About the Project

A Dark Skirmish Game from Black Magic Craft The supernatural conflicts of Idols of Torment rage across a perilous afterlife called the Echo. This ruined landscape combines remnants of Heaven and Hell following their apocalyptic collapse, forging a single, shattered realm inhabited by wandering souls – the Lost. The Idols, servants of the Eternals, seek these forlorn spirits, clashing endlessly over this dwindling yet precious resource to control the fate of the Cosmic Realm. As I cannot physically build any terrain for the last week of Terrainfest I thought I would write up my first 'big' project. I learned a huge amount on this and pushed myself well out of my comfort zone.

Battle Report!

I finally got this to the table and it did not disappoint. The rules make for a close game and combat is lethal. Lots of strategic decisions to make and skulduggery opportunities.

Not all the terrain survived a long stint in storage .

I had been meaning to dig out the terrain to do some proper pictures of the finished items, having The Lost to dress the set spurred me on some, so here goes.

Painting the Lost

I wanted to create a more painterly finish to the lost, really build up the skin tones, and try and give a gauzy, translucent feel to their rags. The skin started as a prussian blue and I built up skin tones across it.

Painting the Lost

The robes I started with a dark blue-gray and built up lighter tones, and then put a blue wash over then, still have skin and robe highlights to do.

These are finished barring the light sourcing effects, although those pics will have to wait.

Progressing the pieces

There’s so many things that could be better with this project, but I kind of liked the jarring, absurd nature of it. I had posted some pictures on the facebook group and got really positive responses including from the writer of the game. That’s what’s so good about groups and communities, the encouragement and advice and inspiration you can get from them.
