I'd suggest you mix some of the brighter plants in with others( to add variety and so there is not an overly large contrast between clumps of foliage(as in real life you get plants of different colours etc but they do not all grow in one place by colour code)) but the plants themselves looks good. In my view they are cool and compared with the official games workshop killteam deathworld plant/ trees (which I am not a fan of) are not silly looking.

If you're going to put washes on them I'd give them a liberal spray or two(the more the merrier) with hairspray to lacquer over the paint(and hopefully protect it) I found that it worked to a degree.
(in that I actually had to try to scrape the paint off with a knife before it came away(that was 2 sprays)

I wonder if the producers of those plants decided to contact GW in regards to them using their plants in advertising without consent? Lol.

What makes you think that's a thing? Do you think you have to get consent from whoever made the actor's clothes in an advertisement? The company that made the wallpaper and the drywall and the electrical outlets?


LOL do you think GW cares about liberally borrowing other people's work and ideas in the first place. If anyone was going to contact GW for this I don't think it would be merely about a few plants it would literally be half the universe.

BTW I think they actually look like purpose made hobby plants, group called Joefix studios makes in their nam-plant range. Basically the same though but a bit more $.

Looking forwards to seeing finished pieces.

If you haven't already watched the Burma build videos by Mel the Terrain Tutor I'd suggest bingeing them.
Provides a lot of interesting ideas (which you can be translated to a lot of projects let alone jungle ones) and information for using different materials and how to do it reasonably cheaply.

My personal suggestion is if you want a damp mossy forest, mix water and PVA, paint it on surfaces/vegetation/ground and sprinkle fine turf everywhere.
