Giant Cacti

 There are no shortage of tutorials for making these classic giant cacti for your oldhammer 40k board. Mine are pretty rough and ready, and were very quick to make. I cut a little flat spot on each of these of polystyrene balls (cheap from the craft shop after Christmas). Then I speared them liberally with cocktail sticks, sometimes using the sticks to join a small one to a big one. Then I sprayed them with Army Painter Army Green spray. The spray ate into the polystyrene a little, but I think this is OK and it's given the cacti some texture. Then I sponged them with a little Averland Sunset paint, with scraps from a washing up sponge. Lastly, I painted the spines with Wild Rider Red. Done!

 I don't remember what the base model for this kit bash was. I think it was some sort of metal pulp space pilot type character I got in ...
