I recently placed an order for some Judge Dredd terrain items from Dave Stone's Wargames Terrain Workshop, you can find the website here and I highly recommend you have a little peruse through his stuff! Anyway I bought the bits that I wanted and they will feature soon enough but as I was flicking through the online catalogue I came across the "Graveyard Section" - ooh I thought I'll see what's what in here and I came across these...
Kerching!!!! I had, at the time literally no plan for these in anyway but I knew straight away that I wanted them, a use would eventually show itself. So I placed the order and a few days later I received the whole lot. Now the JD stuff will show up on here when my paintbrush re-engages with the "Big Meg" and her denizens as I've still got tons of stuff to paint up that Bryan "Vampifan" Scott has sent me in his boundless generosity but when I started thinking about my 7TV2e project and the dungeon/sewer terrain i'm building I started picturing underground tombs and boom the pieces were in play.
Sadly due to transport issues the resin had in places broken, some to the point where I couldn't put the pieces back together but these are can be portrayed as just chips in the stone so I wasn't too distressed (I will add this wasn't Dave skimping on packaging which was very good, I genuinely believe the delivery guy kicked it into my garden!!). Anyway I simply glued the Gargoyles onto 30mm mdf rounds, then simply sprayed all of the pieces with grey primer and then painted them with citadel paints, sorry Joe "Zabadak" but I had to go with the darker grey rather than the nice browns I used for my Bushido Temple, just because I wanted that darker, sinister feel!
It's hard to see from the pics but the gargoyles got some glowing red eyes just to add some animation to the pieces.
I added some home made moss using flock, green paint and PVA, just to give that feeling of age. My Queen of the Night - Anabella von Kriekveld stalks through the graveyard looking for recruits.....
