Last week I bought the GF9 Extra Large Rocky hill. Like all the Battlefield in a Box series pieces, you can use it right out of the box, or you can put a little bit of extra work in and get some great results. This is how I did mine:
First a light grey dry brush
followed by a very light white highlight
A few touchups on the stones and the surrounding dirt and then the addition of flock, but not too much (its is a rocky hill after all!)
Then to add more colour I then went with some autumn coloured clump foliage. At first I wasn't convinced but when going with something different I think its a case of being bold. In the end, with some light and dark green added in to break it up, it came out rather well.
And it was in use only a few days after purchase for some "King of the Hill" type scenarios in Dragon Rampant.

Good call on the clump foliage. I like the GF9 stuff, it’s surprisingly cheap and indestructible.
ReplyDeleteThe yellows and oranges certainly bring it ore to life I think
DeleteI've bought quite a bit of GF9 stuff this year and and a big fan - rivers, ponds, this hill. All good. However, a friend had a different experience with the roads which ended up cracking and breaking at the ends
Nicely done Paul. :)
ReplyDeleteI too am a fan of the Battlefield in a Box stuff. :)
Cheers!
