Howdy Folks,

I'm new to these parts, thanks for the warm welcome so far. Just wanted to get the ball rolling with some Strange Aeons stuff I started working on. My buddy Pete got me into the game and it's been rolling ever since (check out our batrep http://sarcophagi.blogspot.com/2012/06/strange-aeons-battle-report-chapter-1.html)

First up is a cleaned, modified and repainted old GW vac-formed terrain piece. I received this from my buddy Wil who used to work for GW. I remember playing Mordheim on this thing in '98, shame to have it languish. Given that I have 2 kids, work FT and go to school almost FT I needed a way to get some good terrain onto the table, so I started with this, to fill out the table and not start from scratch either. I finished it with a combination of foam-safe spray paint, sponge painting, drybrushing, washes, flocks and even 4mm gems. Note the use of the FFG Cthulhu marker as a statue.

Here are some pics of the completed Ritual Site:









You can see more pics and more description about what I did over on my blog Sarcophagi: http://sarcophagi.blogspot.com/2012/07/strange-aeons-ritual-site.html

Up next, a Scene of Horror, some WIP on other Scenes, objective markers, figs and more.

Pretty scenery!

It centaily captures the mood for SA.

And good articles at you blog too!

Thanks for sharing.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

Wow!

Great tarting up of a fairly average bit of scenery and turning it into a fantastic centerpiece!
Well done, it looks great!
 :-* :-* :-*

What a great way to introduce yourself.
Welcome aboard!

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to getting some more stuff posted up this week. I'm trying to get the rest of my Threshold team done this week. It's only two more minis which only makes the struggle all the more insulting  lol

Wow  :o

That looks really nice. I'd never have guessed is was a GW piece (maybe something to do with the lack of skulls!). Seriously though, do you have an details on what the original piece was? I'd love to compare to see how much work you've done on it.

Cheers

Thanks Andy and everybody else.

Andy, here is a pic that I grabbed from GIS showing what it looked like before. You can see it is just primer grey with some green GW flock glued on.



And another from waaaay back in the late 90's of the exact same piece, under the large Vampire bat, meant to show him when he ran.



To your point about skulls, there was one on the dias but I carved it out to make room for the Cthulhu statue I painted, based on FFG's Bag of Cthulhu.

Heh, we used to have that piece as a prize and a centrepiece for our WHFB team battles. The winners were recorded on the walls every year.

Strangely enough, that generic terrain line from the 90s fits horror gaming much better than the current "grim" line with pointless cartoon skulls everywhere. :?

True that. I also have the lil' GW graveyard and that is perfect for skirmish games as well.
