Happy Good Friday, and welcome to The Art of Caesura!
Today we're changing gears once again from last week's look at my hobby room progress. Terrain is on the menu for today; specifically the terrain that I got in Imperium Magazine a few weeks ago.
"Who cares about terrain?" I hear you ask (well actually you probably wouldn't be asking that if you're into the miniature hobby). It turns out the answer is many people. One of my previous terrain posts was the most popular post of its year!
I aspire to bring my Black Templars to Kill Team at some point so these barrels and boxes will make nice scatter terrain.
Rather than my usual Chaos Black primer, which gives a nice smooth finish, I used an old black primer I had, which I like to use for added texture. On most models the texture it adds would be a disaster - obscuring fine details - but on terrain or other large metallic models, I think it actually creates a more convincing "corroded metal" texture.
Over a Leadbelcher spray, I painted Snakebite Leather to bring out the Aquillas.
Then it was time for grime! I applied AK's Streaking Grime before adding blotches of Dark Brown.
I then got out the Q-tips and mineral spirits and started reducing off the enamel washes.
Finally, I went back in with a torn off sponge to add some brighter silver highlights on the edges.
And it was as simple as that! Let's take a look at this terrain in a more moody environment:
You can really see, in the picture above, the effect of the old spray paint adding texture.
I hope you all have a great Easter! I'll see you next week on The Art of Caesura!
