Industrial Pipe Terrain

Here is the Industrial pipe terrain. Made by Armorcast a long time ago.

I used dollarstore paints and drybrush techniques.

Farm Accessory Set

Next for terrain is the more medieval Farm Accessory set from JR Miniatures.

 I got two sets so I can set up mega barnyard action or enough to flavor two tables. The water troughs are mostly for decoration, although they could be hindering for a half inch, but the rest is great for hard and hindering cover.

Middle East Street Median

Here is JR Miniatures Middle Eastern Street Median.

 These are good for flavor on the tabletop as they are not hazardous nor really hindering. and definitely not blocking, as seen below.

I again used dollarstore paints and basic drybrushing techniques.

Armorcast Pipe Walls

Next up for terrain is the Armorcast Pipe Wall system. These pipe walls provide cover and are also reconfigurable.

They were primed black Krylon and drybrushed with dollar store paints (very dark grey, light grey, light grey/silver 50/50 mix, and various colors for the controls).

Science Fiction Accessory Set

Another bunch of terrain that I finished is the Science Fiction Accessory Set from JR Miniatures.

 I used various dollar store paints. As you can see, it is perfect for Infinity and Warhammer 40k.

The tactical table. I painted various coloured dots to represent different forces and objectives.

 I like these pieces because they can be for any scale.

Kinda retro computer with a Combined Army hacker trying to break in.

 The drone looks like it might take a nap.

General Ossrum

General Ossrum is a solid caster with some great tricks. His putting snipe on the Earthbreaker is a nice surprise to opponents.

 I painted him the same as my forgeguard. I added to his skirt Battledress Green and drybrushed Traitor Green plus used it on his cap. Rhulic Gold was used on the shiny bits. On his belt pouches I used Iosian Green and drybrushed Wurm Green.

 Then it was Meridius Blue on the blade and Drybrushed Arcane Blue on it and regular application on his goggles.

 I then used GW Agrax Earthshade on the model as a wash.

Now onto more Rhulic models: Lord Rockbottom, Herne and Brun.

Durgen Madhammer

Durgen Madhammer is feisty little Rhulic. He is great with units that have AOEs and in melee he can fight multitudes of weak units with ease. Just remember with his feat, you don't boost the damage roll for the "on target" AOEs, only the surrounding blast damage.

 I used the basic paint scheme of my Forgeguard.

To that I added to his hair P3 Khador Red and drybrushed Khador Red Highlight. For his sash I painted it P3 Skorne Red and drybrushed Khador Red. The leather part of the hammer was painted P3 Bloodstone. The blue magical effects were painted P3 Meridius Blue and drybrushed P3 Arcane Blue. As a note, from now on, I will not put P3 in front of all my paints but If I use other companies paints I will indicate such.

I have been finding the wash I put on, Army Painter Strong Tone, too dark so I used GW Agnar Earthshade. I really like it.

Next is General Ossrum.

Ghordson Earthbreaker

The Ghordson Earthbreaker is the largest Privateer Press model I have put together. I have used the base of it as a proxy in ten games with friends but now it can intimidate the battlefield better now that it is no longer is stealth-ed and incorporeal. Using him with Thor Steinhammer has been magnificent but I think having a mechanic or two (a Tinker and Moonclaw) would enable him to remain on the battlefield longer.

I have my partially painted General Ossum in front for size comparison.

Here he is bare bones. I used JB quickweld for putting it together but left the head unglued in it so I can have it leer in the direction of unwanted attention.

 Then I primed him black and heavily drybrushed him with P3 Cold Steel. The brown stuff you see on the model is Marmite, a disgusting yeast spread. It also prevents paint from sticking to it. More on that later.

 Then I sprayed it with a tan color and drybrushed it with Hammerfall Khaki, lightly drybrushed the upper details with 50/50 Hammerfall Khaki and Menoth White and the lower areas with Gun Coprs Brown. The red areas were done with Skorne Red and drybrushed with Khador Red Highlight.

 As you can see, it looks glopped on.

 Same for the joints and the details are lost...but wait.

After brushing with an old toothbrush in a bucket of warm water the Marmite comes off and leaves the bare P3 Cold Metal underneath. Now I have that worn and battle damaged look.

I used this for my Warhammer 40k 20's Gangster Ork Trukk and was happy about it then and am happy about it now.

I then used some nupastel from Prismacolor on the work areas for a rust effect then put too much Army Painter Dark Tone wash on.

Soon I will put a protective coating on the model to prevent further flaking over time. he main thing I would change is less wash!

Now onto the few Rhulic I have left.

Armorcast - Overhead Pipe System

 I remember in the 90's when Armorcast was one of the only terrain makers around. In the early 2000's I bought some of their products here and there for Warhammer 40k but never painted them. Now I'm muckling down and getting it ready for the tabletop starting with this overhead pipe system.

The come apart and go together easily. They were primed black, heavily drybrushed dark dollarstore grey and drybrushed dollarstore silver. Some dollarstore dark and light greens were used on the wiring with dollarstore orange on the buttons.

 Its good for Warmachine. I can see jacks and beasts either taking a movement penalty to go under or trying to damage them and possibly setting an explosion. Could be cool for scenarios.

 Also good for Malifaux.

 And for Infinity as well.

 Because they can come apart and together, they can make different configurations. They also store nicely.

If I was on a smaller budget, I suppose the same thing could be made with plastic items, plasticard and straws.
