Group shot
I thought I’d added this. Here’s a group shot. Taken on the floor of my craply lit hallway, because I couldn’t be arsed moving all the shit off my dining table.
Flag-waving Turd Mounds
I did the main body of these things with Snakebite Leather to tie them in to the fungi. This made them unfortunately look like jobbies. The stalks were painted in Xereus Purple and the sails were painted with Warplightning.
Space Succulents
I did all the green bits in Creed Camo. I know all my space plants are green but I’m a bitch for chlorophyll. The teeth were done with Imperial Fist. The fleshy part was done with Volupus Purple.
Snaky-tendril doofers
I did the bottom of the plants with Creed Camo. I still wanted green for the stems, so I used Militarum Green, which is similar, but different (and a bitch to shake up). The flowers are Sigvald Burgundy and the horrible tongue things were done with Frostheart.
Toothy Stalks and Chitinous Tendrils
The tooth stalks were quick and easy. The main body was done in Creed Camo and the teeth were done in Imperial Fist.
The chitinous tendrils were also quick and easy. I did the bottom in Snakebite Leather and the coiled lobster stalk in Flesh-Tearers Red.
Toothy-sail things
For these whatever-they-are I started with the teeth, which I painted with Imperial Fist contrast. The sails were done in Leviathan purple. The flesh of the plant was done in Creed Camo. The stems of the flowers (anthers?) were done in Snakebite Leather to tie them in with the fungi. And finally for the club like parts of the flowers I used Volupus Pink.
Its all about the base
These were zenithalled like the rest. The more leafy looking ones were done in Creed Camo and the smoother ones were done in Snakebite Leather.
More fungus
I did the rest of the fungus trees in the same manner as the first lot. Inquisitor for scale in the second picture.
