Terrain is everything - Adeptus Titanicus Ruins MDF kit - TO DONE! 🔴

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer and forgive me but I don't appear to have taken any WiP pics for these MDF ruins for Adeptus Titanicus created by Nook and Noggin.

You actually get 12 ruins for around £15 [after postage] which I thought was great value. 4 small buildings, 4 medium - big enough to hide a Warhound, and 4 large which are as tall as a Warlord!

Now I added a few extra bits of detailing here and there. I cut 6mm strips, scored them down the middle and used them to cap all the corners.

This hid all the finger joints that are synonymous with MDF terrain. I also used wooden coffee stirrers to cap the roof edges too.

Bases had a small amount of rubble and you can see I followed my 40k terrain colour scheme of the TT Combat terrain and the Sector Imperialis Administratum.

Rather than leave the interiors plain cream I had a bit of fun painting in strips. These are where internal walls and floors had been and wouldn't have been painted. 

With their destruction I suspect you'd see something like this. It wasn't too hard to do but adds so much.

This medium ruin had some extra detailing around the roof. A 5mm card strip to hide the slot the the roof piece is attached to.

Then a small Aquila from the Space Marine Drop Pod kit. I thought about painting more of the Blessed Verdigris 🗽 but wanted some buildings that had no additional spot colours.

But yeah, the insides are still a huge contrast to the exterior.

This medium building was customised with some 'sprue' pieces from my TT Combat ruin.

I kept all these crenelated finger join pieces as I knew them may come in handy.

It's a bit over-engineered and clunky but it does add a little something to the overall building to make it different.

I won't be able to create another as I have run out of that bit of sprue.

I also added some mounting card floors in some of the tall buildings. Easy to do and adds a lot. However, it does mean you can't store them like Russian dolls - stacking the small corner piece inside the medium, inside the tall. 

It's an inconvenience but worth noting if you wanted to do something similar.

I considered verdigris and additional vertical and horizontal strips but with the laser etched cracks I didn't want to obscure the details already provided. 

Also, with this going on Otty's grey board too many colours were going to look odd. I mean the red terrain was probably already going to look out of place. Although buildings are all different colours on all different surfaces so maybe not...

I must say all the crack details were a tedious task and although it works it's probably the wrong scale. This would be far better on a 40k building whereas this epic scale these cracks are the size of tennis courts!

And another Great Big Wooden Stamp of Approval.

And also The Big Build Great Big Wooden Stamps of Approval for Building and Basing!

Terrain is everything - TT Combat Gothic Ruins MDF kit - ruin base TO DONE!

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I made this base for my TT Combat Gothic ruins way back when, but I never actually shared it. 

The ruins themselves come in two parts, a ground floor piece and this upper floor and I wanted an option so I could have them as two separate pieces.

This was built, primed and based for years before I finally painted the small bits of debris the other week

And for this I get a Great Big Big Build BLESSED VERDIGRIS Stamp of Approval, because it was built in 2021/22 Season.

I primed the bases with my truly awful Simoniz Red Oxide Primer. Loads of shaking and it still won't mix properly. I managed it in the end though, using a toilet roll tube to mask off the model itself and just spray the base. Then I went on with my standard Red Planet Base process. 

Here's my Great Big Big Build Base BLESSED VERDIGRIS Stamp of Approval, although I didn;t take any pictures at the time.

This sat for so long with these half dozen bits of debris just waiting to be finished.

And it's not like I hadn't done Blessed Verdigris countless times, I just hadn't remembered ti do these bits too.

Not that I'm ever likely to use it but you never know.

I mean it's the bread and butter of Red Planet BASE! 🔴

Nothing fancy, so no excuse why it took so long.

But it's done!

Anyway as I finished it this season - a Bloody Great Big Bloody Stamp of Bloody Approval!

Terrain is everything - Thermic Plasma Conduits - White pics

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Thermic Plasma Conduits. I'm not going to say much on these as I've already missed the boat on when they should have been published.

I need to do a 'Where's my head @' post but as committed to the blog as I would love to be I'm just struggling to fit it in.

So, just enjoy the pics without my prattling.
