I have really enjoyed painting the Azyrite Ruins and other terrain features for Warcry and the Age of Sigmar. I am beginning to amass a good range of pieces.  Having finished the stonework on these structures, the next next large sections to paint were the wooden planks that make up the broken floors and of course the bell tower. I wanted the wood to be a different colour from the stone but equally to appear as though it did belong in the ruins. I intended to basecoat the 'wood' with grey before shifting its hue with browns and then finishing it off with greens. I recently did an update of this method. I did not like the glossy look of the contrast paint. So I have experimented a little to change the paints I have used. The update is in blue .

When I was painting the Timeworn Ruins, the sheer number of skulls on these pieces really annoyed me. So, I decided to cover them. Then, while out walking, I noticed lots of stone walls covered in moss. I had my idea, now ' how to do it? '.  More of my  How to paint... articles  can be found here.  Materials and paints required: Flock PVA Glue Castellan Green Athonian Camoshade Agrax Earthshade Elysian Green Ogryn Camo Lamenters Yellow Waywatchers Green Biel-tan Green Spatula to apply the 'Moss'. Medium sized round-ended brush Wash brush The 'Moss' is applied to the miniature after everything else is painted. First of all I mix up the Flock and PVA Glue to make a paste. To this add enough Castellan Green and Athonian Camoshade to colour the paste. The paste will dry darker as the white glue becomes transparent. The paste should be runny enough to not crumble when it is applied and but stiff enough to retain its shape when you apply it. If it is too runny, add...

Over the years, one of my favourite aspects of playing Warhammer has been sending my fully painted army across a board with great terrain.  The really nice feature of terrain is that can be painted easily and quickly with just a few basic techniques, and still look amazing on the table top, no matter how much experience you have. For this tutorial, I am using the Azyrite Ruins. More of my  How to paint... articles  can be found here.  Paints required: Mechanicum Standard Grey Dawnstone Administratum Grey Athonian Camoshade Elysian Green Karak Stone Screaming Skull Agrax Earthshade (optional) Seraphim Sepia (optional) Nuln Oil (optional) Grey Seer (optional) The terrain was first undercoated with Chaos Black. This was then followed by a drybrush with Mechanicum Standard Grey.  I like to use a fairly large, round-ended brush (I have a make-up brush) when I drybrush terrain. When drybrushing, I move the brush around in a circular motion, focusing on raised areas an...

  I have recently been painting a fair amount of terrain for Warcry and I have thoroughly enjoyed it; simple techniques can produce great effects really quickly. When Kill Team: Pariah Nexus was released I decided that I would like to paint the terrain pieces from the set. I already own I sizable Necron force, which I started building around 20 years ago (some of it is made of actual metal)! So here we go, this is my guide to Necron terrain in a classic 'Green Glow' scheme.

  Over the past few years, I have been painting and playing Aeronautica Imperialis. It is one of my favourite games from Games Workshop. To play the low altitude version of the game, I needed some terrain. The Imperial Buildings from Adeptus Titanicus are perfect for this, as they are the correct scale. These building will also make for excellent ground targets.

Then a light spray from above and slightly to the side was applied with Mechanicum Standard Grey spray. After the undercoats were applied, the building was given a heavy dry brush of Mechanicum Standard Grey . This was followed by a ...
