Terrain – New Games and old

About the Project
Didn't really make much of an effort last TerrainFest. I still have plenty of Terrain to make. A bulkhead set from Kill Team that I will use for Deathship One and Stargrave. A set of Gnawholes for Age of Sigmar. A set of Western terrain I will use for Dead Man's Hand. Some assorted bits I have only half thought up. And a few bits for my own Medieval Tourney Game "Mêlée".

Age of Sigmar - SkavenTide terrain - Bigger bits
The flames came out quite well.
I would never spend the amount of time that I did on terrain normally. There was loads of detail and I enjoyed it.
The copper work around the top of the wall was inspired by the GW painting tips video on the terrain.
Age of Sigmar - SkavenTide terrain - incidentals
The terrain in the SkavenTide box was surprisingly good. The flames were painted in a style inspired from an Instagram short painting tip video.
I like the desecration of the statue, with the metal work across the mouth.Quagmire marker - Mêlée
I needed a muddy patch of ground. I wanted to keep it simple for someone new to the game. So I chose a CD as the size of the terrain piece.I covered the hole in the middle of the CD with a foil sweety wrapper. Then I took a mix or ready mixed plaster (from a tube from the £ shop) and PVA glue. Smeared all over the CD I added some small stone chips and some flock to give it some texture.
After the plaster dried over night I sprayed it with Lazar Cut Brown primer.I should have mixed in some £ shop brown paint into the plaster mix. If the cd chips it will leave ugly white plaster showing. With the brown mixed in it doesn’t leave those obvious chips.
I used some watered down Mournfang Brown in a few spots to break up the flat colour of the primer. I added a couple of patches of my brown forest floor flock and I am happy with the final look.
Plonked down in the middle of a relatively small battle area it will make a nice rough terrain piece that reduces movement and hopefully bottlenecks play to make the game more interesting.
Sprue Tree. - Mêlée
Made with GW sprue and some thinner Wargames Atlantic sprue and used Thin plastic cement to keep it together.For my Medieval Tourney game I want a tree for people to interact with. A lady’s favour is hanging from the tree. A small retinue of Knights is set to defend a bridge to prevent the other team of Knights from crossing it and taking the favour from the tree.
If I was making the game I guess a cheap 2D one would suffice.
Wherever there was a circular connection point I added "branches" from the remainder of the sprue to build up the volume of the tree to the front and the back.I used a GW sprue, older style one with circular profile rather than the newer rectangular edged sprues. It just happened to look like a branching 2D tree.
The whole thing was painted Lazer Cut Brown – TT Combat spray primer paint.
The added clump foliage helps make it look more treelike and making something from what would’ve been thrown away always feels like a bonus.
