Here Be Damnation!

  Even with a 3x3 foot board, I still want a heap of buildings. The docks need to be densely packed, with buildings separated by narrow alleys.  This post is a dump of all the remaining buildings I've put together. Pegasus kit derivatives: With the two temples built, I still have heaps of the Pegasus gothic building terrain left.  I've put them to good use in the following buildings. Here, I've used the wall pieces to create ruined bottom story, and then added foamcore/coffee stir stick upper levels.  I tried out plastic tennis rackets for the windows and am pretty happy with how they turned out.  I also added heaps of rubble using cork bricks. Using 2 corner pieces, plus a broken pillar I was able to create a heavily ruined building.  I've added heaps of rubble, sand and grout. More of the same, but this time I included an intact wall too. Recycling old buildings: I have a couple of buildings from a few years ago which I am keen to use for the new board to...

A key terrain element I wanted for the docks board was some warehouses.  I wanted these to be really large multi-story buildings.  I've used the standard "Eric's Hobby Workshop" approach using foamcore, balsa, coffee stir sticks and card to create each building, but added a few twists of my own as well. Warehouse #1: The first warehouse has been built around a humble pringles can, to which I've added sporadic thin cork bricks to the outside and then liberally rendered with a mix of grout and sand.  Internally, the structure acts as a 'ladder' between the ground floor and first floor.  I've cut doorways and added a handful of stairs to suggest a full staircase. Looking at the image, I've just realised the second flight of stairs leads no where!!   The remainder of this building is foamcore and coffee stir sticks, however I did play around with a more interesting roofline to cover the small office above the pringles can.  This is definitely my favour...

 Working on the docks board has definitely lead me to lean into nautical themed warbands more recently.  The Scibor pirate dwarf range was perfect for Dwarf Treasure Hunter's, but it also drew my attention to their Cthulhu range. I thought the Cthulhu model would be great for a possessed model and then there were also heaps of generic cultists.  This would be the beginnings of my "Cult of the Deep", a Stromfels worshipping chaos cult. Possessed: Many, many years ago I bought a Mantic Sci-fi terrain crate which included an assortment of minis. Unfortunately, the quality wasn't great, so they have sat in a drawer until now.  One of the big aliens looked like it had a horseshoe crab carapace and would be perfect for kit-bashing a possessed.  I replaced its head and claw with parts from a 40k ogryn (perhaps a glimpse of its former humanity?).  I did have to sculpt some hooves in green stuff - not 100% happy with them but it will have to do.  I also sc...

I had the best intentions of doing a simple riser using the same cork stonework as the docks board.  As always, the project has grown!  It is now a riser with a large integrated building - another temple no less!  I've used a box with a telescopic base and top (I think that is the right terminology), so that I can use the inside as terrain too. Method is similar to my other pieces - various thickness cork for paving and tiles, with random pieces of card thrown in to mix up the textures and heights.  The buildings are from Pegasus, cut down and damaged where required.  The statue plates are from Scibor. I've added a small courtyard at the top of the big flight of steps.  I've fenced this off using some Renedra spear top railing fencing and added a foot knight statue (mini from Wargames Atlantic - keen to start a Bretonnian warband at some point!!).   The roof structural beams are balsa with stir sticks for the planking.  Unlike the slate ...
