The Last Market of Bataar – terrain challenge

About the Project
This is my project log for an Age of Sigmar terrain piece, for the Terrain Challenge 'end is nigh' comp 2018. It's inspired by the tales of the floating city of Bataar from the Realm of Fire - Age of Sigmar. The new core book gives us the background that this once powerful trading city that was over run during the Age of Chaos, after the destruction of the Iron Armada. I'm looking to make a remnant of the huge merchant hub, a broken floating ship - really just a trading post now, a last reminder of the once great market. I hope to share my thinking and choices all the way through this project. This will be a terrain piece and not a diorama or display board, so the level of detail (for now at least) will reflect that, due to time and budget, plus as a gaming piece I need to leave room for the models to game over in/over it.

Maiden Flight
Now ready for it’s first test play on Monday. After a chat with a mate, came up with the concept that this is more of a table space than building and to think about adding scatter terrain on it. So after the market stalls are complete, I’m looking at adding slaver cages, giant flying creature carcass and maybe even a giant cannon…
Paint Stage
Looking to use dry brushing, sponging and washes to add texture, hint add different materials and wear and tear over the rattle can base.
More rattlecan colours
Getting close to being happy with this stage. Next up some dry brushing and then heavy washes (homemade).
Undercoats
Got some black Halfords primer down first to seal and see what shapes I had.
Then added some lighter base and some early basic colours. This stage is about using rattlecans to get the basic colours down. Rough and ready but the proper paint stage will sharped this up.
Testing the planting area
Before going to the next stage – just wanted to check the planting areas, this is for some food on hand for the crew, when the market doesn’t have the usual delights…
