25/28mm Cemetery Potpouri #2

 Smaller update this time. The singles here are all Armorcast and all but the two with just dirt (back right) and the two sarcophagi are from the Old Glory/West Wind Dracula's Cemetery set. I don't know who makes those so if you can help identify them - let me know in the comments please.

I'm not quite halfway done -a table full of graves is the goal- but if you want to see the what's already finished, click here.

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.

Cigar Box - European Fields (no roads) seen underneath.

25mm/28mm Cemetery Potpourri #1

 I know the source of almost half of these - if you identified anything I couldn't, please let me know in the comments.

Everything but the Renedra

Pic A.  All but the three strip at left front are resin of some kind. If anyone recognizes the manufacturer I'll be happy to credit them.

Pic B.   These are all from the same manufacturer except for the verdi gris 18th century general in the back left.

Pic C.   All resin - came in the same set. Manufacturer?

These are Armorcast Terraform - very lazy one-shot application of various Citadel Contrast colors.

Pic D.   The one at left is West Wind - not sure about the other two. These are Flames of War bases

All Armorcast Terraform here. Four of these had a destroyed version to its right.

Pic E.   Can't remember who made these - any help? The center seems very obviously a Bishop from a chess set

Pic F.    Random set of resin headstones - another lazy Basilicanum Gray Contrast - no highlighting.

West Wind with a pair of Citadel flankers - Contrast Basilicanum Gray again but with a dry brush of off-white to finish. (I'm getting better!)

 

Pic G.     Lazy Contrast again - these lead quartet came in a single blister - anyone recognize them? They are very very ugly.

Two from Reaper - the pillar though is resin and comes from one of the unidentified sets above

Armorcast Terraform - their destroyed versions below. Even the grass is destroyed!

Pic H.    Couple oddball ones I can't identify. Is the one on the right from RAFM? Came with a gargoyle?

Pic I.    More rando ones - no clue who made them. The one on the right with the cross is not part of the other three and is metal instead of resin.

 

This entry concludes most of the bigger monument style memorials. Lots more strips of 2-3 headstones, and the mausoleums and crypts to do yet, but may are in progress.

25/28mm Armorcast Terraform Cemetery Walls with Gates

I've had these for ages. At Historicon? one year I was admiring them at the booth and one of their clerks snatched it from me and threw it to the ground. Then he picked it up beaming and said something to the effect that they were indestructible. Indeed.

They came with a bunch of odd gravestones maybe more appropriate for a gothic/sci-fi setting. I don't see that any of it is available from Armorcast however. Like everything else, if you love it, buy it.

 

This is the Cigar Box Battle Mat "Europe" (Plush) underneath. Extruded Gaming Wall Ruins in the background.

That's a West Wind model glued on to, I think, another piece of Terraform pillars. I had a bunch that need statues on top.

Not sure where that statue came from - it's part of a pair with the other badly damaged.
