A City worth fighting for?

Well… that happened.
You know, the event. No people coming over, no Frostgrave. No impetus to prep terrain.

But I was doing a clean up and re-organisation of my hobby workspace. I’ve been feeling the itch to scratch build terrain. I realised as I was tidying and reorganising that I already had a backlog of terrain waiting to be done. This tower has been lurking over my painting desk since I put it up there to gather dust. I figure, time to get it done. A whole heap of it.

I got stuck in to paint. Seems like the painting guide I was referring to is gone… Oh well.

I went in with the dollar store craft acrylics.

The walls:

• Drybrushed Grey
• Mix Grey + some white and pick out random bricks
• Lighter drybrush all over with Tan

Timber components:

• Light drybrush with grey
• Lighter drybrush with tan

Roof Tiles:

• Drybrush red ochre
• Light drybrush with tan

Smaller details:

• Ropes were picked out with tan.
• Bars in the window hit with red ochre for rusty iron bars
• black drybushed under the chimney top for soot

A few tufts placed around to show grass growing up through the cracks.
Some dried mixed herbs to indicate old dried out leaves gathered in piles.
Green flock for… moss? Not sure to be honest. It could look better if there was a mix of greens.

Also, a splash of red… I noticed that I’d got red ochre in places where I’d not intended. *facepalm* It stands out in the photos. Rather than try and repaint and match, I dabbed some of the Citadel Blood for the Blood God technical over it.
Not mistakes, happy accidents! Turn an error into an interesting detail.

Looking at what else I could do…
Pick out all the nails in a rusty colour or technical…
Add more greenery…
Do a little more to cover some of the print errors I can still see…

Though I’ve got more pieces to get though, and have spent most of today getting the bulk work done.
