Painting Terrain for our Gaming Club


Last week I painted some terrain pieces for our gaming club. Most of those kits can be used either in Warhammer Fantasy (and Warmahordes) or 40K - or both!

First, a Fantasy Watch Tower with fences. 

(Special thanks to the Imperial Fist Sergeant that kindly agreed to help us get a sense of the size of each piece of terrain).

There is also 2 sets of jungle woods - also from GW range.

Of Psykers and Bunkers

Last week I painted a team of Sanctioned Psykers and a custom built bunker.

 The bunker was made with one of these plastic structures that "cushions" the corners of appliances inside their boxes. I don't remember what particular device these came with, but the fact is that I have 4 of them in total, so I might try making one for the Orks, and another for Eldars, maybe...

I used several imperial bits to customize it, and also used plasticard here and there to create more detail, as well as to build the door and fire points.

SAM_4272

The idea is that a unit may occupy either the interior of this building, thus being unable to be fired at while still being able to fire out of the 4 fire points available (a couple on either of the 2 larger sides), or may instead use the battlement on the top, from where all models would be able to fire (as is the rule for battlements) while being protectd by a 4+ cover save.

Being a bunker, I believe it should be treated as an Armour Value 14 building. The gun in the battlement could be manually fired by a model next to it.

SAM_4273

I even used a spare weapon mount that comes in the Bastion kit to allow an Icarus Lascannon to be fit in there:

SAM_4282

The Quad Gun from the Aegis Defence Line kit also fits in there perfecly well, so we've got 2 weapon options to provide fire power to this bunker.

Speaking of Aegis Defence Line, I believe I forgot to show it here on the blog. I've finished it for quite some time now, so here it goes:

Next weeks will see me back into starships' painting, as I'm expecting my recently purchased Space Marine fleet from Battlefleet Gothic to be arriving anytime soon.
