[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Mythical Agyptian Terrain Mat¶

This is how the mat looked after a second layer of acrylic. It took me about 1.5 tubes.

I then applied thinned PVA glue (1:1) and sprinkled on two grains of sand. Here is the first learning: When applying white PVA onto a white surface, tint it with something. I went with the reflection of light, and thought I got everything coated - when I tapped off the excess sand, there were some quite visible spare patches. I touched them up, but they are visible now as they are a bit higher than the rest...

After sealing the sand in with watered down PVA (1:6 + washing-up liquid) and letting this coat dry thoroughly, I stippled on a first coat of paint.

Mythical Agyptian Scatter Terrain¶

I gloss varnished the models, then applied oil washes.

After a layer of matt varnish, I added the same bushes and flock I put on the miniature's bases as well.

Done.

[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Mythical Agyptian Terrain Mat¶

With the miniatures done and some terrain under way, I need a gaming table. What I wanted to do for quite some time is a flexible gaming mat.

I watched plenty of YouTube videaos on the topic, but the recently published video by the Terrain Tutor was the tip on the dare to give it a try.

Here are the components:

As fabric, I use painter fleece, the one I choose has a bottom of plastic sheeting, which should help keeping the acrylic and the colour on the fleece.

I pinned the fleece to the board with pins.

Then added one thin layer of acrylic.

Mythical Agyptian Bases¶

The bases are all painted and grass tufts added.

The tufts are from Noch (#07004), and are fine, but have a very visible glue layer on the bottom. On the one hand this is sometimes quite visible, on the other some of the tufts also did not fit flush to the base, due to the sand structure.

To cover the glue and the gaps, I used two flocks from Woodland Scenics.

This is the end result. The tufts are blended into the base, the glue covered.

Here is the whole force finished and assembled.

And in their storage box.

Project done :-)

The unit based on the historical models is done, the last part was to add static grass to the bases.

On to the next 12 knights based on Black Tree Design's fantasy models.

Mythical Agyptian Terrain¶

I basecoated the sand in ochre brown, the structures in sand.

The base was then drybrushed in ochre.

This was followed by a drybrush of white over everything.

I then painted the skulls in white, the beetles in black with dark grey highlights, and the snakes and scorpions using the same colours as for the giant scorpion.
