Cities of Death

This is from a game we had.

The scenery is a mix of Cityfight, the gothic ruins and Forge World. Mixed in there are some Forge World barricades and Warhammer 40K barbed wire.

Yes there in the middle is an unexploded Grot Bomb with probably one very confused, but very lucky grot.

Urban Basing Kit

There are some gaming things I buy which I later think, why on earth did I buy that! Then there are gaming things I buy which I now wish I had bought at least five times rather than just the once!

One of those things is the Urban Basing Kit which was released as part of Cities of Death. The box set contains 2 pots of slate, 2 pots of resin details and 1 pot of razorwire that can be used to decorate the bases of your miniatures or cityfight buildings. It was a limited edition and though since then Games Workshop have released a Warhammer 40k Basing Kit, personally I don’t think it is as good as the original urban basing kit.

I would have bought five, but they were very difficult to get hold of, and when I did find them, the shop only had one left…

One of the urban bases I have made using the kit was given (as per my Ork bases) a base coat of Codex Grey.

Urban Barricades

When Games Workshop released Cities of Death, they released a set of resin Urban Barricades and Walls. Unlike the Urban Basing Kit it is still available at the time of writing. You got six barricades and they blended in nicely with the plastic ruins which were also released with Cities of Death.

First was a black undercoat. I gave the barricades a Codex Grey drybrush, this was quite a heavy drybrush.

The next stage was to paint and drybrush certain areas.

The inside wall was painted with Scorched Brown.

Urban Barricade

The earth sections were drybrushed with Scorched Brown, whilst metal parts were picked out with Boltgun Metal.

Urban Barricade with Space Marine Bike

When Games Workshop released Cities of Death, they released a set of resin Urban Barricades and Walls. Unlike the Urban Basing Kit it is still available at the time of writing. You got six barricades and they blended in nicely with the plastic ruins which were also released with Cities of Death.

They are very well detailed. This is probably my favourite with the wrecked Space Marine bike in the barricade.

First was a black undercoat. I gave the barricades a Codex Grey drybrush, this was quite a heavy drybrush.

The next stage was to paint and drybrush certain areas. The main part of the bike’s body was painted dark green and the tyres were given a brown drybrush. Rust was added to various bits of the barricade.

The earthy sections were drybrushed with Scorched Brown paint. The bike’s metal parts were drybrushed with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.

I painted the broken eagle with Burnished Gold. Painted the walls a grey and highlighted some details with Boltgun Metal.

The earth sections were drybrushed with Scorched Brown.
