Snakes can be made into jungle swarms for lizardmen or just used for basing lizardmen.
1) Roll out a strip of putty.
2) Roll one end of the putty thinner than the other, this will be the tail
3) Flatten the other, this will be the head.
4) Pose your snake.
5) Poke in eye holes, this is you done unless you want to make a specific type of snake.
for a rattle snake: cut the tip off its tail then put it back on, this part will be painted a different color.
for a cobra: pinch the sides of the neck.
