DIY terrain

 These terrains have an interesting story.

Few years ago there was an online contest organised by a blogger. It was about doing a piece of terrain, no rules.

I had this idea to build 4 identical terrain and weather them for each season, +1 in case I messed up.

Work got in the way and I was never able to complete it. They sat in my to-do box, and I finally got to do them (the famous Covid made me do it).

I am quite pleased with the result, even though I have no idea how to explain having 5 same terrain on a table.

Isolation - What has been painted lately - Terrain

Here are some terrain done during the confinement in the first quarter of this (very special) year.

A Dave Graffam terrain, latest addition to my terrain, in anticipation of the Battlesystem that was coming in July.

and some scatter terrain to be used as objective. 

I used some left over bits I have accumulated over the years.

Montiberg is coming back. Introducing the scenario terrain

Last Tuesday, I finally restarted my solo games in 2019, with a game of Montiberg. Here is the terrain I played on.

Terrain is a mix of Town Crate/Dungeon Create from Mantic, Dave Graffam printed floor on foamboard, Daedaloom painted terrain and Stones Dungeon Tiles from Frontline Games

May painting summary - small production - Morikun Challenge started

It has been a good month for gaming: Incursion, X-Wing, Cluedo (with my boy)
but a small month for painting.

Should I say that Rain and The Expanse onNetflix, and Fallout New Vegas have taken their toll too.
Talking about plots, The Expanse is a good show with an interesting plot (up to Episode 8, let's see how they close the season)
The Rain is ok. Watching it in Danish with Subtitle is better. I find that they completely missed the end of the season with an illogical cliffhanger. Sad.

Hobbywise, I have worked on 3 projects:
- Small terrain to be added on my fantasy set, to add in flavor.

They are supposed to be shield. They are unfortunately too big for my miniatures. I will recycle them as  broken ornaments

- Tiles that were still not painted

I plan to make them diry like the white tiles above. The joy of having too much stuff from a kickstarter.

- The Morikun Challenge - 3 sisters of battle ready to burn stuff/

I have used the black ink to highlight the details. They will be ready to paint, once I get inspired on the color scheme.

that's all folks!

Fresh from the bench: Westwind Brotherhood, Viridian, Space Marine and Teutonic knights and using battlesystems

While waiting for Morikun 1,000,000-views competition, I decided to slow down on PUBG and start painting.

I have done a good progress by my standard, by painting the whole Brotherhood gang I planned to use for EoD or Dracula's America.

Brotherhood Boss - Road Kill from Westwind, perfect for any period

EoD Brotherhood - Cool minis, not much needed to trim

The miniatures are very characterful and dynamic

They are all grey beards, because they have nothing to lose

 Long time ago, while trying to revive my Space Crusade board, I bought a Space Marine apothecary. I have finally finished him off, and he is ready to join his friends.

I have decided to go for a more crude visual on the armor than the usual space marine

His job is to butcher gene seed, not to be the prettiest of all

The Viridian (here) had a girl pilot, likely because women can do multiple things at the same time. I didn't have the mood in the past to paint her, and she has been painted over the past 12 month.
Finally, here she is.

And here are the Teutons. Perfect for paladin, or any fantasy setting. Cutting the metal base was a pain, and after 1 test, I decided to keep them like this and paint the base darker, as if it is their shadow.

We worked also on structure with the kids, using their units of inquiries at school to make some fallout/necromunda board.

Orlosh settlement with a 1-floor, a 2-floor and a 3-floor building

The Claw Store. Vet store or pelt trader?

If it is fallout, here is the way to the Vault

Any settlement should get their table and chairs for chilling out.

Arm dealer, mandatory

A good weapon is a heavy weapon

We added a tower to help protecting the settlement.
