WIP: fortress scenery


"Terrain is the third army on the table."

Four and a half years.

That's how long it has taken me to get around to finishing these. I grabbed a piece of Styrofoam off the loading dock at work nearly five years ago, thinking it would make excellent fortress walls, and have only now started building them.


A quick cut on the bandsaw and some foam core and glue later, and they were ready for paint. Three coats of art store acrylic paint made a solid base, and then I dry-brushed the edges for contrast.


I used the airbrush to add shading to the recesses and painted the ground as well. Small touch-ups with a brush finished everything off.

Creating line-of-sight blocking terrain is actually something on my 2016 resolutions list. Looking forward to using these in games with the newly released 8th edition rules!
