to the waist, but then I found that space wolf back with the cape that was just perfect and a far more elegant solution then trying to hang a sword on his wais tto connect everything, there's a pin on the wolfcape that connects it to the base.
the torso is an upside down plastic space marine torso, but will add some greenstuf detailing to hide the fact. might still add another ring of plasticard to extend the waist down, or maybe try to give him some sort of codpiece or loincloth, although once I add the bolter the gaping hole will be covered a bit more so maybe that won't be necessary. The bolter will be pinned in place across his chest, and a pair of shoulderpads will be added.
the original idea was to give him a head from a confrontation (rackham) orc brute with a greenstuff mane, but now I'm even thinking of keeping him headless, or try to make an empty floating half helmet or something
anyway still lots to do but I just wanted to show of the idea

I like what I see... and what I don't... 
Anyway good job!
I also have some material coming together, if at least there could be less warm sunny days so I can justify to get in the basement

Behold!
Gladdishiet the Enraged!
Nurgle 050 --- Dwarf --- Irrational hatred of elves, Manic fighter, manikin, levitation (7pts), regeneration, FP2
Decided to lose the spear, scimitar and hammer, but gave him a leg knife instead.
I'll try take some better photos in daylight, but here he is!

Gladdishiet the Enraged looks excellent.
