Mythical Agyptian 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.

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 :-)

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.

Mythical Agyptian Scatter 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.

Mythical Agyptian Bases¶
I started to work on all the bases. They were painted in ochre and drybrushed in a bone white.
Next, some grass tufts will be added.

Mythical Agyptian Priests¶
For the icon I choose a symbol of Nekhbet from the internet and printed it. Then I tried to recreate that in a 3d version. I wanted to have the forward wing raised above the body, the rear wing lowered below the body, etc.
The first attempt was to carve it from foam. But this failed miserably. It would perhaps worked better with a hot wire cutter than a knife, but the edges especially were very flimsy and I did not trust them to last.
Â
The second attempt was to carve it from grey stuff. While the first layer went okayish, the second clearly showed that I have no sculpting skills whatsoever...
Â
So in the end I glued several icons on another layer of paper, and cut out the different layers, then gluing them on top of each other.
Â
The priest got a piece of brass rod glued into his hand to mount the icon on.

I sanded the bases and sealed them with watered down PVA.

Mythical Agyptian Terrain¶
The bases have been sanded and then sealed with watered down PVA. As my castings are not really perfect, there were some gaps here and there and a few air bubbles. To cover these, I put some filler into a jar and watered it down to a paste. This I then applied to cover the gaps, and then stippled the surface to try and blend it in to Bruce's blasted sand surface.
