Hi Malc,

Owen here. Following on from our conversation at Penkridge about scratch-building with Jenga blocks I found your thread and bloody hell super-inspired now! Lots of dominoes and Jenga blocks at home now being turned into a copy of this build but Frostgrave coloured. Once I've got enough painted to make it worthwhile photographing I'll get a thread of my own up rather than side-track this one.

Nicely done!  It puts me in mind of the jungle level in Diablo II.

I had a google and Wow temple levels!! I do get a bit of inspiration from watching let's plays on Youtube. I mainly look at the buildings and such. Thanks for that.

Loving this thread, cant wait to see more great terrain 

When I can think of more I will post. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks Coop! You have so much stuff already photographed the people here will adore seeing your stuff!
The Future Wars thread and Post Apocalyptic threads are gonna be bedazzled by your stuff!
Frostgrave as well!

Here's what I have in my Graveyard so far! I just added the GW walls and fencing. Plus my Archways at the back for some edging!

Dominoes, the boxes they came in and Jenga blocks abound! For the sarcophagus style grave blocks I simply snipped some of the dominos into rough halves and then filled the inner sections with hairy string cut to short lengths then pva glue was liberally applied over the string! Repeat till you have the depth of filling inside the grave you desire then paint!





I do really like the sarcophagus. I just really need to dig through my spareparts box for more ornamentation!

Excellent work, as always. Love it!

I love the way you paint stone. It looks like it's been gathering filth and dust for thousands of years, which is exactly what I'm looking for in a haunted ruin.

  Thank you!  COuld be the amount of dust in the my house though!!

I do tend to stick to a paint scheme that is easy and I can reproduce very quickly. Most of the paintwork on my terrain is done by Testor Pots! £1 each from DIY shops. Then a bit of PVA and scatter! Give it some time and Dust will build up! 

Excellent work, as always. Love it!   

Thank you again Milord! I wanna see more of your own stuff soon!

I am awaiting another inspiration for myself.

Where did you get the grill?  I think I could make one but the bolts would be tricky.

It is from one of the Zvezda Castle plastic kits. They are 1/72nd scale and quite useful for 28mm.
Here is a google image search of some of the range.

I used the same range to get my pallisade wooden wall from their Roman fort.

The grill is a Portcullis I wasn't using from a gate section. They used to sell all their sections in seperate packages as well as the complete Castles and Forts.
I would think they are still available maybe Ebay?

Hi All!

In light of a further Jaffa graveyard expansion. More graves added cos I was bored!

I recently decided that my number of Undead/Zombies and the like could do with a cheap boost!
I purchased a box of Mantic Ghouls. 20 Figs in all. They come in sprues of 2 Upper body, 2 Lower abdomen and legs variants. 3 Different heads (I only used the 2 bald variants!) and some extra hands holding odd weapons!

I was quite surprised at the range of models I could produce from them, just by varied torso twists as I glued them together and by moving the head tilts.

Not the best paintjobs in the world but they are scruffy Ghouls afterall and I can always go back at my leisure and touch up a bit!



A new grave as well.

Semi Surrounded by Ghouls

[d phipps]

Some of my favorite ghouls. Wish I had another box of them.

  Yes! They are fairly good value. But I got mine at a further reduced price. Only £10 for the box of 20.
I have noticed a lot of the range on stalls at wargame shows here in the UK reduced in the past. I shall be keeping an eye open for other useful ones.

I like this set as you can use them fairly generically in any setting.

 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

£10 is a good price, they seem to be going on eBay at around £15 a box. They look really good.
