Scatter Terrain

While doing a lock down clean up and sort out I discovered my sons old grow your own crystal. It had seen better days and was broken plunging pieces

Being a wargamer I instantly spotted the potential here. I thought this would be something cool for put narrative Konflikt 47 campaign. Surely Professor Lange would be interested in this strange crystal.
 I decided it would be cool if I could get them to glow as well so I ordered some tea lights.

Once they arrived I set to making them.

Glued the lights down to CD bases (not worried about changing the batteries as my smoke lights are still going and they are a good few years old).  Next up was filler all over the base to build up a little rock pile. I then added crystals all over the pile around the tea light.

A layer of black undercoat, then a few layers of grey to build up the rocks. 

Then I added flock and here they are

Quick and dirty but does the job I believe! 

Lock down!

So I've been quiet for a super long time and that's due to yep you've guessed it Covid 19.  Though I am still going to work so I at least get to get out the house. Unfortunatly the lock down means not much miniature hobby being done as I'm either working or entertaining / schooling  6 and 4 year old boys. Though the distinct lack of going out has freed up some cash so I have pre ordered Warlords new Naval Game Victory at sea.

I've been playing on my ps4 World of Warships legends a lot and I had been interested in Cruel Seas but the ships were the smaller craft and it just didn't grab me where as this one is all about big ships fighting it out. (I have a tiny YouTube channel where I put random gaming videos up mostly from Blood bowl or World of Warships click Here to see a video and subscribe if you'd like). I have pre orders the starter set which contains American ships vs Japanese ships. I would have preferred  a Royal Navy  starter set but alas there is not one. It was due for release on the 10th April but due to this horrible virus it has been delayed.

I have also ordered some more 15mm Barbarians to expand my forces there. A unit of spearmen, a banner bearer and a barbarian princess will be winding their way to me soon.


Stay safe people!
