This month I've built and painted several terrain pieces I had on my mind for a while. Let's take a look!



Barricades and Scrap

Figures from my resin Grob range produced by Ramshackle Games each come with a little terrain feature attached. This extra volume of resin is there to ensure the figure is cast perfectly. Curtis of Ramshackle came up with the idea for it to be shaped as something useful instead of being a dead chunk of resin that gets immediately thrown in the bin. You can find this feature on all of their recent releases. I gathered up a bunch of these, consisting of destroyed Grobniks and Raider scrap, and turned them into barricades for the Evacuation scenario of the Nekroplanet Grob game, as well as general scatter. Tidied up some areas and added a few cables; there was not much extra tinkering necessary to make these work! They were painted and based to match the red sandy surface of Grob.



Rocky Outcrops

I have a lot of ruins and space debris in my terrain collection, but I'm sorely missing natural terrain features! So I started with a few rocky outcrops. They're made of cork, tree bark, rocks, air dry clay, spackle, and sand. Painted with acrylics and pigments. I want to expand this with a few smaller ones in the future. But my next big addition to Nekroplanet's natural scenery is strange vegetation. It's a project I'm rather excited about, and I hope I'll have time to dive into it by the end of the year.



Giant Skulls

Moving on to the green fields of our oldschool fantasy project. I picked up two bags of Halloween plastic skulls this time last year, but hadn’t done anything with them until now. The bases are styrene, and I blended the skulls into them with air dry clay. Added small rocks here and there. Textured the bases with sand and flock, and painted it all with acrylics. Simple and cheap project that looks pretty rad on the table.



Forest of Bone

I also made this forest. The bone trees are resin terrain from Wilhelminiatures. I had them for years, and they were originally painted to go with my Necron Kill Team. I repainted them now and made a base for them out of cardboard so it's a playable woodland terrain piece for regiment battle games. 



As a freelancer I'm constantly chasing commissions, and finding time and energy for blogging is getting increasingly more difficult. So I want to thank all of Gardens of Hecate’s patrons! Your support is sincerely appreciated.

Is allways nice to see the Nekroplanet project growing. The sprue terrain is a great idea, I’ve seen it on metal models to decorate the bases but this is going to be more useful.

The Nekroplanet Grob game, is it some kind of homebrew rules set? Would love to read more about it. Oh, lovely work as usual. Very inspirational! grin

Yes, it’s a game Ivan and I designed. smile You can download the public playtest rules here in the Grob discord: https://discord.gg/jv3DtpmA
