H4L Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I was about to shave today... then I realised that... well that after it gets a bit of length to it, well it looks like static grass, kinda. So, has anyone saved their shavings and added it to static grass or used it in place of static grass? Thanks in advance. If no one tries it out I'll give it a go.

stuckinbermuda Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Just gross. How about if I save some dandruff to use as snow? Would you want to play against my army if you knew that?

Zincite Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Well... it'd make an interesting thing to bring up at a gaming club. Good source of profit too. "Static Grass, only £2 a bag!"

verpine Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 So your facial hair grows green, eh? Might want to get that checked out. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229650-static-grass/#findComment-2756505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4L Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 So your facial hair grows green, eh? Might want to get that checked out. well actually, hair is really absorbant to paints. A lot of the most expensive brushes are made from hairs from animals. So you could paint it green ;p Or find a ginge and now you have some red autumn season grass. But not painting it, you could mix it with some green flock, now you have some darker flock. Or put it on some chaos marines and now you have some hairy marines...

Solid Zaku Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Um, this is the kind of thread Typhon would gag at while reading. Use the more time efficient (and far more sanitary) method used by miniwargaming. Just take sawdust and paint.

Reldn Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I think Grandfather Nurgle just turned a little bit greener.. I'd say stick with sawdust and paint as well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229650-static-grass/#findComment-2756636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan79 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've been using dill, just chop it up and let it dry out works a treat. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229650-static-grass/#findComment-2756693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Haha I was wondering how people were going to react to this! Guys seriously though it's not that gross, get over yourselves. It's literally just hair. As in what your paintbrushes are made of? Dunno how well it would work though. Give it a try, be original! And stuckinbermuda; The irony is your signature. LMAO.

EmbattledSoul Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 hair does stay around for a looong time, victorian era theyd make art out of it in rememberance of the dead... i guess static grass cant be any weirder.

Olis Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Although this is far from gross (come on guys, grow up), there are other cheap ways of getting static grass out there. This just kinda seems a bit of a faff. :drool: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229650-static-grass/#findComment-2756922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CainTheHunter Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Arm-pits also provide good source - forests/bushes etc. And there are still lots and lots of possibilities involving human body...

Tanhausen Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 If you want cheap static grass, just dry some (you can pick up some from the local park for example) and cut with your hobby knife ;) I'd stay away from body-parts/left-overs...unless going for nurgle :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229650-static-grass/#findComment-2757097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Oh I dunno - I reckon lychee skin would make a great salamander mantle (the scales look really nice and are teh right scale...) or Tyranid egg...

Reldn Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 nurgle/fly mutant marine. Hmm....a Fly themed Nurgle army. Led by Plague Lord Brundle. :) I could totally see that being an awesome conversion: Have a Plague Marine or Chaos Lord that looks like his skin is sloughing off and revealing a monstrous fly underneath. (Perhaps his ascension to Daemonhood?) WHY must I get these conversion ideas in my head when I'm rather conversion-impaired!? *laughs* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229650-static-grass/#findComment-2757573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCC Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 If you want cheap static grass, just dry some (you can pick up some from the local park for example) and cut with your hobby knife I wouldn't try that unless you're basing a Titan, real grass on a 40K base is just too darn big. It might work as something other than grass, some sort of jungle perhaps, but not as 28mm scale grass. Even the Mods are joining in... And the Admins ;) But that's OK, we're actually members of the B&C community and Space Marine fanatics first and staffers second, we're supposed to join in, even in the dafter threads <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229650-static-grass/#findComment-2757608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4L Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Well there is no issue with "sanitary". As mentioned hair is used all the time for things from wigs to brushes (hair isn’t degraded by bacteria so it won’t rot or get stinky on its own). The problem with the hair would be what’s attached to it, so unless you aren’t showering that often, it shouldn't be a problem. The reason I bring it up, is that there seem to be very few choices for static grass. This would give it a lot more texture (though it’s the title the key purpose isn't really to save money), the ability to control the color (dyeing, bleaching, peroxides, staining; a lot of these don’t work on static grass but work on hair great). The reason facial hair over head hair or even armpit hair, would be the length (at least the hair in my pits and on my head are to long), my facial hair is mostly straight and firm, just like static grass. I am sure there are other reasons that I am forgetting. Well due to the responses in this thread, I will do this tomorrow (Saturday, and I am on EST time) I will post lots of pics from the hair on my face, to comparisons with static grass, and finally versatility of the hair (if I have enough), like bleaching and painting.

MagicMan Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Just remember that when you shave, you remove a load of dead skin from your face, that you'll need to separate from the hair. .......good luck.
