Big forest

After dealing with some Warhammer Fantasy puppies and repainting Bolt Action winter G.I. squad decision was made to improve game table a bit. Some time ago I've managed to assemble small piece of forest, but after using it for over 2 years I've realised I want something bigger. For 2 reasons:

1. It provides more tactical options during the game.

2. Decently made terrain feartures look great on battlefield and on photos, which is double important if you are planning posting battle report. Especially when it comes to Bolt Action.

This piece was made more less same way as the previous one. I wanted it to be useful for gaming purposes so you can remove trees to move even large units or models inside (tanks,  warbeasts or whatever). It's pretty large terrain feature (~24" x ~18") so decision was made to cut it with a path, so units can cross it this way without penalty. Otherwise this thing would be just a line blocker most of the time probably.

I wasnt's sure about final result when I started working on these Heki trees (they still are pretty fragile despie all the varnish I sprayed over it) but I really like the final result. This is the first wood / forest piece I've ever had which shows the scale of models staggering around ^^ 

There's an empty space in the middle so I'm going to add another tree to make it look pretty thick from above of from a distance. I should have enough materials for another 6 ot 7 "trees strong" piece of wood so sooner or later my game table shoud get even more dense.

So here're the piccies:

Below - column of US vehicles crossing cutting the forest:

Most of trees are removable so any model can easily get inside:

Even such big as Mercurian Maculator!!! 

Cat is banned from entering the forest but it's ok for showing the scale.:

And some pics from the gaming bunker. Looking at this now I am sure I want another one! ^^

If anyone's interested those sweet buildings come from Black Grom Studio. And since we're here - big thanks to Andrzej from Terrains4Gamers for ideas and actually encouraging me to give this project a shot. You can surely call youself godfather of this piece! 😁

Cannot wait to test this piece in combat!

Great Grey (Capitol)

While waiting for Warzone Eternal project to be launched I decided to bring another oldie from pile ov shame darkness to light: Capitol's Great Grey skimmer. Back days, when the first edition was still alive I've never seen in action but I accidentally got the model a month or so ago. I am no sculptor, so try not to judge others' greenstuff jobs (like: don't like it? No problem, but instead of b!tching about it grow some balls and sculpt better 🙄) but this one with no doubt is one of the most screwed up models in the original Warzone line. Actually the vehicle is acceptable but it's operator is just abomination. 

It's almost as horrid as infamous Imperial Barracuda... 🤢

But I have lots of heart for such pieces therefore I think every model deserves nice paintwork - no matter the sculpt. At first there was an idea to replace the head with closed helmet but all in all decision was made to leave it in original shape. No matter someone likes it or not.

As for the color choice the combo is result of mini poll I put on FB a while back. It's clearly based on "Flanker" color scheme. Pretty striking, especially over Mars-style base.

Hope you like it. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you: the war dolphin! 🐬😁

I do not like the way exhausts turned out - they were much brighter but in the end I decided to hit it with yellow filter and that's the result:

But I definitely like the scale shot. The Capitol skimmer below is either evading patrol of undead legionnaires or about to gun them down with on-board weapon:
