Basic Terrain for Hell

[varagon]

Here's a couple of images of our basic terrain we're using right now for Hell Dorado:
Ruins:


Worm Piles:


Alter of some sort (my buddy painted this one- not for sure what the racing stripe is down the middle):


All new terrain:

Good start. I have been going through all my old minis and taking out pieces for my HD board. I am just waiting for the book before I start to design and build it.

The first ruins look very good and your table is getting full

Oh, you don't want me to show the full picture.  Our gaming studio is in my garage, and I am not the neatest person.  Games, games, and more games. Plus garage stuff. lol

Good looking Varagon. 

I just got into Hell Dorado too.  Going to be producing some terrain for the game soon I think.

Thanks!  We've been using these pieces for a while now, and not getting old- We just use them as proxies for different climates and terrain types instead.

The smaller 3x3 board just doesn't justify building a lot of terrain like 4x4' or 4x6' sized gaming tables require.

Loving this game!

Have you considered building piece terrain instead of one of your behemoths?  Don't get me wrong, I love a good fully realized table now and then (See here) but having good piece terrain is a great option when you don't want to commit to a full table.

Hell Dorado seems to beg for tall stone formations and the like.  Something to quickly create some deep canyons.

I've got a tip to do worms : rice (long grain, cheap). Results are really good.
Anyway your terrains look great.

What colors did you use for the table? It has a good "Necropolis" look without being one single drab color. I'm starting my own Necropolis board and want to avoid the monotone look a real necropolis would likely have. Did you use an airbrush for the "rusty" effects.

[varagon]

All my "terrain" paints are Apple Barrel craft paints from Wal-Mart.  Nothing special.

The whites/blacks/grays come from mixing white with black and adding in nothing else.

The rust comes from a brown color...I'd have to go out in the garage to look at names. 

I have an airbrush, and used extremely thin brown on the board as "practice," as I've never painted a model with it, nor used it more than three times.

So, yes, the brown on the board itself was airbrushed, but I could have done the same with a brush, I believe.
