Having drybrushed with Tauspet Ochre, I noticed that there were some areas which I had missed with the base coat. So I decided to give the craters a wash of Devlan Mud wash. However as you can see from this close up it didn’t work.
So I have decided to do some touching up to fix this. However apart from this I was quite pleased with the wash effect in toning down the drybrushing, though I am going to drybrush a little more.
The craters were drybrushed with Tauspet Ochre.
You can see where I have missed bits, I hope to catch these with a wash.
I gave the craters a base coat. Rather than use GW paints I used Daler Rowney’s Burnt Umber acrylic paint. The paint does give a slight sheen, but the process I am using should tone that down. To reduce the sheen of the acrylic paint, I sprayed the craters sparingly with a Humbrol Dark Brown spray which gave the desired effect.

To be honest there are lots of nice photographs of all the categories of Golden Demon on the main GW website. Here are a few more from the Warhammer 40000 vehicle category.

So the big news tomorrow at the UK GamesDay will be Warhammer Forge.
Warhammer Forge unveil a veritable horde of work-in-progress resin kits as well as early layout copies of the first in a series of lavish expansion books for the very first time at Games Day UK. You’ll be able to see the staggering range of resin models that have been created over the past year.
In the way that Forge World have transformed how many people play Warhammer 40K, I suspect Games Workshop hopes that Warhammer Forge will do the same.
In the past there have been some Forge World models for Warhammer Fantasy, some scenery and big creatures, however as Forge World move into resin figures, I suspect that this will also happen with Warhammer Forge. This will become the outlet for all those races and creatures we read about, but would never be part of a huge GW release.
I would suspect that at some point we will see a Kislev book and possibly even Cathay.
Another thing we will see for the first time tomorrow is the Grot Mega Tank and Necron Tomb Stalker.
I really like the Grot Mega Tank and hopefully I will be able to pick one up.
Also we will see the Dark Eldar, wonder if any of them will be for sale?
After buying the “not very good” Blastscape I was slighty wary of buying the Moonscape, knowing it was made from the same vac-formed process. However Simon had bought some a year or so back and he said they were very good. So one impulse purchase later and I was the proud owner of a bag of Moonscape craters.
No battlefield would be complete without some fantastic terrain to bring your games to life and provide cover for your units. These Warhammer 40,000 Moonscapes are an excellent representation of the craters and ruined earth left by the devastating weaponry of the 41st millennium. Easily painted to match your gaming board they provide cover for advancing squads and can be used to represent the craters left by destroyed vehicles.
This set contains five different variations of vac-formed plastic craters for use in your games of Warhammer 40,000.
I gave the craters a white undercoat.
Having given the Blastscape a base coat of black and red primer, I used a brown spray to soften the harshness of the base coat.
I was quite pleased with the effect. Next stage is drybrushing.
