AoS Magic Alter/Objetive Marker

Hi all,

I've been noodling around with some terrain ideas for AoS (if you not seen my previous post) and through a bit of trial and error I came up with an idea for a magic alter.


It's was cast in epoxy resin in a 40mm square jewlery mould. The bottom half had Carroburg Crimson added to it for the colour and the top was painted in screamer pink. The whole thing was dry brushed in Emperors Children. The bottom half was agitated whilst drying to give a bubbling feel. The top half had the middle pulled up whilst it was curing to give a support in the middle to leave a gap.


The skeleton bits were painted in Zandri Dust and the lathered with BFTBG. The base came from an old toy painted in Mech Standard grey, dry brushed with Dawnstone and washed with Agrax Earthshade.

 ET Voila! Took maybe 2 hours to make in total. Looks good on the table top and has more of that fantastical/high fantasy feel I mentioned in my previous post. 

Well that's another one in that bag! As always feel free to leave a comment below whether they be good bad or inbetween and thanks for reading.

AoS Floating Islands Terrain WIP



Hi all,

Im back with another terrain project I'm working on. My gaming group is having a bit of an AoS renaissance as they are doing a Tale of 4 Warlords log. As our club was largely 40k orientated we have lots of terrain for 40k, but not as much variety for AoS. So I've set to work tinkering on some bits and bobs for us. 

My main thought is AoS isn't a classic fantasy setting, I.e medival, but more 'High Fantasy' like Warcraft or Conan. It just seems more fantastical now and I'm working on terrain to try and reflect that. 

After searching for inspiration I saw some part for floating islands and I soon figured out how to do it.


The islands themselves are made from expanding foam and hole filla. Very cheap to pick up and easy to use. I followed the basic Terrain Tutor method for making these (if you dont know about The Terrain Tutor, seriously go give him a look, loads of tips, tricks and ideas!) 


I've made 3 island in total and I'm currently working on the smaller two to get to grips with how it all works before tackling the larger island above.


The chains are of equal length and space to give 3 good legs. They came from some Halloween chain I picked up years ago as it was being sold off and thought I'd find a use for it eventually. Each link is plastic glued to the next to form a decent bond, it's still fairly fragile but is ok for table top use of taken care of. The hardest bit was trying to get the hang of the chains to make them seem they are hanging rather than holding up the island. 

The pick below is the second attempt at the chains. While still not totally perfect they do look a lot better than the first attempt.


So there you have it, the first piece constructed! I'm actually waiting on the second to dry right now and then I can base that one too.

Well that's all for now. As always please feel free to leave comments below, whether they be good, bad or inbetween!

Zebulon's Scenery Splurge: Ruined Medicum


Hey all,

I'm here again with another scenery splurge, this time not a scratch built building,  but a repurpose of some older kits I bought, with a few additions.

Zebulon's Scenery Splurge: Fuel Tank

Hi all,

I'm back again with my next piece in the Scenery Splurge. At the same time as making the Filtration Unit on the previous post I cobble together a storage tank.....

Zebulon's Scenery Splurge: Filtration Unit

Hi all,

I'm back again with more terrain madness! This time with my scratchbuilt filtration unit, straight out of the underhive!


Zebulon's Scenery Splurge: Forgotten Industrial Shrine


Hi all,

I'm back again with my second scenery piece, this time it's a forgotten shrine.  I thought that as the Imperium is so large and the hive cities are so large there would be memorials that were built and have been totally forgotten about as areas have been abandoned or declined and taken over by the lower hive gangs. 

I thought this was a good opportunity to make something that would stand out a lot compared to the rest of the pieces, but also look more neglected than the rest

Zebulon's Scenery Splurge: Industrial Pumping Tower

 Hi all,

I'm back again with my latest projects, this time focusing around scenery. I've had a really good fun of ideas for scenery lately and this is just the first post of my terrain efforts! First off a pumping tower/silo.......

40k Scenery: Tractor

Hi all,

I'm back again today with a complete random tangent of a project! Total time spent on this was at most 2 hours. I had a toy tractor sat on my desk for ages and couple of weeks ago everything seemed to click......

40k Abandoned Factory Display: Interior Walls



Hello all,

I'm here again with another update on my current project. After finishing most of the scenery pieces... rubble, barrels, power generator etc etc, it was finally time to tackle the main part of the project, the factory interior!

Below is a pretty much a step by step how I did it and I would warn you, this post is pretty pic heavy!


40k Abandoned Factory Display: Power Generator


Hello again,  

I'm back with another WIP for my abandoned factory this time finishing off the thematic scatter terrain with and power generator

40k Abandoned Factory Display: Barrels



Hello all,

This is the next part of my Abandoned Factory Display, some gooed up barrels! The idea behind these is they will add some good LOS blocking terrain to what could be a very open area. 

Lizardmen/Seraphon Terrain



Hey all, I'm here once again with a couple of new pieces I've picked up for my Lizardmen/ Seraphon. The first of which is a rather nice vacuum formed pyramid from Amera Plastic Mouldings

Hey all,

Hey all, today whilst I was shopping around town, I had a brain wave! In a shop called Poundworld, (where every item is £1) I found these:

Hobby: Low Defences On A Budget

 Hey all,
continuing my super cheap terrain defences theme, I built these low barricades. I imagined that these would be something that would have been built in an emergency by the PDF or the Imperial Guard, hence why they're wooden and not rockrete or plasteel or anything like that, quite fitting for the game we're having today as its a Tyranid invasion! Here's how I did them:
