A Ponderously Prescient Pachyderm

Everything I've heard says that you can actually get away without the resistor on a watch battery because they have such a high internal resistance. That's what I did for my glowing-rune standing stones, just wrapped an LED on to a 2032 and tucked it up inside the thing. They'd burn nice and bright for hours and hours and hours.

You could probably do something similar to the translucent minis as is being done here: http://battlereporter.blogspot.com/2008/12/best-warhammer-fantasy-army-ever-seen.html

Quote from link: "The glowing hearts of the models were made from a keychain light mounted into the base. I sculpted all of the torsos, heads and other fiery bits, took a mold and cast them in clear resin. Then I assembled them around the LEDs and used paints and inks to give it the fiery colors. I ran fiber-optics into the eye sockets and as a trail of sparks behind some of the fireballs."

Alright, so maybe a bit much on the DIY scale, but the result seems pretty neat.
