Octarium terrain

 

So a year and a half back from now, my lovable Rochie handed me a set of Octarium terrain just because that's the sort of bastard he is. Fast forward to now with a couple of house moves in the way and all sorts of real life and unfocused brain issues, I finally took the opportuniy to finish a set started a year ago. That's how it happens.

GW's scenic kits have been stellar for a few years and this one is great because it's versatile, fits with plenty other things, looks good and is well designed. Some parts double up with some I had from the mek workshop I had painted but scatter terrain excess is not real, it just doesn't exist.
Now being the huge Fallout fan I am, I stayed in the vibe I set for my Fogou Fort and I fully intend to combine the kits in the future to create the best ash waste/desert settlement with them !


As those massively overexposed photos will show you, I've filed and sanded the ork glyphs off to give this bit a more neutral look which can either fit an ork or human settlement.


I also happened to have a Haemotrope reactor or whatever it's called, it looks like a nice big line of sight blocking bit of engineering non sense so that was perfect.


Oh and just because it's part of a Killteam set, I've painted the gauges that come with it even if it's very unlikelly I ever play the game, it might come in handy as terrain pieces anyway.

So all in all, that's a few bits done that will make my tables a bit more diverse and cool, scatter terain, covers, objectives and all, really pleased with those !



I'm eager to mix all the terrain that I have on a big table but time is scarce so it will have to wait for a game, I'd rather use my time for painting atm.
I hope you all have a nice hobby time

  2. Never has an open-air landfill looked so attractive! Great result of your paintjob, we love how you painted the aged effect of the different metal pieces
