I used 3 GW tree sets and made a cast of a half to make the fallen trees.
I used a combo of Celuclay and Ultracal to level out the groundwork for the three bases of the trees.
Funny thing originally I was using natural deadwood for the fallen trees.
While I set outside to dry a bird thought one of the branches was perfect for his house.
When I came back a branch was gone and he left a depression down to the plastic.
Turning lemons into tasty lemonade I made the depression a large puddle using water effects and Catachan Green with a touch of Admin Grey.
I ended up casting a tree halves because when once dry the difference between textures of the natural deadwood and GW trees smacked you in the face.
I like the Forest.
ReplyDeleteOption 1. Maybe a large crater filled with a mysterious liquid?
Option 2. A derelick drilling rig with a large puddle of mysterious liquid.
Option 3. A ruined bastion and defense line to be placed opposite of the ForgeWorld tile
You do like Mysterious Liquid don't you :)
ReplyDeleteNot bad ideas
I am also thinking
a)Necron Monolith rising
b)Crashed undeployed drop-pod
c)Tyranid infestation tile
d)Blood Lake
Problem is A & C are very army specific and I would like to make the tile useable by all
B is something I should put on a separate base to be used in many different places then just one board.
I would love a trench for opposite the FW tile but to get enough to cross two tiles would cost over $500
The FW guys say it is being talked about so I'll wait and paint this armies worth of Mortalis Tiles......oops did I just let the next project slip ;)
That looks fantatstic mate - well spaced so you can still move through with infantry, but not vehicles.
ReplyDeleteGoes well with your other boards.
I like Spyrles number 2 and 3 options - number 2 because its something different but still themed with the crash board and the FW board and number 3 again as it continues a theme beyond a single board.
Option B in your list is also a goer - although I think my Imperial bias is showing through.
Depends really which armies you have in your collection and who you are likely to face off against - if your opponents are all Ors, it would make less sense having some Nid terrain on it.
