Punching out a Monster

Armed with my new Greenstuff World branch punch i dissected a can of Monster and punched out about 55 metal branches for basing. Time again i would probably be able to get 80 or more out of it, but i was very wary  / cautious of opening an aluminium can and it was my first time using the punch.

I found it easier to punch through from the outside of the can inward for some reason. I also found it uncomfortable to push the punch down with the heel of my thumb and palm. I found pressing down hard with one thumb and then adding extra pressure with the other thumb on top was the best technique for me. I also took the precaution of using a work glove for extra grip and avoiding getting cut on some jagged edges made when initially breaking into the can.

I laid down globs of blu tac to stand the branches in for ease of priming. I used Death Guard Green primer spray.

I used Citadel Warpstone Glow green and Ork Flesh contrast paint to detail the plants and stuck them in the turfs of grass i had placed on the bases earlier. I think across the whole force it will be a great unifying theme that will set the army off nicely.
