Terrain Fest 2024: Desert Table
Phase three. Adding color to the texture
With the sand and glue mixture completely dry I proceeded to add some dark browns to the ground. I used army painter, leather brown for the darkest brown then I used some ace hardware radish brown primer. Can’t beat the price for the Ace Hardware paints. Then, when these brown paints dried, I busted out the original tan Color and dry brushed my hills. I also dry brushed around the edges and left the darkness and decreases to give it a natural shadowy earthy look. I still need to dig out my original Rocky outcroppings that I made before that are based on old scratched CDs. These will get the same treatment as the hills. I’m feeling good enough right now to play a game on the table as it is. Hopefully I can get in a battle report this week. Then I will continue on with the rest of my desert stuff. Looking to build some Star Wars Tantooine looking structures. Well, time to make a couple lists and test this baby out with Miniatures in a game of one page rules. Battle report coming soon.
Great info, I am building a minimum effort desert table and this has given me a few ideas
