25/28mm Armorcast - Terraform - Quarried Stone Walls

Yes, yet another entry of stone walls - You know you like it! 

The literary minded, or one bent like an amateur psychoanalyst, will conclude these walls stand in for my inability to paint actual soldiers - they are both a literal and figurative barrier to accomplishing something that could enable the occurrence of an actual game. It'd be a stretch, but I can see how you could get there.


I tell this story all the time. One Historicon many years ago, one of the clerks at this Armorcast booth, plucked one of their buildings out of my hand and threw it to the floor. He beamed as he picked it up to show me they were virtually indestructible. Sold! And I remain attached to those turn of the century prices. These are really great products that are now, I believe, OOP. (please be wrong)

Tan primed, then wet-brushed with Vallejo Stone. Then I picked out odd colored stones for variety.

Over this I added a new wash with no green, and very little black - just shades of brown inks. Still too dark though for my tastes. I wish I had another set that read tan or sandstone instead of this gray stone they become.

Couple progressively light stages of dry-brushing and la! Finished walls.
