Painting Warcry terrain

Ana Polanšćak, 30th April 2020

A couple of weeks ago, Ana showed us how to convert plastic Warcry terrain. This week she paints them in our hobby related articles series. If you wish to participate with your own articles, let us know here ums.agram@gmail.com

Before painting, I gave the terrain a coat of primer. I used black, grey and white sprays to achieve pre-shading in a quick and simple manner. Since these kits are covered in sculpted detail and texture, this method was highly effective.

There are three types of surfaces here: masonry, wood and metal. I deliberately painted them in that order. The paints I used were all water-based acrylics.

Stone surfaces are the largest and lightest in colour, so I painted them first. Step one was a watered- down dark green, which I got by mixing ochre and black. This was applied all over the stone walls. I use cheaper craft acrylics for this kind of work.

Step two was a light grey highlight applied with sponge. With this technique, paint sticks to extruded parts and highlights details. It also leaves an uneven, blotchy texture, which fits an old stone surface. This is why I prefer it to drybrushing in this case.

Once the highlight was dry, I re-applied the dark green wash from step one. However, this time I focused only on the lower half of the wall. These two steps (wash and sponge highlight) can be repeated a number of times, until the desired contrast is achieved. If your green wash is very transparent, it will take several coats for it to become visible enough. The highlights can go from light grey to white, but it's not good to go overboard.

When I was happy with my shades and highlights, I applied Typhus Corrosion (Citadel Technical) on the horizontal surfaces of the ruins. I added water to the paint and applied it with brush as well as sponge, to get uneven stains on the stone. If you find places on the vertical surfaces of the walls where you find you want to add starker contrast, you can apply a bit of this mix there as well.

The wooden beams and floors were next in line. The wooden areas may already be slightly stained from the process of painting stone, but that is perfectly fine in this case and there is no need to touch them up before the next step. I made a glaze by watering down Umber and covered all wooden surfaces - making sure I didn't mess up the previously painted stone parts. I find flat brushes really convenient for this task. When that was dry, I applied a watered-down black. I didn't go over the entire wood surface, but rather stained random spots on the planks. Then I did the same wit watered-down white. Finally, I took watered-down Typhus Corrosion and painted evenly over all wood surfaces. This final glaze ties it all together and provides a warmer tint.

Wood and stone then got splattered with black and white drops of paint, using a large stiff brush. This gives the terrain extra texture and interest. I don't want this effect on the metal surfaces, and that's why I did it before getting started with metal.

There are lots of iron bars in the Warcry terrain kit. I started by carefully painting all of them with matt black, without getting black paint on the already finished surfaces around them. This can take a while when you're painting several kits at once, so it's important to be patient and have a larger brush with a good tip – it will hold enough paint but still provide good control.

The bars were weathered using Secret Weapon Weathering Acrylics Red Rust and Orange Rust. These were applied as washes and unevenly.

There are several parts I wanted in bronze, such as the bell. I used a bronze paint for the basecoat. This got a coat of Typhus Corrosion and then Nihilakh Oxyde (also Citadel Technical) to simulate verdigris.

The scenery was then sprayed with matt varnish.

Since I had several fountains, I played with water effects. Where I needed a pool od water I poured Vallejo Still Water. It was done in several thin layers, as this prevents long drying time and possible clouding. Fountains attached to walls got water streams made of shrink wrap heated over a candle. This was cut to length and attached with superglue before I poured Still Water. When all was dry, I used Greenstuff World Splash Gel to create waves and splashes.

	In early October I had the opportunity to visit my neighbors from the Amuletd20 association. This time it wasn't an artsy Turnip28 event, but a huge tournament in AOS and Conquest games.

	  

	Besides the main event, there were tables playing Kings of War, as well as Warhammer: The Old World, where I came with my Chaos Dwarfs.

	  

	Unfortunately, I think TOW was the least represented with four players, but this little community was wonderful! Players helped each other with the rules and the games were very friendly. In addition to my choirs, there was also an army of High Elves at the event, as well as two armies of Brettons.

	  

	  

	  

	I spent my event fighting the noble knights of Brettonia, and I believe that my dwarves were helped by the atypical mobility obtained from the monsters (Wyverna, Lammasu and Bale Taurus) accompanied by the antithesis of HŽ (Iron Daemon) and a spell that increased the infantry's mobility.

	  

	The Kings of War tables were much more dynamic, with more players, more games, and the waxes themselves were far more diverse. I'm glad that the tables were close so I had the opportunity to hang out with the hosts Luka and Vane.. It was definitely a surprise when our Mario visited us and hung out with us.

	  

	I managed to find enough time to walk around the rest of the event - and it was impressive to see so many players in one place. Amuletd20 really did a phenomenal job for their first event.

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	After the event, we went to the association's premises to socialize a little more. And, if you're curious about what it was like there, come to the next Amulet event yourself, you certainly won't regret it.

	  

	P.S. Many thanks to Luka, Vana and Mita for the invitation and hospitality!

	Početkom listopada imao sam priliku posjetiti susjede iz udruge Amuletd20. Ovog puta nije bio artsy Turnip28 event, nego ogroman turnir u AOS i Conquest igrama.

	  

	Osim main eventa, bilo je stolova na kojima se igralo i Kings of War, kao i Warhammer: The Old World gdje sam došao sa svojim Chaos Dwarfovima.

	  

	Nažalost, mislim da je TOW bio najslabije zastupljen s četiri igrača, ali je ovaj mali community bio divan! Igrači su si međusobno pomagali s pravilima i partije su bile jako Friendly, Uz moje chorfove, na eventu je bila i jedna vojska High Elfova, kao i dvije vojske Brettonaca.

