Great Escape Games – Gallows Set
Great Escape Games, the company behind Dead Man's Hand, has just released another plastic terrain kit for the Old West: a Gallows.
This new addition to their extensive range of buildings and accessories sees them move another staple piece of every Western from MDF to plastic. We received a pre-release sample of just the sprue and assembly instructions, without the official boxed set.
The Gallows Set contains the gallows itself, as well as four 28 mm scale miniatures, all on a single large plastic sprue. It has an RRP of 20 GBP and will be available from October 10th.
Warhammer Fantasy – Forge World Ruined Chaos Temple
I was able to pick up another Forge World terrain pieces, and this time it was the Ruined Chaos Temple. This one was initially released in 1999, as TR WFB S 017 (while the old online shop listed it with the Reference FWW019/MO and sold through the 2000s.
It started at 38 GBP but quickly was moved to another price bracket, at 42 GBP / 71 EUR / 84 USD for the eight resin pieces. The Chaos Temple was designed by Simon Harris, who did quite a few pieces for Forge World, among them some of the scenery pieces later collected under the Warhammer Forge brand.
The ruined chaos temple is made from a large base, which is roughly 18 x 23 cm in foot print, along with six pillars in different height and a ring for the pit.
Warmaster – A Fortress
Forge World used to offer terrain for Warmaster, you can find some pictures of it on the Collecting Citadel Miniatures Wiki. But these are incredibly rare and you can't really get your hands on them anymore.
Some reached out into the historical wargaming ranges, picking up medieval castles in 10-15mm scale and used those. But with 3d printing the opportunities moved and casting up larger pieces as a solid block of resin became less attractive.
We went with Dark Realms STL files for the Deth Wizards table, and they offer an interesting range of walls, towers and buildings under the name of Castle Argent as well. These should be printable at 40% and I gave the Dark Realms Castle Argent Gate & Walls and Keep a try on the BambuLab A1.
I checked the scale beforehand in chitubox, if they would properly fit the Warmaster bases and they turned out great!
Mortal Gods – Objective Markers
In preparation of the upcoming demo table and battle reports on Mortal Gods I supported Dino by building some object markers.
I printed the base decoration elements from this set by Edinburgh Miniature Company and a chest from the A Ghostly Odyssey set by Loot Studios and grabbed some 40mm round bases by Warlord Games. Usually my go-to plastic bases are the flat ones by Renedra, but as I wanted to have the decoration immerse more into the ground, I went with the small lipped ones by Warlord.
In total I wanted to build nine objective markers, primarely used for Mortal Gods. You'll mostly be fine with six, but I just wanted to be sure and have a bit of variation depending on the scenario.
Age of Sigmar – Realmscape Guardian Idol
The Realmscape Guardian Idol is part of the Realmscape terrain range and was included twice in the Stormbringer series by Hachette (issues 65 and 74).
The Guardian Idol was included in the Realmscape Expansion Set and the Age of Sigmar Extremis Starter Set alongside other terrain pieces such as the Realmscape Ruins and the Nexus Syphon.
Deth Wizards – The Town Part 5
With only a few days to go, I had to get the terrain ready for the CONflict event and our Deth Wizards table - and the next step was a terrain wash.
As I didn't intend to drown them with Army Painter Washes (and drain my hobby budget by buying 17 ml pots), I went online to look for a proper terrain wash recipe and came across the one by Seb Makes Stuff. So I bought these two special ingredients and mixed them with a bit of brown paint.
Give it a good shake and I went with one of these foam brushes, as they work quite well with large(r) surfaces and give you quite a bit of control over the amount of wash you apply. Yet - depending on the structure of your model, you get quite a bit of wear and tear in no time, so make sure you have replacement on hand.
Star Wars Legion – Outer Rim Battles Terrain Pack
As part of the coverage on the Adepticon Road Map, we received a large package from Asmodee containing various boxed sets from their Star Wars Legions, Shatterpoint and Marvel Crisis Protocol tabletop wargames series. We want to review these sets, box by box, starting with the Outer Rim Battle Terrain Pack from Star Wars Legion.
With our upcoming Outer Rim campaign, we are excited to cover this terrain pack. This set has an RRP of 59,99 USD and contains ruins, rubble and walls, along with two mouse droids - a critter is usually included in each of these sets as an easter egg.
Having seen the product pictures/front of the box prior to this review, I was surprised by the amount shown on the back — more on that below.
Deth Wizards – The Town Part 4
The progress on the houses took the majority of my easter holidays and I picked up where I left off the last time.
I added further paints to the buildings, starting with the grey for the chimneys.
Deth Wizards – The Town Part 3
My printer has been busy - really busy. Putting through 3 liters of resin in just a month. That might not sound a lot to some of you, but I use a mono 4k - mostly for bits and pieces - so that is a new record for me.
I gave you an overview, on what I printed in the last article, focusing on the scatter terrain itself, and now had a bit of larger and mid-sized sections.
While I did the mock-ups, inspired by the Warhammer Siege and Mordheim barricade sections, I placed them on some spare bases that I have (these are Renedra bases that come with a lot of historical miniatures). You can of course use plastic card, but I have more than enough of these and they provide a sturdy base to work with.
Deth Wizards – The Town Part 2
The buildings are dry and I started painting them, from the inside out. I wanted something, that looked a bit like the old Warhammer buildings from the battle reports.
On Facebook I came across this Mordheim City Board by MSTerrainLab and it captures pretty much, in a grimmer way, where I want to go with this. Yellow-beige walls, blue-ish roofs and a gray-ish highlight.
