Mutant Plants!?

These have been sitting on my workbench, mostly finished for far too long. Like, for YEARS! A few weeks ago I decided to spend a moment and just finish them off... but didn't get around to finishing up the bases until last night!?

Mutant Plants!

I think the miniatures were from one of the Reaper Bones kickstarters...?

While they could be some nasty carnivorous plant in some Death World jungle, I thought they might also be fun to use as Mutant Plants in a post-apocalyptic warband for use with Mutants and Death-Ray Guns... Or maybe Mutant Crawl Classics...? 

I'd thought of naming them - and even writing their names on their bases, but couldn't decide on names... I thought maybe plant names that are also people names, like Fern and Rose... Or maybe something boring like Bob and Jo... or maybe after some other character pair like Bert and Ernie or Thelma and Louise... 

Anybody out there in bloggerland have any fun ideas for names for Mutant Plants!?

On other news... 

I've been assembling and prepping some Emperor's Children from the Champions of Slaanesh box I picked up back in March. I've also been converting a few of the Chaos Space Marines I already had to look more like the Tormentors and Infractors of the Emperor's Children. Also started working on the Lord Exultant again.

While doing all this I've been listening to Renegades: Lords of Excess, which was fun. It was refreshing to see the Emperor's Children NOT portrayed as all-drug-adled-psychopath-BDSM-torture-daemons-all-the-time! 

Of course that's got me thinking even MORE about 40K again (and Wrath & Glory... and possibly returning to Blackstone Fortress when we finish the Cursed City campaigns!)

  1. Audrey III and Audrey IV?

    Or to make that inspiration completely wrong: Seymour and C. Les Plant.

  2. I also some of those plants I need to finish! They are from Reaper; they are called death star lillies.

    1. Hopefully this will inspire you to finish yours...?

      Yeah I thought they might have been from one of the Bones Kickstarters we backed years ago!

      thanks!

  4. Cool plant minis; excellent paint jobs!

    By the way, I finished painting my latest batch of Starcadia quest minis. And now I am on a mission to rebase a bunch of other minis I had previously painted, from larger round plastic bases to smaller round plastic bases, both with fender washers glued to the bottom to make them bottom heavy and able to stick to magnets. :lol:
