From Barks: Giant alien fungi (40 points)

These are from a Mantic Terrain Crate. You can mix and match different alien jungle bits to your heart's content, and there are gaps for 5mm magnets. I matched rather than mixed, and stuck them together with hot glue, then hid the gaps a little with some quick Milliputting, and mounted them on MDF circles. They're decently tall, between 5"-8". I painted them with Army Painter SpeedPaints; Maggot Skin & Sand Golem; Howling Sand and Dusk Red. I also did some smaller ferny bits. 28mm figure for size.






7 tall fungi, 3 small ferns

----------

These are some great looking alien terrain bits Barks.  While they are simple paint jobs, they are highly effective and look great!  Great colour choices as well, the yellow and purple help with that whole alien feel.  

I am going to count each of the large ones as about the same as a figure and then the 3 small together as the same.  So you are getting 40 points for the lot of them.  Great work.

  1. I like these very atmospheric - sorry but I immediately expected Captain Kirk to appear stage right ( or is that left) . Anyway colour choices are great rich threatening red and suspiciously ochre yellow-great modelling
