A thing happened!
So I made this behemoth. Plan to base it all pretty like with plasticard steps and some columns etc like the ruins but…intact. But I feel that might be a spring clean kinda thing. I have a bunch of Titanicus knights to finish up…hmmm ? I sense a future project!
Not a true ‘Lloyd’ but a cheeky tease of the rear!The end?
The end? Probably not…but is it good enough to be ‘finished’ for now?…yep! That’ll do.
Big fan these days of ‘finished is better than perfect’. This terrain has been sat in a box in my loft for 20 years or so and it feels good to get it useful. Too small to be much use in Adeptus Titanicus but perfect for the elusive Legions Imperialis (if it ever bloody shows up!). This project was an adventure into trying new methods. I’d never used enamel washes or oil droppers before and I like what they do. Also first time with weathering powders, although it did at some times look like a cocaine bear had rampaged through my hobby area!
Obligatory Lloyd shot!The cheeky bit!
See? It’s for Moonstone…honest! 
More proof, if indeed proof is required? 
Group ‘Lloyd shot’ capturing the plucky pirate goblins ignoring the fact that El Capitan has sailed up on top of a ruin. The bonus bit!
Bases for some Cerastus knights and Aeronautica planes in anticipation of Legions Imperialis….Epic…it’s still gonna be called Epic. 
These bases have been filled with tungsten shot to give a nice bit of weight and stability. 
A couple more ready for painting! Can also just be used as scatter terrain!
So high!!!!The painting bit!
So the 6 terrain pieces have received multiple layers of rubble and watered down PVA.
An undercoat of Halfords black and a cheeky zenithal highlight with Halfords grey. Followed by airbrushing some pale blue grey from vallejo on the ruins. Then back to Halfords for a coat of clear varnish to seal everything. Thinking that will help with some oil/enamel washes and just generally help with longevity.
The tutorial bit!
Grab some building materials!
Make it look like a building! (Draw the F’ing owl!)
