War of the Flamin' Roses (Terrainfest 2025)
A Grave Matter
Once again, the progress of work has slowed down, unlike the aforementioned sleep regression, which continues unabated. Joy.
I have managed to finish this gaveyard though, this was a fun little project. The gravestones themselves are from Battlekiwi, good stuff. The walls themselves are failed prints from the selestion of STLs mentioned in the original post. THe ends were tided up/ orughed up wiht a dremel, and then closed up with green stuff which was then scultped to look like bricks. Grave mounds are just wall filler, and the Haunted tree stump is a Greenstuffworld resin thingy left over from a previous project (a small all squig goblin army from Kings of War. That was also pretty fun).
Learnt something new. I already knew that you have to apply the Dirty Down effect paints *after* varnishing, or they reactivate due to the varnish and mostly disappear. So I followed the usual process of weathering with enamals, varnishing then applying the Moss Effect. What I didn’t expect was that when I sprayed Woodland Scenics Scenic Cement to seal the turf terrain, any moss effect paint that was hit turned a bright, pale green. Weird. I brought most of it back down by repplaying the moss effect, or with brown enamels over the top, although I left a bit as glowing moss in a graveyard is pretty cool.
I have a couple of wooden huts and stuff all primed and base coated with an airbrush, so it shouldn’t be too long before my next update!
