Landscaping
At this point, you can start to see the scene taking shape. First, all of the rocks were drybrushed. I used a series of greys to drybrush the larger rocks and stones and for the stream bed I used warm greys (Castle Grey and Gargolye Grey from Army Painter), which creates a discoloured, sandy look to the stream bed and a cleaner, more weather worn look to the boulders.
Next, I painted all of the other areas with PVA glue and scattered some of the Fields of New Zealand base mix. Initially I had planned to add a dusting of green fine turf over the top, as the image on the website looked quite grey and a little washed out. However when it arrived, it had a much warmer, green/yellow tone to it which I thought looked absolutely perfect for open moorland.
As a final touch, I also added some green flock around the smaller patches of gravel at the base of the boulder, just to break the texture up a little. This was done by using waterd down PVA, which ran into the recesses and gently wiping the raised areas with a cotton bud to remove the glue. This allowd the flock to stick in the recesses, like grass growing around the rocks and also meant that when it was dry, the few stray bits that had stuck to the raised areas were easy to dust off.
