Terrain Time #2

 

Two weeks of posts in a row?!!? Let me explain... So as I said in my last post I had my birthday.  In honor of the occasion  I will be getting the Indianapolis division of Team Waynedale together.  Yes, 3 of us in the last 3 years made the 2 hour move south to the state capital.  As and added bonus the Oxford division also is also able to join.  We are doing things a bit differently this time around and meeting at my place on the south side instead of meeting up at Clint's place on the north side.  This event gave me the motivation to finish two pieces of terrain I'd been working on that have fallen to the way side in the past few months.

Fountain, ruins, Palisades, and cygnar stuff oh my!

Alright folks here is my first official post on the Team Waynedale blog!  I am beginning a new segment called Terrain Time.  As stated before I have a knack for scratch building things.  I've done some converting my Orks forces, a Kustom Force Field Generator here, a few Grabba Klaws there, and a Wazdaka build.  Recently however, I've turned my attention towards building terrain from scratch to make games of Warmahordes more interesting.  We've been playing 40k for years and over that time we have obtained a large amount of 40k terrain.  However, thematically this doesn't fit with steampunk fantasy battles. While it is true that some pieces can overlap fairly well (hills, rock formation, trees, as well as some of the more gothic and generic buildings)  the difference in scale and time setting called for some minor expansion or the team's holdings.  I had some raw found materials sitting around and some free time so I decided to get crafting.  All of these pieces are constructed from 95-100% found materials gathered from my home, old employers from when I worked there a few years ago or stuff I've saved form other projects.    

First up is the fountain:

A fountain that looks very Cygnar like

This is derived from the bottom of a mint tin, 2 bottle caps, a portion of plastic bottle, and a few plastic pieces that I saved from being thrown away.  I then spray painted a with a light brownish greyish color called fossil.  After that I painted portions blue, gray, a light wash of turquoise to simulate marble, and left other the fossil color.  Things that help are the existing shapes to the bottle caps (arches), holesaws, and a rotatory cutter.
