A

DI"AIDATED SHED

The )ilapidated Shed proect was a little "ore a"bitious than the Ruined %olu"ns! since the shed had to beconstructed (ro" scratch. The idea was to create a buildin! a pile o( (irewood! and a lenth o( (ence! all o(which would appear nelected and old. Snow would also be an i"portant part o( this piece.

To start the shed! we cut another circular base out o( the Masonite. This one was "uch larer than the oneused (or the colu"ns! as a lenth o( (ence was to e+tend (ro" both sides o( the shed. $nce aain! we sandedthe edes down to a H5O anle.

A(ter we sanded the base! we "arked out the area that the shed would occupy directly on the Masonite with aper"anent "arker. 'e+t! we bean actual construction on the shed itsel(. A hu"an-si3ed Warha""er"iniature was used to ude the scale. We cut two walls out o( a sheet o( balsa wood. Both walls stood to aheiht o( /! and we cut a shorter side wall to create a slope (or the roo( to rest on. We used the le(tover

Take a trip to your closest tropical (ish store or local PetS"art. >ouEll be surprised at what youEll discover. The colu"nbuildin involved. A(ter a #uick tri""in with a hobby kni(e to re"ove the "old lines! we were on to the ne+t step.

*ro" the Masonite! we cut a circular base! lare enouh to hold the base o( the colu"ns with enouh spare roo" le(t belt sander can #uickly create a H5O ede! but a rasp (ile and a sheet o( sandpaper will ive you the sa"e result with

A(ter applyin superlue to the botto" o( the resin colu"n! we attached the structure to the Masonite base. By luin scenery that allows skir"ishers and characters to "ove throuh the scenery instead o( around it. At this stae! we alsdry at rouhly the sa"e ti"e! and we could "ove alon "ore #uickly to the ne+t step.

$nce the lue on the colu"ns and stones dried! we painted a liberal about o( wood lue on the top and beveled sidesparkin lot on the base. &tEs i"portant to work #uickly so the lue doesnEt dry be(ore the sand oes on.

A(ter everythin dried! we ave the entire piece o( scenery a ood coat o( %haos Black Spray Pri"er. We painted thebrown earth. >ou can paint your colu"ns however you like rey and dark brown are only a (ew obvious choices.

'e+t! we drybrushed the scenery to ive it depth. To "ake it stand out even "ore! we added di((erent types o( veetover patches o( wood lue. $nce the lue dried

trianle piece (or the partial opposite wall. When cuttin out your walls! "ake sure that you think about thedirection o( the natural wood rain. That way! when you drybrush the balsa! the wood will look "uch "orerealistic.

$nce we cut out the walls! they had to be detailed. We drew uides (or the separate planks that would "ake upthe shed. We then used a hobby kni(e to score the wood and cut a crooked QapN on either side o( the score"ark I ust deep enouh to pull a thin sliver (r o" the balsa wood! but not deep enouh to cut clean throuh tothe other side. This process was repeated (or each side o( each wall. To add a (ew details! we added a windowand sill as well as a (ew nicks and oues. We t hen lued the entire shed to the base with superlue.

To (inish the details! we added the roo( and a support bea" (or the open corner. To add a bit o( stability! we cutout and lued a very thin piece o( balsa alon the (ront openin o( the shed. This support bea" supports the

entire (ront section and provides an anchor (or the corner support bea"! which was only a thin piece cut to theproper heiht. We used thin pieces o( balsa wood to "ake both sides o( the roo(! which were ust irreularrectanles that were cut to overhan the corners o( the shed slihtly. We also used thin balsa to decorate theinside o( the structure.

The wood pile was a si"ple "atter o( rabbin so"e o( the thicker balsa wood and cuttin one lon piece o((. &t didnEt have to be a per(ect cut! since it looks "uch better i( the los vary in thickness. We broke this sinlepiece into separate los by hand. 'o kni(e here I that would leave too s"ooth a cutJ Raed edes look a little "ore natural! and they paint up "uch "ore nicely! too. We lued t he los to the Masonite in a disorderlypile.

The (ence was really si"ple to "ake. We cut (our QpostsN to a heiht o( about @6, and then rouh the" up a bit with the hobby kni(e. We cut o(( sharp corners and oued the posts. Then! we lued the posts down tothe Masonite at reular intervals with a dab o( superlue. We cut the slats (ro" the thin balsa and lued the" in place. To "aintain the appearance o( nelect! we lued the slats at irreular anles to create the look o( a"issin nail or two.

The actual "an-"ade structure was (inished. We could now bein work on the QnaturalN ele"ents. Aain! we lued stones to the base with an a"ple a"ount o( superlue. We "ade the snowdri(ts (ro" spacklin. Wespread this #uick-dryin co"pound on the Masonite and s"oothed the edes into slopes that "et the board. To ive the i"pression that the dri(ts were (or"ed by wind blowin (ro" the sa"e direction! we shaped thespacklin slopes to lay up aainst the boulders and the buildin at the sa"e anle. 8ittle details like the direction o( these snow dri(ts "ake scenery "uch "ore realistic and believable. We le(t the spacklin overniht todry co"pletely.

