Battle damaged space cacti - what a great idea!

[@ogremark5]

I love the DIY aspect of wargaming.

[@edpaintsminis]

Absolutely! So much fun to make these DIY bits for my table!

[@k-dog495]

I've literally just finished building a bunch of my own deathworld Cacti, and not once did I think of battle damage. Damn! Great idea

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks so much! I rarely have good ideas, but glad you think this is one of them ;)

[@TheBunnan]

🏆Best space cacti on the internet.

[@SurfaceDweller]

Minisodes! I love your vids

[@bluemoonlunalla9747]

Great work mate, I would like to see more of the taller ruin sometime, and really looking forward to seeing more on the Goffs

[@bio-boosted]

Sci fi cacti, staple from every white dwarf battle report in the 90's!
Damaged ones are very cool.

[@stillunsure7630]

What a Fun guy, this series of 2nd ed videos is great for the hobby feels.
Might have to try these soon.

[@lucasfriedman3418]

I really dig your take on these classic spikeballs!

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks Lucas!

[@EntropicEcho]

Love it!

[@herpaderp35]

Great twist on a classic!

[@konstantywierzbowski3176]

Amazing terrain, going to make some like this myself

[@user-mt2ng7yj6v]

I really like retro 40k style) your videos are amazing

[@brotherhoodofsteel4751]

Love the damaged cacti you should make some work buildings next.

[@Bluecho4]

It never occurred to me to make _damaged_ alien cacti. Outstanding. I might need to try these.

[@edpaintsminis]

Seemed like a logical choice - everything else on the table always looks like it's taken a battering! Always wondered what was inside....

[@mathiasln4231]

Keep up the great work!

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks Mathias! ☺️

[@oldgrognard7662]

The damaged cacti was a cool twist on an Old Hammer classic! It's great work all around! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane you and your channel provide. (And before anyone asks, Yes, I subscribed. LOL!)

[@edpaintsminis]

Very kind words Old Grognard and thanks so much for the sub!

[@norseman2834]

The oozy cacti are rad.

[@a.gjosaether]

The stuff you're making is really good, I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here 🤩

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks so much Andreas!

[@OmegaLittleBob]

Using the hot glue for the sap pooling out of the damaged on is a great idea!

[@hammerthebacklog]

SCI FI CAC TI! It was like the ghost of Matt Berry himself possessed you for a moment.

[@edpaintsminis]

Haha! I'd love it if he read a BL novel. That would be hilarious.

[@cornerwizard]

Excellent video! Feeling very nostalgic and the battle damage is such a good idea, it looks amazing.

[@kharnifex]

[@nanakakitano9724]

Gorgeous work, and all your minis are so beautifully painted!

[@MSPaints]

[@lukusridley]

[@computersocsci]

That battle damage is great! You deserve lots more subscribers

[@euansmith3699]

Check out the polystyrene balls on Ed! Sci-Fi-Cac-Ti!
2:55 Red hot, bloke-on-ball, capillary action!
Painting the inside of the plant a different colour to the exterior is a cool idea.

[@wonderboy2402]

Great job, subscribing.

[@edpaintsminis]

Thank you Wonderboy!

[@maxbrandt6]

Nice work! This is a fairly easy project that anyone can do and is a refreshing change, I like the busted open cacti and the purple ones are neat and alien looking.

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks so much! Doing those gross interiors was lots of fun to do!

[@grozwald]

All hail the weird alien cactus.

[@Charlie-qn4dp]

You’ve inspired me to have a go after all these years.

[@edpaintsminis]

YES! DO IT!

[@trogdo]

Sigh-figh cac-tigh

[@DeanError]

[@edpaintsminis]

At your peril! Prickly, and lots of E numbers.

[@DeanError]
