Just posted a simple how-to article to my main blog showing how to make simple barriers – in this case rendered walls – ideal perhaps for use as terrain / scenery in a Warhammer Fantasy battle,especially now 8th edition mentions barriers specifically. Cover for your troops? Anyway, the article can be found here:

Where would we be in terrain making without dry brushing? It is the technique to make your terrain come alive and should be in every terrain maker’s tool box of techniques. I came across this series of videos the other day – worth a look if you are new to the wargames scenery making game.

My dad flipped the cooler upside down, cut down the height a few inches and stuck the lid on top and painted it gray.* The windows are ordinary vinyl molding you’d find in a generic office building cut to shape and detailed with a sharpie marker. Popsicle sticks make up the window shutters and the gate. The gate is detailed with some ordinary black twine. I don’t think my dad had any idea at the time that he was supporting what would become at times a border-line obsession for me, but nevertheless I’m still appreciative of his efforts to this day.

Found this on Dakka Dakka – Really neat and tough roads system for your wargames, seems to be 28mm scale – ideal for Warhammer 40K. The roads are made from very tough acrylic cut with a CNC laser and I would imagine would be near indestructible in everyday gameplay. Maybe good for gaming clubs? The range and type of Wargames scenery and terrain available seems to be constantly improving. I wonder if this is because it is often made by enthusiasts and hobbyists who mange to start a business doing something they know and love? Lucky them – and lucky us as players especially Warhammer and Wrahammer 40K players who are very well catered for!
New post on my main blog http://www.wargamessceneryworld.com – showing you how to make some simple trees out of grape vine stems and vine ripened tomato stems, reindeer moss and flock – you can see the results above. I love re-using stuff you can find around the house for making wargames scenery and terrain – cheap and green! Pop over and have a look and if you make any yourself I’d be glad to feature them.
Just come across quite a nice article on the Games Workshop blog about painting their (somewhat pricey) Realm of Battle gameboard. Quite a lot of useful tips in painting and applying static grass. One thing I’d say though – 18 pots of Scorched Brown at £2.25 a pot…Ouch! You can use ordinary household emulsion paints quite successfully – have a look at ranges that are available in tester pots (small tins). Some of the period colours suppliers have some quite good and games board appropriate muted colours in their ranges. Worth a look anyway – even if you are building your own gameboard, Extra ideas never go amiss!
