Happy Thursday Everyone!
I know, I suck. Working on it, I promise.
So, my update for this week is a follows... I have been working on terrain for various things. I also got to play some Dungeons and Dragons, but I may talk about that a bit later.
Terrain. Terrain is so important in miniature war-gaming. It builds your atmosphere, assists your narration, and enhances your experience. And, frankly, I have very little terrain I am actually happy about. Sure, I have some line of sight blockers, but just not enough to add variety to my gaming tables. So... that is what I am working on these days. First up, I have a couple of ruins that will be using primarily for Frostgrave, though they will work for anything. Again, work in progress, I still need to add texture, and detailing before painting.
I chose to use packing Styrofoam for a couple of reasons... I had quite a bit of extra narrow, rectangular pieces, and they seemed to work well. I also thought that maybe the foam bubbles from this size would look like cobblestone... I guess we will see after I get some paint on them.
On this last one, you can see I included an Imperial Fist Sergeant to model sizes. Again, I should be able to use this terrain in Warhammer 40k battles, even if it is just an ancient castle setting. I will be showing off the other Imperial Fists I have painted in a future showcase post.
Lastly, I finally finished painting a mesa piece I worked on about 4 months ago... two more to go, though I did get one done. I was imagining a strange stone plinth, with a glowing chaotic rune emblazoned on it. I think it looks pretty cool, and works pretty close to what I want. I also was thinking it would be pretty striking on the battlefield, and yet still block line of sight.
What do you think?
Have a great week!
