Thanks guys. Good idea on the tree herders, even if they do look quite evil !
Not sure what babies they’d produce though . Haha
@DreadNort they’re ‘laser plants’ from gamers grass, although I got them from Dark Sphere as they have a physical shop and I like to support FLGS. Dark Sphere - Gamers Grass

how did you find them, I was looking at them but the edges are my main concern once punched out.

Those look great!
What base size are they on and which armies do you have to fit them into.

Greater Earth Elementals if on a 75mm or tree herders if on a 50mm.
Otherwise the giant equivalent of what you’re playing (i’m guessing they’re on 75mm).

@DarkBlack They’re on 75mm bases because they’re pretty bulky.
Currently, I’ve got goblins and kingdoms of men / Rhordia. I’m also in the process of putting together a rift forged orc army, and sorting out who has survived lead rot (don’t get me started) among my elves and dwarves to see if armies can be created out of them

@Gerrcinn Apparently they were very easy to get out of the sheets with no breakages. Some required a bit of force, but didn’t effect the end result. My wife was very surprised at the level of detail in them, as you can see from the photos.
The bracken and monstera both had very fine stems, so she needed to drill holes in the MDF bases, insert them and PVA glue them in. Banana leaves were just leaves, so you can get good contact with the glue so no need to drill holes.
Once the glue had set we’ve been twisting and shaping them with no issues at all. ( Although they’re only a week old!)

yeah I saw those images and they look good but I was more concerned with a lot of white edges showing, pretty much every photo I’ve seen have them curled away from the camera and I’m just wondering if they stand out much.

Ah sorry. No any white on the edges isn’t noticeable to me at all.
I was initially worried about them because you don’t paint them yourself, but certainly mixed in with other grass etc, I think they look good

You could alway touch up any more obvious bits with ink etc

good to know, thanks

Most of those armies get giants or greater earth elementals!

My condolences on having to deal with lead rot.

Little more progress on the “mammoth” build

Thanks @Sceleris Greater earth elementals / giants may become very prevalent!
I’m following George R R Martin’s advice to treat lead rot. I’ll see how it works out

Working more on this guy. I made the paint too thick once again. I never notice until I take the pictures.

(For Monster March, of course)

Not monsters by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s been so long since I posted any results here that I’m sharing them anyway: two troops of ‘Brotherhood Centaurs’ for my Green Lady army:

While I should be working on my Monster March knights (there’s some progress there, too, fortunately) I also finished two other small projects:

The first is a converted Gur Panther from an Elohi ship.

I posted the conversion process here:

I also finished an Armada Phoenix as a small "in between"project.
