Grey Desert

I made the first step to receive guests at home after I got my Tablescapes Kickstarter after a little more than a year.

I went for the rolling fields, but my intention is to paint them in Desert Yellow as the Blood Angels are from a radiation desert after all.

With the little creek available on the tiles I can evidently do three closed forms. My plan is to apply timidly water effects on it to make it looks like it's close to drying out.

Next thing I need is a surface to rest the tiles on as the dinner table proves too small. Also I need terrain, other than a GW wood and a Fortress of Redemption (still sealed in its original package) I don't have anything, so this would provide very loopsided battles. ^^

Ruined Oasis

Lately I have been helping nu55kill, Team Captain of the Swiss 40K ETC Team, add greenery to his 40K ruins at our local game club, the League of Gentlemen (LoG). Years ago he started by gluing his 40K ruins to desert style base plates, but recently he got plastic plants for a mere couple Euros in Konstanz (Germany), so we've been busy adding that. The finished thing looks to me like ruins in a oasis and the thick greenery triggered the urge in me to start a Catachan army, but obviously Tallarn Desert Raiders would work as well.

Once we were done gluing everything together, we took the opportunity to showcase a few minis in our new/improved terrain.

Soft dragon, warm dragon, little ball of fire...

Our league's mascot is definitely the boss on the block...

...and even a lowly Terminator with a Multimelta won't change that.
