Finished the remaining dry stone fence sections.
Thanks to Tomislav Rac for providing me with some photos from his visit to Dartmoor. They were a useful resource when painting the above pieces, and I'm sure they will be helpful in the future as well.

Dead Troglodytes can be revived by their shamans, so I'll need some corpse markers for them to drop when they die during games. I'll probably need no more than a dozen.
 |
| First I made one on a 25mm base, from a plastic Goblin, some cork and sand. Then I made a mould with Oyumaru. |
 |
| I poured plaster in the mould and this is what came out. Not bad. After casting I added injuries such as bullet holes and cuts. |
 |
| The first four corpse markers, painted and varnished. Since I don't want all of them to look the same I'll make one or two more designs from which I'll make the remaining copies. |

Great work as ever. The walls look really realistic, especially with the foliage you've used. I like how all your work seems to fit together in its own little world.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at the detail you've been able to get out of the Oyumaru. For me the details always seem to come out a bit distorted. Are there any particular tricks to using it beyond what it says in the instructions?
Thanks! :)
DeleteI use it as per instructions. However, it works well only for casting with fluid materilas such as plaster (and probably resin, but I haven't tried that yet). Results with green stuff are much, much poorer. So I assume you're using it with green stuff. I'm afraid I can't offer any useful advice.
Terrific looking wall sections, Ana. Very sombre colors in keeping with the reference pics.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Finch!
DeleteAmazing work continues on your terrain, and I loive your corpse tokens.
ReplyDeleteThanks Darren!
DeleteStone fence looks amazing. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteAm enjoying reading through your blog post-by-post: truly, deeply inspirational work. I live not far from Dartmoor and am fairly certain those photographs are of Bellever Forest, the bridge being that over the East Dart River. Thank you for sharing your work - as I said, it is inspiring stuff!
ReplyDeleteAddendum: seeing that you are a fan of dark ambient music, I wonder if I might recommend this act from The Netherlands: https://oldtower.bandcamp.com/album/spectral-horizons
DeleteThank you, Gareth!
DeleteI love dungeon synth. I just didn't think it was the right soundscape for the Gardens setting. I use it for DnD, and it would definitely work for DAoS.
