I'm looking at any suggestions for creating a Warpstone look for the trohies to my upcoming tourney.

I have looked into plexiglass, but that becomes costly...

Any other ideas?

Warpstone look...humm...if you feel you can live without a "translucid" look you could get away with it just with regular plasticard (or even cardboard) to shape the warpstone, and get away with it, with a quite easy paint job.

I've seen a few "warpstone counters" back in the days of mordheim (...) with a black undercoat, a drybrush of "dark angels" green (or any sort of very dark green), and a few coats of lighter green (going lighter with every coat till its white or almost white) in the vertexes of the of the warpstone geometric shape.
You can even do a few sparkles (if the stone is not too small) the same way of the vertexes.

Hope it helped.

Broken glass.
Tint it green with watered down paint, it works and looks great i'll try and find a pic for you.

Like others have suggested, I used gem shaped beads, filled the holes with a little green stuff, then painted with a mix of Chaos Black and Dark Angels Green then highlighted up on the crystal edges with Gloss Varnish to finish and give it a reflective sheen.

You could also look at using the translucent plastic sprue bits that GW makes templates/necron stuff out of.

I have a bunch if you need it.

When thinking of warpstone I really think of shards or rough gems rather then the man made shapes.

I think I would personally order a few green glass beads and pound and grind them until IÂ´m happy with a few of the shapes that come out
