Up on the hilltops: terrain building part THREE

Once the big board was painted, I could get down to the business of painting the hills and rock outcroppings.

It was nothing terribly fancy.  I had some black, some white, and some green/yellow mixes ready.



I allowed some of the green to get into my grey mixture, since rocks have a tendency to be mossy!  I  didn't use any pure black, even on my first layers.  I mixed black with the dark green, or put a little white into my mix.  When painting the initial layers on the rocky outcroppings, I watered down the mix to allow better coverage.



The tops of the hills got the same treatment as the board.  I mixed plenty of yellows and tans with my green mix.



I balanced all the pieces to make sure they would not dry and stick to the newspapers, which would have been annoying.  I didn't wait for the darkest mixes to dry.  Instead, I started to do my lighter layers...



So, the board and the hills are now ready for flock!  That will happen early next week, so look for pictures of that soon!!



I love hills and rocks that can be mixed and matched!  We have some of these pieces at our own gaming table at home, and it is really cool to set a watchtower on top of one of the freestanding hills, combining the terrain pieces.  There is something about a nice table that really enhances the gaming experience.  If you are going to invest all those hours into playing the game, why not have a nice setup?

I hope these have been helpful!!
