Menhirs for the gaming table - a tutorial on D&B
« on: July 15, 2019, 10:09:31 PM »
Dear all,

after a fairly long hiatus I got back into writing tutorials:

I start with a short one on menhirs. The process is pretty straight forward.

Menhirs for the gaming table.

Basically you shape a rough menhir shape out of XPS, cover it in filler and work it while it is wet. Painting it is also fairly easy: Grey basecoat, drybrush and pigment wash. The only new thing I did was adding yellow lichen.

All the menhirs are magnetised, so that I can fit them on my modular gaming boards.

Hope this is of interest to some on here.



Usually I take a scenic shot to complement the tutorials. I will retake it again later, as I had only my trusty Smartphone camera at hand. That said I do like the 'light breaking through a clearing' atmosphere.

Very nice indeed! 8)

And the phone scenic shot is already pretty awesome; very realistic.

Obviously not an Asterix and Obelix fan then...  :D
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...
