Softening the Blastscape
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.
Basecoating the Blastscape
After applying the texture and letting it dry fully I gave the blastscape a basecoat of black and red primer.
Texturising the Blastscape
I decided to add some texture to the blastscapes. I mixed some polyfilla, white glue, sand and water. This was then brushed liberally over the blastscapes. These photographs were taken when they were wet.
Sanding the Blastscape
Having been slightly disappointed with the quality of the Blastscape scenery, I decided that I would try and improve on the models by adding some texture and scenic items.
Using PVA (white glue) and GW sand I flocked the edges. I also added some GW slate to some of the pieces.
Blastscape
It came in a plastic bag! They are vac formed plastic.
Blastscape
When I saw this product for Apocalypse on the Games Workshop website, it looked really good.
So I thought I would get a pack.
Alas the original image on the website was of some resin masters, the vac formed final product was nothing like what we saw in the previews. Though GW did revise the product image to what you actually got rather than using resin masters.
It was a pity really that they didn’t make resin versions (like the Urban Barricades and Ork Barricades). Having said all that, they were a splash release and are now no longer available to buy.
They came in a plastic bag.
Snakebitez Ork Boar Boyz
This week Games Workshop announced the release of some new Orc Boar Boyz for Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
Orc Boar Boyz are rough, tough and very determined. They ride into battle atop War boars – evil-minded creatures that will take every opportunity to maim, bite and kick the enemy of their Orc masters. Boar Boyz are the shock cavalry of an Orc and Goblin army, and they love nothing better that to gore, stamp and inflict damage on the enemy.
These are very nice looking plastic miniatures.
I can’t be the only Warhammer 40,000 Ork player looking at these new models and thinking time to add some Boar Boyz for my Feral Orks.
I have done this before with some other Warhammer Fantasy Orc Boar Riders.
Cities of Death Game
One of our games based in the ruins of an Imperial City.
My Orks are advancing through the ruins, they are defended by Imperial Guard.
Honoured Imperium
Games Workshop have released details and made available for pre-order their plastic Honoured Imperium kit.
This box set contains three pieces of plastic Warhammer 40,000 scenery, including a 6-inch high Space Marine statue, a broken Aquila and a section of ruined building.
I mentioned the broken Aquila (or fallen eagle) a few days ago and had photographed a prototype back at GamesDay 2007.
I do hope what we are seeing on the website reflect what the actual models are like, he says reflecting on the Blastscape pictures!!!
