Terrain Project - Sink Holes - Part 4

I managed to get a little more done on this project over the weekend.

I got the 4 boards i have cut painted brown.

This takes a couple of coats but it does go pretty quickly.

Next I dry brushed tan on all the hill walls to give them some depth and definition. 

This process goes fairly quickly, but it does take a while since I'm doing 4 boards at once.

Last on the list is to flock.  I use watered down wood glue.  I spread the glue on an area and then sprinkle a little bit of yellow grass fine turf, I then cover the rest of the area with green grass fine turf.  I knock off the excess and do the next area.

I finished 2 boards this weekend.

Here is a closer picture of the finished product..

I was going to cut the foam for the final 2 boards, but my hot knife is having some issues.  I'm going to have to get a replacement before I can cut the final 2 boards.  I hope that doesn't delay the project too much.  I've still got 2 boards ready for flock so I have stuff to work on while I wait for the new hot knife.

Tale of an Epic Gamer - March Goal Achieved (a little late)

I was progressing nicely toward my goal for the month.  But then something unexpected happened, I was distracted by another project.  Okay, that isn't all that uncommon or unexpected.

If you read my blog you have seen the sink hole terrain I've been working on.  This has eaten up a bit of time that I would have spent on Epic 40k models.

Anyway, I got my goal finished a bit late, but it is still finished.

Here is a brood of Termagaunts; 10 stands.

Next up is two broods of Hormogaunts with 5 stands each.

And then I've got some Genestealers.  I finished three broods with 5 stands each.

For command, I've got a brood of 5 Tyranid Warriors.

My next command group is a brood of Hive Tyrants.

Here you can see the whole force in all its glory.  Bitey.  Clawy.  Scary.

For April, my plan is to finish the sink hole terrain that I have been working on.  I'm going to take a small break from the Epic models.  In just over 3 months I've gotten 5,000 points (using NetEpic Gold lists) so I feel like I'm making good progress toward my overall goal.

Imperial Guard will be next on the paint table.  I'm not sure if I'm going to start with lots of tanks or lots of infantry or some mix.  It will probably be a mix, but I might feel bold and shoot for 1,200 points of infantry.  In case you don't know, that is 60 stands of Tactical infantry, 4 Tactical CHQ stands, 2 Commisar stands, and 4 Rhinos.  That is a lot of infantry.  Wish me luck.
