I'm trying to channel the vibe of a bit of the art, by John Blanche, from the
1980s GW card game Chaos Marauders (above).
I (re)painted a 15"×9" chonk of terrain. I only changed the dirt from Steel
Legion Drab to orange, to match the orange side of the Thondia boards.
- Mournfang Brown base coat
- Sponged and stipled with 2 to 3 coats of Trollslayer Orange
- Recesses washed with 10:1 mix of water:Trollslayer Orange with more water added at the outside edge of each wash (for a dusty effect)
(Annoyingly, the colour looks closer to the board in real life than it does in
these photos.)
This photo shows just how big this hill is; it occupies just a little under a
quarter of a 30"x22" Warcry board!

The second (and third, kinda) pieces of terrain I've updated for this board in
the Magmadroth Remains.

I love how you fully connected the piece of terrain to the ground. It feels so much natural and "fitting in"
ReplyDeleteThanks Brauwan!
DeleteYeah, I definitely prefer based scenery for a lot of reasons and that's definitely one of them - they look more "lived in".
Another reason is how much better terrain looks when kits are combined - either with other scenery kits or with smaller accessories and spare parts like barrels, plants, broken gear, or trophies.
