Terrain for Kings of War project

I have had on my to-do list for a few years already painting my terrain for 40K and Fantasy. I have always prioritized painting the figures rather than the terrain, and I never found the energy for it. Now that I have an airbrush I might do it -eventually.

But for small scale (10mm) I always had the impression painting terrain should be a breeze, nice and easy. And I was right! To motivate myself I decided not only to join a small-scale tournament but also to offer a fully painted table to the organization, so in fact I was forced to paint my terrain!

I base coated all in black. The woods and flat hills had then a layer of brown with the airbrush, after that a few layers of drybrush, apply grass and done! For the houses, I painted all base colours, applied washes, varnish, pigments and varnish again and it was done. I wanted to give the houses a look similar to old stone houses in England or north of France, very humid and with lots of moss, but I think I overdid it! I tried to tune it down a bit but I was not really very successful, in the end I fumbled that and decided to leave it "as is".

The job is not fancy and will not pass any close-up test, but it looks ok on the table. 

Painted in 2024

Infantry Detachment (II)

I am really glad to start the new year with so many miniatures painted in one go!

With this update I have enough Infantry hopefully for battles up to 1,500 or. 2,000 points. Main change compared to last time is that I have used an airbrush for the green basecoat and honestly after that painting these little guys felt like a breeze. It was perhaps 2 hours of work in total. I can't wait to do the same for the tanks and Dreadnoughts so I can have enough time later on for the Titans and Knights! Maybe if I airbrush metal on the Knights and Titans it will be faster... need to think about it.

Of this second box I have painted only one Legion Command because I doubt I will use more than three and with that extra base I have completed a Tactical Squad that was missing one base from the first box. I have to say, GW did a very weird thing with this box. I am sure the box was designed way before the army list and therefore you have a box that is basically unusable on its own as you need two at least :D

In any case, here you can see the first minis of 2024 and a group picture of what I have painted so far for Legions Imperialis!
