Animosity III is brewing behind the scenes: it will be set in the Prime
Dominion, in Haixiah - the hinterlands of Hysh. So I've been thinking a lot
about making a Hysh board with the Shrine Luminor (when its released) and some
artificial bonsai trees.
I have a vague plan to cut the rocky island in half horizontally, ground the
top half as a "normal" building (i.e. not a floating island building!) and
flip the bottom half to use it as a rocky "mountain". I am also looking for
the ruins from Teclis' base to use on the bases of two or three fake plastic
bonsai trees.
The paint recipe, on the back of the Teclis box, for the ruins is
apparently a Karak Stone basecoat, with Spacewolf Grey Contrast Paint over the
top, then a highlight with Karak Stone and lighter greys. I like the blueish
tint so I will be going for that look too.

This will all have to be acquired and done before the summer, so I want to
keep the number of pieces of scenery quite low. I've ordered three fake bonsai
trees from Ikea and part of Teclis's base ruins. I'm keeping an eye out for
more ruins at a price I can afford. Now I just have to cross my fingers that
the Shrine Luminor is released before the summer! For now all I can do is
drawings...
Ikea has fake bonsai trees! I never knew that, must check it out.
ReplyDeleteYep! They are part of the "FEJKA" range.
DeleteThe Ikea fake bonsai trees are too small, too bendy and don't look as good as I'd hoped. So I'm making bonsai style trees from Citadel Woods, a bit like the ones in the Lumineth promo photos.
