Cut out some shpaes from your MDF, I made some big and some small but tried to make most of them non uniform and non rectangular. Making terrain with a curved footprint, I believe, helps it blend in better on the table. Using the knife carefully cut a slope or chamfer into the edge of the MDF which will help it blend into the tabletop and also helps clean up any rough cuts. I like to spray a light coat over the MDF to help stop the worst of the warpingCut out some shpaes from your MDF, I made some big and some small but tried to make most of them non uniform and non rectangular.

Using a mix of normal basing sand and more gritty sand base the bogs leaving irregular shapes which will be made into water pools. Again spray or otherwise seal the basing material.Using a mix of normal basing sand and more gritty sand base the bogs leaving irregular shapes which will be made into water pools.

Paint the basing mix with Catachan Flesh, watering it down so that it flows and gets good coverage but no too much that it becomes transparent.Paint the basing mix with Catachan Flesh, watering it down so that it flows and gets good coverage but no too much that it becomes transparent.
Drybrush the basing material with Vallejo Khaki. All the colours I list are just the ones I used, feel free to substitute them for others. Drybrush the basing material with Vallejo Khaki. All the colours I list are just the ones I used, feel free to substitute them for others.
Paint the bog with Death World Forest. You can stop here if you like, it will look good on the tabletop. You can modify this to make a whole bunch of stuff, toxic waste pools, lava pools, alien splooge, be creative.Paint the bog with Death World Forest.
