from RayR - The Chamber of Challenge - The Shrine of St Cuthbert 40pts

 

Its Chamber of Challenge time once again!!!

And I'm in "The Shrine"

Shrine: Dearly beloved Challengers, let us bow our heads, and create … a religious-themed entry in this chamber. A model which is worshipping, praying, genuflecting, preaching, pilgrimaging, scourging, crusading, venerating … or maybe just visiting parishioners for tea. Clerics welcome!

I've gotta say I'm mighty pleased with how my Shrine turned out.

This wonderful piece of kit comes from the very talented team at Debris of War

And is available for the great price of £35

You wouldn't believe how long it took me to paint this up!!!!

This is its 4th and final incarnation, I originally tried to paint it up like Andy's from Debris of War,

see below, but I just couldn't get it looking as good. So in the end I gave up and went grey.

I then spoke to Andy on the phone and he told me how he'd painted his. It was so simple I couldn't believe it. But I stuck with the grey anyhow.

I based the Chapel on a large Warbases base.

And added basing flock mixed with PVA to make moss and painted/placed on.

I added a few MDF gravestones, covered with a thin wash of Polyfiller, then inked them. Just to add a 

bit of decoration.

I took a few pics with some figures in to help you guys with its size.

These figures do not count as points.

Also added for effect were loads of Debris of War tufts along with Javis Ivy/climbing weeds

Peek a boo!

In the Chapel set not only do you get the walls but a font, an alter and a small coffin/shrine.

So its down to the points.....

The ruined chapel measures

9.5 inches in length

5.5 inched in width

4 inches at its highest 

Then you have the tiled floor, Alter, Font and Shrine.

Math is not my strong points so after speaking to BigLee and Tamsin, both suggested

20 points, (which I was pretty gutted with!) 😭

And then another 20 for the Challenge Bonus.

Making a total of 40 points
