Gnutten paints Terrain

By Gnutten, in Runewars Painting and Modeling

Hello,

Long post...

Well this is a fun little projects. The Runewars terrain markers just had to be replaced with 3D terrain. The challenge is of course to replicate the design and still keep it playable.

The Stone Terrace:

Made from Hirst Arts moulds (love that stuff!)

with 6 troops

The Forest (GW trees):

Crumbing Wall (more Hirst Arts) :

The Swamp:

Stronghold (Hirst Arts. Made a slight redesign since I didn't like that the Stronghold card was asymmetric, you are fortified from all angles. )

With 2 Troops

Temple Ruins (Hirst Arts and an old Target Games altar, some stone slabs made from Green Stuff Worlds rolling pin)

Ok, thats what I done so far. The other terrain cards are in progress.

These are fantastic! I love what you did with the Stronghold and the Swamp. And how did you get that cobblestone look on the Temple Ruins?

The stronghold is awesome! I also really like the fountain. Nice job!

Thanks for the nice comments! ?

The cobblestones is common clay mangled with a textured rolling pin from Green Stuff World. Sort of planning making a road system out of that stuff.

I noticed that the spiral stairs in the Stronghold didn't show that well... so lets add a picture from above:

Latari Memorial (aluminium foil on a stick with some clay on top)

Units actually balance on the mushrooms.

Open an Etsy shop! These are great!

Absolutely fantastic!

These are amazing!

Looks fantastic. Can you please link to the moulds used?

Thank you all for kind comments. ?

I think 3D terrain helps out the game board quite a lot. They are rather fun small terrain challenges.

The moulds are from Hirst Arts, http://www.hirstarts.com

The are all represented on the fieldstone line http://www.hirstarts.com/molds/moldsfield.html

Fieldstone Basic Block Mold #701

(Basic wall blocks)

Fieldstone Accessories Mold #71

(Steps and arch sections)

4" Round Fieldstone Mold #72

(Used for the spiral stair and the sacred font)

Ruined Fieldstone Mold #75

(for making ruins)

Cavern Floor Mold #281

(for the stone terrace)

You can really do quite a lot of fun projects with these moulds. I posted my DnD dungeon on the Hirst Arts forum

For Runewars terrain its the Smoldering Forest, Pillaged Cart and Bone Totem next in line. The might be done rather soon, must just finish a small project before that. Unfortunately the Raiders Tent and Desecrated Chapel (from Kethra A'laak Hero Expansion) is really hard to something good from. The problem there is that its absolutely no way go get something where the 4 base troop can fit within that terrain base. They will be complete buildings and you remove the troop from the board when you enter. Looking at the new box sizes I assume that this will be the norm for the upcoming commanders terrain pieces.

Just a minor update. I forgot to post 2 terrain pieces.

Bone Totem: (also shown in a separate thread.. sorry for the spam)

Side one.. Some Uthuk Banner (some old GW banner and skull)

Another side

And a Pillaged Cart

The Cart and barrels are from a Mantic Terrain Crate

What did you use for the bases?

Wow some more serious talent on show, your scenery sings. Wonder if there's a clever way to merge scenery and trays so scenery becomes the tray but would need some clever thought.
