Ruins for Warcry

Well I finally finished painting the terrain from the big Warcry box.  I started this last summer and had to wait for the Scottish weather to be both dry and windless so that I could finish spraying it.  The Warcry box set is no long available but GW brough these as part of their Azurite Ruins sets.

Once the weather improved (all it took was a global pandemic) these were really quick to knock out.  I wanted to make the ruins look unsual, they are located in the chaos wastes afterall.  So I primed them with a brick red (Halfords standard red primer) then I dusted them teal (Exotic Sea from Plastikote).  To dust with a rattle can hold the can at a 45 degree angle from the miniature, and make sure it is quite far away, then give it little blasts of paint.  The paint should fall on the raised areas like dust.  Just build it up until it's the colour and coverage you want.  Once all that was dry I painted all the metal grates up in a brass.  I went in quite rough with this leaving the teal in the recesses to look like verdigris, obviously if you arent doing brass over teal then this isn't going to work.  I then painted the wood a burnt umber I got from The Works, which I drybrushed with an earthy brown.  Then to tie the whole lot together I drybrushed everything with an ivory.  This give a dusty look that I think makes everything gel together.  For a little added flair I put water effects in the two wells.

I really like these ruins, and there's not a whole lot that would tie them to Age of Sigmar.  I could see me using them for a whole bunch of fantasy games, hell they'd even work for 40K.  I might pick up some more of the Azurite ruins to add to these.
