About the Project
After finishing the High Elves, I have turned my sights onto taking an old Warriors of Chaos Army, and resurecting it into a Fantasy Knights of the Darkness Army for Sage Age of Magic

Time to prep the rest of the bases - Adding the Wallpaper
Adding some texture
Primed, Drybrushed and Minis Glued On
Adding Rust Effect to the Railings
Coming together Quite Nicely!
While Drying it's time to select Basing Materials
To fit with the feel I’m after I have selected burnt ash type fine gravel and brown leaves. Some little highlights can be provided with tufts and climbers.
The Stone Ruins
The stone ruins are made from left over castings of Hirst Arts bits from pas projects. (I keep a bag of them handy!)
First I dry fit some together and when happy I glue them together and set about giving them extra distressing using a pair of decent clippers.
A couple of extra steps I take, is dry fitting the models to get a feel of whether I will be happy with the result.
And I also take an opportunity at this stage to run a sharp craft knife around the wallpaper on the base to remove any over hangs.
3D Printed Bases to The Rescue Again
I have a plan in mind for the Knights of Darkness army, I’m inspired by the Lord of The Rings movies and want to give them a heavy stone ruins type look with autumn leaves to really give a splash of colour without removing the sense of DEATH!!!
The Bases I’m using are 3D printed and were designed by a community member my good friend elessar2590.
See them here: https://www.thingiverse.com/Elessar2590/designs
They have been designed to contain 2p’s in the bases to give extra weight to the models. Just to give them a slightly heightened sense of value when playing with them.
Texture the bases
One of the things about resin bases is the beautiful textures they come with. To keep the 3D printed bases versatile they are printed without any textures.
So I really wanted to give these bases a more defined texture rather than just sand or gravel.
Wallpaper to the rescue! We covered this wall paper a while back on one of the Weekender XLBS shows. and it has proved perfect for this.
Just a matter of outlining the bases and trimming out with scissors and then glueing down with some super glue… and bang we have a fantastic fast and cheap stone floor texture.