	  

	  

	  

	Svoj event proveo sam boreći se plemenitim vitezovima Brettonie, a vjerujem da je mojim patuljcima pomogla netipična mobilnost dobivena čudovištima (Wyverna, Lammasu i Bale Taurus) u pratnji antiteze HŽ-a (Iron Daemon) i čarolije koja je pješadiji povećavala mobilnost.

	  

	Na Kings of War stolovima bilo je znatno dinamičnije, više igrača, više partija, a i same vosjke su bile daleko raznolikije. Drago mi je da su stolovi bili blizu pa sam imao priliku družiti se s domaćinima Lukom i Vaneom.. Definitivno iznenađenje je bilo kad nas je naš Mario posjetio i podružio se s nama.

	  

	Uspio sam uhvatiti dovoljno vremena da prošećem i ostatkom eventa - i bilo je impresivno vidjeti toliko igrača na istom mjestu. Amuletd20 je zaista odradio fenomenalan posao za prvi event koji organiziraju.

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	  

	Nakon eventa, otišli smo do prostora udruge podružiti se još malo. A, ako vas zanima kako je tamo bilo, dođite i sami na idući Amuletov event, sigurno nećete požaliti.

	  

	P.S. Veliko hvala Luki, Vani i Miti na pozivu i gostoprimstvu!

Gaslands - Tutorial II

	In this article I will briefly describe how I painted another set of three cars for Gaslands. Same as last time, I started with a black undercoat.

	

	As I decided to keep the colour of the vehicles matt black, I left it at that and proceeded to paint the windshields. Using much the same method I used for the yellow crew, I applied the chosen paint scheme. Unlike blue windshields with the yellow crew, here I decided to use the yellow/red combo.

	

	I then added chrome.

	

	In the end, I added metallic details such as guns etc.

	

	It was time to add the decals. I first painted all the surfaces with gloss varnish. Then I added the decals and after they set properly, I covered everything with Ultra Matt Varnish..

	

	And thus ended the painting process.

	

	GALLERY OF THE TWO FINISHED CREWS

	U ovom ću  članku opisati kako sam obojao drugi set od tri autića za Gaslands demo partije. Kao i prošli puta, krenuo sam s crnim undercoatom. 

	

	S obzirom da sam odlučio da ovaj crew bude mat crn, farbanje karoserija sam tu prekinuo i počeo sam sa staklima. Slično kao i prošli put, koristio sam sličnu shemu, ali u drugim bojama. Za razliku od plavih refleksija na žutim autima, na crnima sam se odlučio za žuto/crvenu kombinaciju. 

	

	Dodao sam krom.

	

	I na kraju dodao metalne dijelove poput oružja.

	

	Na ovim autima, odlučio sam dodati i naljepnice. Prvo sam na površine s naljepnicama stavio gloss lak. Potom sam postavio naljepnicce i nakon što su se dobro osušile sam te iste površine prekrio mat lakom. 

	

	Time sam završio posao...

	

	GALERIJA ZAVRŠENIH RADOVA!

	In this article I will briefly describe how I painted a set of three cars for Gaslands. I started with a black undercoat and then applied a silver (Leadbelcher) spray as the base color.

	

	Then I used the Rust effect from Dirty Down. Once the effect was dry, I sprayed the cars with a clear matte varnish to protect the layer of rust (which is activated when exposed to moisture). After the spray dried, I applied the Scratches and Heavy Chipping effect from Ammo by Mig Jimenez with a brush. After about fifteen minutes of drying, I sprayed the cars in yellow and let it dry for about 15 minutes. I used a brush to apply water over the cars and used a stiff brush, wooden skewer and cotton swab to remove the excess paint that was activated due to the Scratches and Heavy Chipping effects.

	

	Then came the painting. First I covered all the details that would not be yellow in black. Then I used blue to draw out the reflections on the glass. Added the metal details (engines and weapons). And finally added the chrome effects (using GSW paint). For the very end I left the engine shine effects.

	

	The painting of the cars for Gaslands is now complete.

	U ovom članku ću ukratko opisati kako sam bojao set od tri autića za Gaslands. Krenuo sam sa crnim undercoatom na kojeg sam stavio srebrni (Leadbelcher) sprej kao osnovnu boju.

	

	Potom sam koristio Rust efekt od tvrtke Dirty Down. Kada se posušio efekt, autiće sam posprejao bezbojnim mat lakom da zaštitim sloj hrđe (koja se aktivira u doticaju sa vlagom). Nakon što se sprej osušio, kistom sam nanio Scratches i Heavy Chipping efekt od Ammo by Mig Jimenez. Nakon petnaestak minuta sušenja, autiće sam posprejao u žuto i ostavio da se osuši cca 15 minuta. Kistom sam premazao vodu preko autića i tvrdim kistom, drvenim ražnjićem i štapićem za uši sam uklonio višak boje koji se aktivirao zbog Scratches i Heavy Chipping efekata.

	

	Zatim je uslijedilo bojanje. Prvo sve detalje koji neće biti žuti sam prekrio u crnu boju. Zatim sam izvukao plavom bojom refleksije na staklima. Dodao metalne detalje (motori i oružja). I na kraju dodao krom efekte (koristeći boju tvrtke GSW). Za sami kraj ostavio sam efekte sjaja motora.

	

	TIme je završeno bojanje autića za Gaslands.
