Graveyard Walls, Painting

In this post, I finish up my collection of graveyard walls:

 

Graveyard Walls, Assembling

It's been a while since I've posted anything. I had my hands full with a scenery commission, but now that it is finished, I can return to the blog with... More scenery! Time to build some graveyard walls for my battlefield.

New From Skull Forge Scenics: Small Ruined Obelisks

I've created a new pack of resin scenery pieces that perfect for Undead Egyptian basing embellishments...

 

Saying Goodbye to the Attack Bike and Adding a 100mm Base to my Shop

After years of debating whether or not I should paint my Black Templar attack bikes, it looks like GW has made the decision for me... 

 

Skull Forge Scenics Shop Update

I've been updating my Etsy store and adding more products to my eBay shop; here's the lowdown on where you can buy my resin scenery and what's new:

 

New Resin Bases From Skull Forge Scenics

I've been gradually adding to my range of industrial-themed resin bases. New sets of 90mm x 52mm oval and 50mm round bases have been added to my Skull Forge Scenics store. Here's a look at the entire collection...

 

 

 

New From Skull Forge Scenics: Trash Bins

A quick post to announce some new scenery in my Skull Forge Scenics store: www.skullforgescenics.etsy.com

A set of 10 resin trash bins, perfect scatter terrain for modern-era tabletop gaming like Marvel Crisis Protocol, or even sci-fi games like Infinity and 40K. 

 

New Ruined Crypt and Painting Tutorial

 

The new ruined crypt is available from Skull Forge Scenics! This piece is perfect for enhancing the base of a large monster, or for representing the gravesites in a Legions of Nagash army. Below is a tutorial for painting the crypt.

Gearing up for the Legions of Nagash

The new Legions of Nagash battletome hits the stores this weekend. I've got mine pre-ordered, and I've been working on a few odds and ends to get my army ready for the new rules. I've been following the previews and leaks, so I have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

 

One of the army traits that has been previewed is the ability to place gravesites on the battlefield. All of the Legion armies can mark four gravesites– two need to be in the player's own territory, and the other two can be anywhere on the battlefield. The gravesites allow units within range to either heal D3 wounds, or to regenerate D3 wounds worth of models on Summonable units. They also allow those units to be set-up "in the grave" and, during the battle, a Hero near the site can summon that unit to the battlefield. ("Summonable" is a new keyword that applies to certain units like skeletons, dire wolves, grave guard, black knights, spirit hosts, etc.)

The roadside shrines and ruined shrines that I sell through my Skull Forge Scenics shop are perfect for representing these, so I painted up a few for my army:

 

 

The shrines are available at: www.skullforgescenics.etsy.com

I've also been working on more skeletons. My Red Guard skeletons have been topped off at two 30-man units, but since the maximum size is 40, I want the option to field two matching units, and that means 20 more skeletons.

 

 

I posted a blog about the process I use for converting these skeletons a few years ago. You can view that here.

 

 

Another project I finally put the lid on is my Morghasts' weapons. I painted the swords for the Harbingers so I can field the models with either option. It looks like the new warscrolls will allow the Morghast Harbingers and the Morghast Archai to field either or both weapon options. And there's an army trait in one of the legions that grants Morghasts an additional attack. I'll be looking forward to using Harbingers with their 18" charge range, armed with the high-rend, high damage halberds, and an additional attack with them! Sadly, I don't think there's a way to summon Morghasts anymore, so they'll have to slog it across the battlefield like everyone else.

 

 

I made a counter to represent my Tomb Scorpion when it's burrowed underground. I place this on the table near my general as a visual reminder that I need to surface the scorpion rather than forgetting about him until the end of the game.

 

The tail is magnetized so I can pop it off the marker and onto the model when it surfaces. A small pin beside the tail keeps it from spinning around.

 

 

Finally, I've made a bunch of wound counters for my Nighthaunt models. I used soul tokens from Warmachine:

 

I attached them to sticks for painting and then based them on coins.

 

 

 

The counters and wound markers also allow me to tick off the box on the hobby bingo card for building and painting accessories for my army.

 

'Til next time!

Skull Forge Scenics Industrial Bases

Something new from Skull Forge Scenics– I made a set of 32mm industrial bases, perfect for basing your Space Marine army. 

 

 

 

 

The set comes with four "flat" bases (2 of each) and two "step" bases (1 of each). The step bases are perfect for making sergeants or weapon specialists stand out.

 

 

The set also comes with two accessory sprues containing valve wheels and deck plates that can be used to embellish the bases.

 

 

 

Pick up a set for your army in my Skull Forge Scenics Shop.

'Til next time!

New Blighted Well, From Skull Forge Scenics

This Blighted Well from Skull Forge Scenics is a last-minute surprise for 2017, and the timing couldn't be better with the upcoming Nurgle releases for Warhammer Age of Sigmar!

 

 

 

My original plan was to release a Blighted Well, but I figured a "normal" well might appeal to a wider range of people and games, so I made a master casting of the basic well before "putrifying" it. The Blighted Well is overflowing with puss and giant maggot-worms. Woe betide anyone who falls in. (They will wish there was only a long-haired, creepy zombie-girl at the bottom!)

 

The blighted well is available for purchase HERE. Pick one up for your battlefield, and ring in the New Year with blessings of filth and decay!

 

The original Town Well is also available. I previewed this a couple weeks ago, but here is a painted example. This well may be old, but its water is still safe to drink!

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can purchase the Town Well and Blighted Well in my Skull Forge Scenics shop!

Happy New Year!

Well, well, well...

Today I put up a new product in my Skull Forge Scenics online store. This town well is the first of my "Ruins of the Ancient Realm" line of non-graveyard fantasy terrain. I kept it fairly generic, so it will fit with medieval fantasy games like Warhammer, Kings of War, or Warmachine, or old west games Like Wild West Exodus, or even similarly scaled historical games.

 

 

 

 

I wanted to make something with a broken shingled roof, and I'm really happy with the results. The initial castings came out great!

 

 

 

 

I'll post more pictures as soon as I get one painted up.

If you've been following my twitter feed, you'll know that I've also been working on my Adepta Sororitas kill team again for the new Shadow War league the shop is starting next week. Once they're finished, I'll be tackling some of the Primaris space marines from the starter set. I've also got a handful of figures for my Skaven Pestilens army, like the Plague Censor Bearers, which I might get to this year...

'Til next time!
