Home made Stucco/Adobe Walls

 

I decided that I needed some Stucco/Adobe type walls for my games. 

I had some off cuts of plastic fascia board, so I decided that I would use these cut into 50mm strips at various lengths. 

I scribed some random brick patterns on these (I think that I may have overdone this 🤣) 

These were then mounted on suitable bits of plasticard with the edges roughly chamfered 

I then covered them with a glue & filler mix to add a base for the top coat. I then plastered them with some ready mixed filler for the render, leaving the brick pattern exposed. 

I cut larger pieces for entrance’s & carefully cut arches out of the plastic boarding. I also angled the tops so that cardboard ridge tiles could be glued in after rendering. 

They were then painted shades of beige & off white. 

Below are some test pictures of the walls set out as a small village with some bits of desert type terrain that I knocked up on a mat  just to see what it all looked like 😁

The 3 square buildings are plastic from Renedra, the large one with the striped awning is scratch built, started last century & been kicking about for years, I think it was originally for 40k, that’s why it’s oversize! The white building is an MDF one painted by Orctrader that I picked up from him on LAF & the one with the big arch is a recent quick build by me from off cuts of foam board left over from the tenement build. The two market stalls are also scratch built from skewers, balsa & baby wipes.

Bears Head Miniatures Undead Ogre

Just finished painting the Bears Head Miniatures Undead Ogre for use in Saga Age of Magic or RoSD. 

I absolutely loved painting this figure & tried to get a mottled effect on the skin 🤔 not sure how successful that was really, but I’m happy with it. 

Random Fantasy Miniatures Photo Dump

Here’s a dump of photos of Fantasy stuff that I’ve been painting for Rangers of Shadow Deep, Saga Age of Magic & just because I wanted to 😁

First up a collection of Zombies from different manufacturers, a halfling Michael Jackson impersonator (haven’t got a clue where I got this from!) then a Bad Squiddo Revenant followed by a R Squared Zombie from the Zombie Plague Kickstarter 

Next a couple of old citadel Undead Figures, a Zombie & a Ghoul

Yet More Undead, this time Two Skeletal Ogres. These are from Ral Partha Europe (I think)

Here are some superb Goblin Archers from Outlaw Miniatures

This is the fantastic Pact Devil from Bears Head Miniatures

Followed by A Heresy Miniatures Vampire and Goblinn Hero

Some Gripping Beast fantasy figures released at Halloween last year,
at the top is the Grendel & below him is a Witch

And last but no means least is this is the superb Old School Bugbear from Meridian Miniatures,
absolutely loved painting this & cant wait for the rest of the Bugbears to be delivered.  

Rangers of Shadow Deep - The Boss Level

Well we completed the final scenario from The Temple of Madness- The Mirror Enduring.

I used a Old School Bugbear from Meridian Miniatures as Greviks & an Old Grenadier Miniatures Necromancer as Trekatis. We knocked up a wall of fire from some bits of mdf that I had kicking about with a super quick paint job, my youngest had said “it’s magic fire, so it needs to be blue!” 😁 & used some strips of fly mesh as the chain net. I also cut up an old CD and blue tacked it to the back of the snake headed gate thing, to create the mirror.

Only 3 of the companions managed to get through the flames without getting burnt!
Whilst attacking & killing Grevkis in close combat, Trekatis had been severely weakened by constant archery & one final charge with a critical hit finished him off for good!
Everyone managed to make it out alive, Just!
Another superb mission from Mr. McCullough

Rangers of Shadow Deep - Temple of Madness - The Pit of Ghouls

We’ve being playing The Rangers of Shadow Deep Mission, The Temple of Madness & I Keep forgetting to take photos so that I could write them up.
Anyway we played The Pit of Ghouls Scenario, which is played on 2 levels. I used the Battle Systems Terrain that I had picked up second hand over on LAF specifically to play RoSD.

Anyway my 2 boys & me set up as per the Scenario instructions on one ledge, with the intention of getting to the other ledge in one piece.

We decided to try & shoot as many Ghouls as possible from the starting ledge, then swing across with a couple of our heroes to try & open the exit door.
All didn’t go quite to plan! The shooting was appalling! Everyone who tried to swing across fell off!!
But fighting the Ghouls off the top of the ladder worked really well though!

The heroes that fell off the ropes managed to get to the other ledge & opened the door, helping all the rest of the company to get across the Pit with relative ease.
This is another superb mission book from Joseph McCullock & worth every penny.
