Draconis does.... TerrainFest 2023 (Deadzone, KoW Vanguard and Mordheim)

16th October 2023

Over the weekend I managed a couple of early morning rattle can sessions.

While prepping the terrain for spraying I decided that I would also paint the barricades from my Star wars Legion boxes….

They all had quite prominent mould lines, but conscious that I had limited time and needed to get the spraying underway I just cleaned off the most obvious ones. (Sundancer – plenty left for you to spot ?)

The Deadzone terrain was to be sprayed red first, and the Vanguard terrain black. I also decided to spray half of the SWL barricades red first and half black, to give some more tonal differences in the final look.

They then all had a zenithal spray of grey, followed by a lighter spray of white (although the rocks for Vanguard only had a very light touch of white). This ate through the spray cans quite quickly….

It was then that I noticed I had a duplicate of one of the stones in the Vanguard objective set, but was missing another. Oh well, can’t be helped now.

Next up for the Deadzone terrain was some of the yellow splash colour that I used in my previous project.

I masked up the pieces, using some clear tape (low tack) as I ran out of my masking tape.

With the last remnants of the yellow can I just about managed to cover all the parts I wanted to.

The fun part with masking is always in the peel off. I had a little bleed under with the tape, but where it was looking too much I scraped away at it with my finger nail. Since it had three more layers of paint underneath scraping it back here makes it look like wear and tear revealing the primer underneath – since it was exactly that ?
