Spring Cleaning A Garden of Morr Then Expanding Upon It

I want to creat a selection of additional pieces to go with the garden of Morr to fill out a table for skirmish games. I thought I’d experiment with a test piece so I could learn from any mistakes and refine the process for when I build several all at once later.

For the size of the pieces I thought I’d use one of the buildings as a guide. I took a thin A4 piece of plasticard and divided it up.

The plasticard was thin enough to use scissors. I cut only one piece out then rounded the corners off.

No it’s not a wheatabix, it’s some thin cork board from a roll I’ve had for years. I superglued this to the card to give the piece a slight elevation from the table.

I cut up a few old flagstone bases from Renedra and added a few gravestones, a mix of Renedra and old Citadel from their Skeleton and Zombie sprues.

Now it was time to add details. First up I needed skulls, lots of skulls. Well, just six in fact, I don’t want to have to paint too many.

To make the ground less flat I added some smaller bits of cork to give lumps and bumps.

I found an old skeleton shield, a crow from the Renedra grave sprue and a cat from a Warlord games farm sprue.

Finally I added filler to blend and smooth out the different layers of cork, followed by fine sand for ground texture then the whole thing was sprayed in Halford’s finest grey. I was going to use black but I’ve ran out. I need to get some more for when I make the others.

I plan on painting the piece in a similar fashion to the Garden of Morr so it should blend in. I also may use thicker plasticard as the whole piece is a little bendy, but overall I’m pretty happy with this so far.
