Forge World Strongpoint tile day 4. Finished.

Here it is. All finished with My Pre-Heresy Death Guard rushing to fortify it. 

I used Castellan Green for the tank, added chipping (black, Warplock and Rhinox) and sealed it with Purity seal before using thinned burnt umber oil paint to add grime. 

Road was done with careful drybrushing of Leadbelcher and Graphite powder. 

This will be used in a forthcoming battle report as the entrance to the caverns. 

Here is a WIP of my next project. A Rapier with Gravity Cannon. It has been very fun to do.

Hi all. 

Ok Tile. Go. I'm getting sick of scenery again!

So; as we used Mechanicum Standard grey for our Bastions, I decided to use it again for this one. So I thinned some of that lovely grey stuff up and got my airbrush action on. Bruuummm. I applied it in various coats and raised it in areas to make it have a very natural shade. 

Then I drybrushed Fortress Grey on the raised areas. 

I gave the Sandbags a base coat of Balor brown. 

I decided to keep the ferrocrete and metal work the same colour (sometimes things are painted the same to match), but I would still need to distinguish the difference in the surfaces types. So I decided to sponge the edges of the struts and metal work with a mix of Abaddon Black, Rhinox Hide and Warplock Bronze to show ware and chipping. I also heavily drybrushed Ushbati Bone onto the Sandbags. I will eventually wash them I think too. I then dotted and painted Burnt Umber into the recesses and onto areas where I want streaking. 

I then got my White spirits out and went to town on the bad boy. Streaking and setting it into the shadowed areas and the sections of natural pooling of grime and dirt. Different brush strokes and amounts of white spirits will get different results. 

Next time detail and tanks!

Forge World Strongpoint tile day 2

Ok. Tonight I had a few hours to spare so started the Forge World Strongpoint tile. When I did my desert board I purchased the GW Scenery flock and paint set. The brown is the standard earth brown they use. 

It was then heavily drybrushed with the Ochre from the set. 

Next will be the stonework and metal work and it should be done. Great stuff. A nice and quick one by the looks of things.

Forge World Strongpoint tile day 1

Ok. Fluffy gamers need fluffy terrain. 

This is the opening to underground networks which could contain Labs, Chemical Weaponary, a prison complex etc. the possibilities are endless. 

So I started by PVA gluing a lot of sand to it and then spraying Chaos Black. 

. . . Short but sweet. It took me a long time to do it!! I'm in Hobby turmoil at the moment. Finding it hard to keep my eyes on one project at a time!

Next; I paint the bastard.
