[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Bretonnian Chevaliers Errants¶

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.


[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
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.


[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
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.


[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
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.


[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Bretonnian Chevaliers Errants¶

The unit leader is done as well. I am not really happy with how all the fleurs turned out, but what you see here is the umpteenth try...


[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Mythical Agyptian Priests¶

The priest are done.


[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
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.

 

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...

 

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.

 

The priest got a piece of brass rod glued into his hand to mount the icon on.


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

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


[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
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.


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

While shopping for some supplies with Green Stuff World, I discovered their Egyptian Ruins set and added it to my purchase. I based the pieces on the same floor tiles as the other terrain, blended them in with filler, and will now add sand.
