Rough ground terrain for Saga

Three rocks means Irish missile attack

Using another of the Woodland Scenics rock moulds I made three smaller rocks to be used on a single "rocky terrain" piece.  This would be another representational piece over realistic so rather than cover the piece in rocks, I would have just a few to show the effect.  If I covered the whole base with smaller rocks then figures would be unable to safely stand up and no one wants paint chipped figures.  Sad faces there.

The paint job on rocks was the same as what I did on the larger version previously.  The base of the piece was again a piece of whitecoat masonite cut to size with the edges bevelled.  I normally paint the edge of my terrain pieces and figure bases in Vallejo Game Colour Sick Green to hide the transition from the static grass of the terrain board to the figure/terrain.

The base was then covered in PVA glue (50% dilution with water) and then sprinkled with a number of different scatter materials (mid green, olive green, dark green, light brown) and static grass (light green and a mix called "Flowering meadow").  To try and replicate the random nature look I sprinkle the materials one at a time from about 15cm above.  Think much like sprinkling cheese on a pizza.  Some areas get more of one type of material to avoid the constant bland colouring.

Finally grass tufts and flowers were added to give a bit of colour and height variation.  On the rocks themselves some olive green scatter material was added to break them up from being a uniform colour.
