The Drowned Earth - Wispa's Militia painting project
Basing complete
Bases painted
Forek (mounted) Here’s the team ready for some detail to be added to the bases. At this point they’ve just had brown mud / grey rocks / blue pools painted.
GW Barbed BrackenI decided the pick up some GW Barbed Bracken to experiment with for foliage rather than simply cut up the plastic aquarium plants I’ve been using for scatter terrain.
The first thing I noticed was that is wasn’t made of hard plastic, but rather a softer almost rubber like material. It was only really noticeable whilst dry brushing and I found that once it had several layers of paint and varnish on it was a bit harder. I liked it, that slight flex makes me think it’s less likely to break off but we’ll see.
Foliage and water effect addedGW Barbed Bracken added as well as some Army Painter Ivy around the rocks on Ranelle and Forek (mounted) figures. I threw on some green flock as well to break up some of the brown.
As well as that I added some Woodlands Scenics Realistic Water using a pipette into the pools. Most bases needed two layers. It’s worth noting that I did this AFTER I’ve varnished the figures.
All in all, very happy with the results.
