About the Project

A collection of ruined buildings and terrain for a custom skirmish game. It's not for Mordheim per say, but it can offer some inspiration for Mordheim, Frostgrave or similar setting.

XPS foam bricks

About two months ago, I found some really nice rectangular wood bases at the dollar store. That inspired me to make a small ruined house with XPS foam bricks.

I was not overly pleased with the result. It looks a bit boring, so it just sat on my shelf.

While working on the other buildings, I figure I should finish it as well.
Going to add a few elements to make it more interesting: a barrel, broken down beams, chains. We’ll see how that comes out in the end ?

I added small rocks and a lot of sand on the bases with PVA glue.

Once it was dry, I poured watered-down PVA glue to make sure nothing was coming off later.

All the buildings!All the buildings!

Roof tiles

Roof tiles are easy to make and they look great, especially the smaller tiles. However, they take a long time to apply, so for this « mass crafting » project, I avoided them, except for two small areas. (They are just leftover tiles from my previous large building.)

Painted the bricks with brown and tan colors. It tends to look more natural than « grey stone ». Will add some oil washes later.

Trying something new: speed crafting!!
Aiming to finish 5 simple buildings in a short time. I am a slow painter and crafter, so this is an exercise to force me to speed things up.

Not focusing on the details, just trying to achieve 5 grimdark terrain pieces in a reasonable time!
