All the scenery!

Last weekend ( having built all the scenery of a period of months) was a nice dry day, so I broke out the rattle cans and spray primed everything. That’s all 3 box sets.

I used what is now my standard zenith approach for terrain:

  1. With each piece upside down, spray it grey. I used GW Mechanicus Standard Grey, but Halfords Grey Primer is excellent too.
  2. Turning the pieces the right way up, spray with very light grey. As I’m mostly going to be painting these with contrast, I used GW Grey Seer which is exceptionally smooth.
  3. Finally, a near vertical dusting of GW Wraithbone to catch all the top-most surfaces.

I find that gives me a really great base to work from, and helps guide me with the areas that don’t matter so much versus the areas that benefit from more detailing.

Once we’d done that (and I’d stuck some basic colour on a couple of bits – this log will jump around!), me and my son played a game with ALL the terrain.
