Frostgrave terrain for local club campaign April 2026

With the Gatehouse set aside, I turn my attention to the ruins.

Previously the pink ruins were primed. I also have airbrushed a dark orange building as well as the greys.

Using a simple wargame foam sponge technique (I am using acrylics Wargames Foundry Ochre A and Wine Stain Red B) I create contrast and depth where there are flat walls.

This was then washed with Reikland fleshshade for the pink building and Fungeon Orange with the Orange building. I did consider using sepia but I wanted it to retain its colour rather than dull it down.

Expensive though these washes are for terrain, I wanted to nail down that pink colour properly rather than fix it.

I also keep all my paint recipe’s written down that I experiment on (ruins are fantastic for this). So then I can go back to projects or add to existing armies the same paints used. Something I highly recommend any painter gets into the habit of.

I need to finish priming the rest of the buildings and sponging . The greys will get more of a whitish granite, which I intend to use a black oil wash for them after.

I had a bit of a funky colour I disliked with the yellow, instead of wasting I used it to prime this single ruin piece of terrain and will use it as a background to add some vines and foliage later. Bit of a Bob Ross happy accident moment.

I will turn my attention to the floors, the walls and then a light airbrush dusting of white for snow (that will be the highlight and tie all the buildings together).

Then the proper snowy weathering.
