Wow! That looks a lot like what gw does. Nice tutorial to. Ni!

Conduct While Gaming
While rolling a die, do not say, “Anything but a 1!” unless you wish the die to come up as 1. Any other such attempts to anger the “Dice Gods” will result in the existential equivalent of continuously flipping a coin and having it come up heads every time (for reference, see Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead). Your dice will be cursed to roll ones for everything other than morale checks, which will come up sixes.

ORK PLAYERS HAVE A LIMIT OF 1 SCREAMS OF WAAAAAAGH PER HOUR. violators will be forced to play tau.

Players with chimeras and las weapons shall pronounce chimera ki-mere-uh, not chim-ere-uh. Violators will be forced to play nothing but world eaters. Non-40k personnel must purchase and build a chimera.

Glad you guys like it. Not all that complicated really, just have to be patient and do things in the right order.

Wow, no wonder it looks good... there are a lot of steps . The static grass tips are great, I really couldn't get it looking natural on mine and decided to forgo it for now (may try going back and adding some after this).

Nice work. Very similar to my method. I have been meaning to get some of the taller grass bundles, but was waiting to see an effective method of mounting. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks all.

@Sarpedon: One thing I've learned since posting the tut (I should update it), is that it really helps the long-term stability of the tall grass if you add a little bit of static grass around it's base. It make the base of the grass bundle essentially wider and much more stable, so it's harder to knock it off center or off entirely (which can happen with enough rough handling).
