The town "in situ".

 Had a few requests to see the town "assembled" so here is a quick table I knocked out.

 

 

A town showed up on my porch.

I was able to sneak an order in with Mark over at Crescent Root Studios.  I'd been hemming/hawing over what to do about terrain and simply decided to go all-in and order a whole town.  It showed up today in great shape!  Everything seems intact, and I'm very pleased.

 

 

More AoS sprue-doodles...

 Two of the other sprues I picked up in the small eBay lot were from one of the Warcry kits (pretty sure?).  I knocked them up into a few decent ruins.  I'll just have to ignore the sigmarines carved into each column.

 

 

AoS Terrain Sprues?

A week ago, I picked up a random smattering of terrain sprues from Age of Sigmar and...I think(?) Warcry.  These were on eBay for a "reasonable" price, and I snagged them in the hopes of bashing them into something useful.

 

This is the first two sprues.  I de-AoS'ed them significantly (leaving the Griff Hound statues off, showing them as destroyed instead, covering up AoS emblems with gravel, etc.).

 

I have four more different sprues remaining, and think I can make some decent terrain bits out of them.

 

 

Some trivial terrain tasks...

While ordering some Battlefield in a Box buildings for use with Merciless and FSF, I picked up one more set of smaller rocks to accompany my existing rock fields and little outcroppings, etc.  Fortunately I kinda/sorta figured out how to match them to my older stuff.

Nothing too excited, and yes I'm painting...pre-painted stuff, because pre-painted is never pre-painted enough. (more rhymes will come with the times...)

As delivered in the box.

Scrappen-Heapen Tables.

Some pictures of various tables I've built for Scrapheap lately.  Hoping that Scrapheap will actually be ready for launch in the next couple of weeks.  A few more test orders to arrive and a little bit more editing/reviewing.

More walls...this time in stone.

As I sat down at the hobby desk yesterday to pick something to build/paint...I remembered I had to finish off this other set of resin 15mm walls.  Instead of brick these were stone.

 

Some brick walls for 15mm.

I ordered some stone and brick walls from Monday Night Gaming(?) via eBay.  Unfortunately, upon arrival they were exactly what I expected - poorly sculpted and cast components.  The type you'd get for $5 at a convention off a rack.  Very late-90's feeling stuff.

I spent way too much time cutting off flash, excess resin, leveling the bottoms, etc.  However, the end result of at least one set is acceptable for gaming.  Just too much work needed to make them look decent.

 

 

Leftover Tamiya Barrels can mean only one thing!

I whipped up one more 'barge' for my 'port' while I had all the bits out.  I used up the rest of my Tamiya barrels (used as the floats), and a bunch more plasticard and coffee stirrers.

This one came out slightly larger than the other one, but they are distinctive enough while looking like they exist in the same world.

Scrapheap river barge - not in 15mm?

Despite blasting out a bunch of 15mm kits the past few days I decided to pull a 90-degree turn back into Scrapheap...with more terrain.  One of the locations requires a river barge which docks during the game (with loot on board).  For over a year I've put off building a river barge.

 

I changed that yesterday/today.

2023: Always more terrain. (Gale Force 9 Mountains)

So in my quest to knock off "edge of consciousness" projects that I have looming everywhere, I finally put the finishing touches on some GF9 mountains which I stripped/primed many many months ago.  I finally actually finished painting/basing/flocking them.

This was my Old West collection which was originally sold in a "Mars" red scheme.  I repainted them maybe 10 years ago, and finally decided to re-do them more betterly.

These have been re-coloured to work with more of my mats - though they're not a perfect match for anything.  No worries.  Always good to have mountains.

A new town deserves a new mat.

I'm trying some new mat options.  I picked up two 'Autumn' mats from Geek Villain to try out.  Sadly they're far more green than advertised (or so I find), but they seem to work well with the stuff I have on hand, so I may well keep them.  If it bugs me too much I'll flip them.

I also knocked out two small fenced in yards/gardens --- one of which will need plants applied in the future.

I also finally set up eight of my ten new "village" buildings I built a month or two ago.

These are MDF kits from Knights of Dice's 'Tabula Rasa' range --- sadly the company is closing shop this month.  I've paneled them and added teddy bear fur as thatch.  After seeing them on the table, I may try to darken the thatch some more - not sure.

I tried setting up a simple village just to test all the terrain from the past month or two.  I don't love the neoprene road, and I need more fences, but it's a nice start.
