GF9 - Small Autumn Wood

 Last November Tistaminis sponsored our Saga Tournament (SAGA Montreal Grand Melee).  Using the discount they offered the participants I purchased some Gale Force Nine products. Amount them were some much needed terrain. I assembled the Small Autumn Wood today to see how they looked.  Nine trees of various heights and colours to represent the autumn season.

Who is advancing through the woods? More about them tomorrow.

Sacred Martian Grove: Blood Crystals

Battlefield in a Box: Blood Crystals (BB541)

Last weekend I received a belated birthday present from my cousin. This is certainly not an item that I would normally purchase for myself but would be happy to find them in a deleted item bin or at a deep discount sale. I immediately thought that these would make a perfect Martian terrain piece for Space 1889 as a Sacred Grove.

In this photo I have included my standard 25mm Griping Beast Roman figure for scale and a Space Wolf  in terminator armour. I will pick up some autumn foliage to provide reds and yellows Martian plant life.

The bases were covered with Liquitex Resin Sand, that included a paint mix of  roughly 1 part red to 4 parts Raw Sienna. I then lightly sprinkled on some brown/red  ballast, which I think was a Woodland Scenics product. After drying overnight I painted over the soil with a watered down GW dark flesh.
