Warcry: Gnarlwood Terrain #5

I broke out the trusty airbrush again. To try and quickly tackle the parts of the terrain I could not target with the rattlecans by themselves. In other words the bamboo platforms and the old bones.

The images below are taken on a bright sunny day, so the bone greys have all turned an almost uniform colour. It isn’t really like this in person. You can see in the first pic, I have left the first experimental tree as is. Once everything is painted I might go back and bring the bone back to match the rest of the set. The tree and bamboo isn’t too dissimilar – all trees are different right?

Warcry: Gnarlwood Terrain #4

Hasn’t been a lot of activity on the blog this year. Some hobby has been occurring (very slowly) but I haven’t had the motivation to post about it… till now!

You may remember at the beginning of the year I had a spurt of Warcry terrain building. Assembling the terrain that came in the Warcry: Heart of Ghur boxed game. I even started painting it, but admittedly I screwed up slightly* and that knocked the motivation out of me to complete it in a timely fashion.

A keen eyed reader may have noticed that the title of this post has subtly changed from those previous posts. That is because I also bought the follow on boxes to Heart of Ghur; Sundered Fate, Bloodhunt, and Nightmare Quest. Yes, I fully admit the GW FOMO plan worked a treat on me there. The good intension was to build and paint a box before getting the next box. That failed way back at the start of the year, and since May/June I’ve had a forest of sprues sat in boxes. Well, until recently that is…

Enter the forest

Warcry: Heart of Ghur, Terrain #3

Just a quick post, I squeezed in a quick play time with the airbrush to see what I could do with my over primed HoG terrain. I just messed adding various colours to see what they would come out like. Here’s the result.

Still a way to go obviously, also need to practice with my airbrush aiming skills 😉 However I did feel like I made some progress experimenting on this piece. I’m not sold on my tree colour yet. Need to keep thinking on that.

Warcry: Heart of Ghur, Terrain #2

Following on from the previous Warcry post where I built the Heart of Ghur terrain here’s the first post about painting the terrain. I expect painting the terrain is going to take up way more than one blog article. I have previously painted up the original Warcry starter set terrain and the Ravaged Lands Corpsewrack Mausoleum, both as commissions believe it or not, so I was striving for a bit of speed to get the job done. Both used multiple spray cans to get the base layers down to build up the colour scheme from. In an attempt to speed up the painting process I decided to use different colour rattlecan spray primers for the base layers of my Heart of Ghur terrain. Given that the Heart of Ghur (I’m getting sick of typing that, so from now on it is HoG) terrrain is natural in nature rather than ‘man made’ buildings i thought that more colours might be a good idea.

Warcry: Heart of Ghur – The Terrain

One of 2022’s impulse buys was the Warcry second edition starter box Warcy: Heart of Ghur. Way back in 2019 I bought the first edition starter, and loved playing it, even winning a local event with my Splintered Fang warband at the, now sadly closed, LGS. I can’t explain what it was but I ended buying Heart of Ghur, and then it sat in a box, unopened – still sealed in fact – until last week. My recent review of 2022 post got me thinking about unstarted/unfinshed projects. I just felt the need to start a clean slate, do something different and new.

So, I built this…
