Gardening...of a different sort

I spent the afternoon tending to trees.

Very small trees.

For those who are interested...it's the pack of tree from GW. Each is mounted on a piece of plastic cut from an ice cream tub lid, and the larger area (to represent the extent of the wooded area inthe game) is a double-thickness piece of ice cream tub lid.

To paint...base coats of Goblin Green for the fronds and Snakebite Leather for the trunks. Then a wash of 1:2:6 Dark Angle Green:Scorched Brown:Water over the greenery and 1:2 Scorched Brown:water for the trunks.

Finally, a coat of Goblin Green on all the plastic bases, and a coast of flock (remembering not to sneeze over it, this time!)

Easy. Total cost, £3. Time, 3 hours. Result, 2 woods!


During a battle, woods give cover to troops within the area of the base, and are harder to see.
Below, a Vindicare Assassin makes use of the cover of the trees to pick his next target.
