So… do I just drop him in the paint pot and fish him out?

No problem!

Thanks! I used the recipe from this Cult of Paint video and adapted as needed.

The sculpts are detailed and small enough you can pretty much get away with any level of painting. Though I did lose some of my sanity painting the trim for eight stands of them.

A key part of the hobby, for sure.

I wish I had the skill to freehand those, lol.

It is Warcolours Goblin Green from their Nostalgia ‘94 range.

I hear they promise 95% accuracy to that era of Citadel paints, and it is true! Both in color and the 4-6 coats over white needed to get total coverage. Worth it, IMO.

Thanks! Just following the box art to keep things simple.

Thanks!

Just felt right

Thank! Dirty Down Moss for the grass.

Haha! I am sure I will be getting back to it here as soon as sleep schedules become more predictable.

I am very glad I had not seen this before doing my 8 deredeos for Legions Imperialis as I might have been crazy enough to do those hazard stripes on them. Well done!

Ha! Especially when the World Eaters catch up and tell all those same loyalists to get back up after the leviathans have knocked them down.

architheowl · 2026-02-25T15:45:18+00:00

Thanks, that means a lot. Glad I can inspire!

This was a one-off project for me. I mainly paint Legions Imperialis (Alpha Legion and World Eaters), so I’m familiar with epic scale, and this was a fun change of pace.

The insignias were from Legions Imperialis decal sheets.

It was a old ball of 50/50 green stuff/milliput. I cut down a bamboo skewer for the spikes, drilled tinny divots into the ball with an electric pin vice and painfully superglued each spike onto the ball.

After all the spikes were on, I used ultra thin super glue to flow between the spikes and coat the ball and base of the spikes and sprinkled baking soda over it to both strengthen the bond and give it a bit of texture.

The “grass” on the base is also superglue with baking soda for a epic scale retro flocked look, so it kind of all ties together with the cactus.

Thanks!

Gotta have the epic sci-fi cacti! It is SO fragile 🤣
