As a card carrying jammy git i was lucky enough to get my hands on the fantastic fortress from fogou models new kickstarter ahead of time in order to slap some paint on it and see how it holds up to painterly abuse.
First of all i should say it's made the same exceptionally high standard as all of fogou's terrain, Cast in dark jesmonite which makes it hardwearing as well as full of detail and texture. In terms of painting you could give this model a couple of quick drybrushes right onto the resin and it would look excellent.
But it absolutely shines with a bit of love - Washes and pigments really let the details shine through.
Over the next few days I'll show how I paint my castle walls using a handful of colours, then experiment with some new colours and styles to see how versatile the kit is with different genres of gaming.
Anyway, here it is so far!
The method for these pieces is pretty simple - A white zenithal priming with a spray can, A light grey basecoat, pick out some different coloured stones, then apply a couple of brown black and green washes, dabbing off the extra with a tissue. Finally add some thicker washes to your muddy/mossy areas, letting it pools for damp stains, and finally chuck some pigment at it
If you haven't already I'd recommend giving the kickstarter a look since there's some cool extras including turrets and an oldschool gatehouse. In the mean time I'll get back to painting.
