Rummaging in the loft the other day, I found my box of "gothic scatter scenery". This was a load of stuff I assembled from Hirst Arts blocks probably 15+ years ago for small-scale skirmish gaming. It came into use for the odd game of Combat Zone and was also used for a few Scout wargames days. It's probably been a decade since I used it and I thought I'd be better off finishing it off, using it as a practice project to try and develop my terrain-making skills before selling it off.

One large building was partly inspired by our local architecture here in Norfolk - flint walls with brick corners and detailing. I've used fieldstone walls with neat block edges. Needs to be painted with contrasting colours for the blocks and rough stones.

I'll probably keep my statue and plinth, this can be handy as a city centre monument for Epic 40K!

I also had some old cake pillars that were bought from the reduced bin of the local cake craft centre. I might save these for use in a 15mm ancient and mysterious alien temple. Shouldn't take long to chop the hex-based ones in half and then base those and the round-based ones and apply a bit of groundwork.

Fantastic terrain! Screams "Frostgrave" to me. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, in fact it was originally built with Mordheim in mind but the club stopped playing and it never actually got used for that!
