Lastly (for now) we come to the GW terrain pieces I've accumulated. Most of this I actually inherited from friends who got back into the hobby when I did, but then rapidly fell out of it again - I like when that happens, I get free stuff (see also my earliest Flesh Tearers, still on sprue when given to me).
Firstly, ruined building. I think this is the Basilica kit, but I could be wrong - they're hard to tell apart. Basic paint job, black and heavy drybrush for most of it, details in bronze and gold, with stone areas in gray (washed and then highlighted with drybrush)



Following that, let's look at craters. This is the GW standard crater set (do they call it Blastscape? Dumb name). Pretty straightforward, sprayed gray (I use a Humbrol acrylic from the aforementioned model railway store) and then painted brown over the areas I want to be brown (well, duh). Layer of brown wash over the whole thing, then two layers of drybrush highlight (gray then white) over the gray bits and two over the brown bits (medium brown then lighter brown). Very easy to make these look very good.

Can't beat a good flocking.

To go with the craters, I've got the Battlescape that I think recently went out of production. Note that the Rhino is in Ultramarines colours (I do like me a dead Ultramarine). Technique was the same as for the craters. Notable exceptions are the use of the GW technical paints to get grime and rust on the wrecked tank.


The trees are painted Bleached Bone (or whatever the current equivalent is called) then washed brown.

I'm not super happy about the rhino - the lines between rust and not-rust seem too crisp to me - but it's good enough.

Last things last - I've got two bastions. They were boooooring to paint. Seriously, never again. Awful, awful things. Just the knowledge that I still have to paint the barricades and weapons that came with them brings me out in a cold sweat. Ugh.

Again, the line between dirty and clean is far too distinct. Again, I'm not going to do anything about it.

I drybrush everything. EVERYTHING.

Love a bit of shiny bronze

That's it for stuff I've already got built. I'll do a full tabletop pic set next time I have a game. In the mean time, here's a teaser for what I'm working on now. Peace out y'all.
