Greetings, Challengers and Challenge Fans!
Just a quick post with something I rustled up after finishing my submission for Awdry's Atoll.
Nothing special, just a rather dilapidated farm cart for use as scatter terrain in pre-industrial skirmish gaming.
It's a Nolzur's Marvellous Miniatures primed model, and it's been glued to a Warbases 80mm round MDF base.
It was basecoated with GW Rhinox Hide, and drybrushed with GW Gorthor Brown and Kommando Khaki. Ropes were picked out in GW Bleached Bone before inking with Agrax Earthshade.
The groundwork was laid down with Vallejo White Pumice Paste, and painted in successively lighter earth shades.
Static grass was added and broken up with Tajima1 wild grass and flower tufts.
It's going to be useful as set dressing or cover for any warriors or soldiers who find themselves in the vicinity when the manure hits the winnowing fan (pre-industrial metaphor there).
As a 28mm vehicle, it's worth a princely 20 points on paper; but this is rather different to a truck or tank! So I'll recommend scoring as an artillery piece equivalent for 10 points.
What's next? Well, I have to get across to the mainland from Awdry's Atoll, so the next landfall will have to be Reidy's Reef, unless a balloon trip can be arranged.
Stay tuned...
Ev

ReplyDeleteNice work Evan.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteAs attractive an abandoned cart as I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteAs Paul says useful across the ages. Now, I think an brace of oxen and a manure pile would be a great partner to this fine piece.
ReplyDeleteTaking 'scatter terrain' to new and frightening levels - thanks Curt!
