Hoi,
As We are nearing the end of the Challenge I think I have two more departments in the Challenge Library I would like to visit and the first one is the nature department. While I had big plans for this location, I only was able to get a fraction done.
Since I have two FDM 3D printers (one's awaiting a new hot-end at the moment but okay) I have printed a bucket load of terrain I need to paint. Did I say I totally HATE painting terrain? Well I do! At the same time I am lacking some decent terrain and therefore I needed to get cracking. With the release of the Old World I wanted some trees done and printed quite a few from different producers, as I intend to mainly play Old World in 3 locations on the Old World map, I wanted terrain to match. These locations are Bretonnia/ the empire (mostly grasslands and woods), Lustria (jungle terrain and Aztec looking ruins) and Khemri (since a friend at the club plays Tomb Kings) I ordered two new terrain mats, predictably one deserty mat and one lush green mat, and started painting trees. Now most of these I wanted without a canopy to get that spooky looking Fangorn kinda look, but I also inluded one with canopy just to show how the rest will look when I get the chance to print some more.
There's also a lot of treestumps, all but one are misprints due to running out of PLA while printing and I filled them up with wood-filler to use them as difficult terrain.
As you can see from this picture I also had planned on painting A Lustrian Temple and Spawning Pool as well as some more ruins for Mordheim, sadly I didn't get round to them.
Painting these trees was really simple so I cannot see me getting any more points out of them than 1 point a piece so with the location bonus I gather them to net me 32 points.
Cheers Sander
Sylvain: Despite your reluctance to paint terrain, these pieces look very good. Great job!
Nice looking terrain. Being able to print what you need for thematic battlefields is really cool. I am a total noob with 3d printing but it’s getting harder all the time to resist.
ReplyDeleteI now have both my printers online, production will increase I am sure ;-)
DeleteThose trees are very atmospheric!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to have finished them!
DeleteNice spooky trees!
ReplyDeletethanks, that they are!
DeleteGreat evil looking forest. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see them in action!
DeleteInteresting collection - I am already visualising your worlds. I am sure you will get payback on the table - many figures often look better in scenery
ReplyDeleteyes well, there's a lot of work still to be done, but the first step is done!
DeleteUrgh, I hate painting terrain too. These look great though.
ReplyDeleteI so much prefer painting mijiatures to terrain, but they need each other so we have no choice I guess...
DeleteLove the trees!
ReplyDeleteI will give them a hug for you ;-)
DeleteNice work on the treees
ReplyDeletethanks heaps!
DeleteExcellent terrain post!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