The (ollowin day! we added sand with "ore wood lue. The only thin le(t to do was to ( inish the proect with a (ew coats o( paint. We pri"ed the entire piece o( scenery black. *irst! we drybrushed the shed with a darkbrown! (ollowed by varyin shades o( rey. We did this because it was hard to i"aine the shed retainin its brown color a(ter weatherin stor"! sun! and snow. Then! we painted the round in browns to suestsodden dirt. We added 1loss 0arnish around the piles o( snow to suest "eltwater or "ud. We painted the rocks liht rey so they would stand out aainst the soil! the white o( the snowdri(ts! and the stark rey shed.We painted the dri(ts (ir st with 1hostly 1rey and then drybrushed with Skull White. 8astly! we attached Static 1rass and a (ew tu(ts o( *ield 1rass to the base in patches with wood lue.

While "ore ti"e consu"in than the Ruined %olu"ns! this piece is a per(ect start to buildin your own s"all ?"pire villae.

We worked on the QpipesN (irst. We e+peri"ented with di((erent co"binations o( parts and (iured out how "uch space would be taken up by the plu"bin hardware and the (oa"core when they were asse"bled. By

Te+turin a "odelCs base or a terrain piece is very i"portant in that it can "ake or break the (inal look o( a proect. This article will show you how to do it riht (ro" start to ( inish andshow you a bunch o( di((erent earth tones to help you decide which one is riht (or your proects. %hite D$arf and the 1a"es Workshop web site are (illed with e+a"ples o( "akinspecial terrain (eatures (or use as obectives or even buildin a a"in board to enhance your a"e play. &n order to create terrain and bases! you need to know the basics! and

te+turin an ite" is a (unda"ental basic o( terrain construction.

The basics o( te+turin can be learned by clickin the (irst i"ae on the top le(t. $nce you have these skills down! choose any o( the other te+ture swatches below to (ind out how toachieve that look with step-by-step instructions. The #uality o( the e+a"ples provided below can be achieved by anyone. 4ust take your ti"e and youCll do ust (ine.

Be(ore you et into the actual proect! it "iht be a ood idea to consider the supplies youCll need by clickin the link below. 1ood luck and have (un "akin e+citin terrain (or 1Wa"esJ

Below are two e+a"ples o( how to te+ture or (lock terrain and "odel bases! as well as so"e (urther e+a"ples o( interestin te+ture variations. The (irst e+a"ple shows how to createa (ine! even te+ture! while the second details how to "ake a coarse and rocky te+ture. The order o( the pictures corresponds to the nu"bers below the i"aes.

To start thins o((! water down so"e wood lue. A ;:H "i+ o( water to lue will work ust (ine. $ptionally! you can water it down on the (ly by repeatedly addin water to thelue as you o. Use an old! raed brush and spread the lue over the area to be te+tured. Work (ast and cover s"all sections at a ti"e as the lue will bein to dry i( youwork too lare or slow. &( you really need to cover a lare area! "i+ up a tub o( watered-down lue ahead o( ti"e and use a lare brush to spread the lue around. ?ither way!"ove #uickly or the lue will not be as sticky as it needs to be.

Be(ore you add the sand! it is a really ood idea to place so"e sort o( bucket or (lat container underneath the obect to catch the e+cess sand. 'ow! usin so"e (ine sand!sprinkle a hand(ul over the lue-covered area to be te+tured. 1ently shake o(( the e+cess sand into the bucket a(ter each application o( sand. &( you are workin in s"allsections! si"ply repeat the process until the area is co"pletely covered.

$nce the piece it te+tured! let it sit (or a bit. >our best bet is to be patient and wait overniht. 2owever! you i"patient (olks can usually et away with waitin a "ere / hours orso. The sand will now be (ir"ly attached and ready (or a basecoat o( paint. So! rab a lare brush and start applyin so"e %haos Black paintJ >ou can use a spray can tospeed thins up i( necessary. >ou are now ready to paint.

%oarse te+ture is best created by usin wood lue! since the stroner bond helps keep the larer ranules o( sand in place. Spread the lue onto the area to be te+tured. Usea ;:H ratio o( water and lue. Work (ast and cover s"all sections at a ti"e since the lue will bein to dry i( you work too lare or slow. &( you really need to cover a lare area!"i+ up a tub o( watered-down lue ahead o( ti"e and use a lare brush to spread the lue around. ?ither way! "ove #uickly or the lue will not be as tacky as it needs to be.

Be(ore you add the sand! it is a really ood idea to place so"e sort o( bucket or (lat container underneath the obect to catch the e+cess sand. 'ow! usin a coarse sand"i+ture! sprinkle a hand(ul over the lue-covered area to be te+tured. 1ently shake o(( the e+cess sand into the bucket a(ter each application o( sand.

$nce the area is covered! it is ood practice to place a drop o( lue over really lare pebbles and bits. This drop will ensure that they stays put and donCt (all o(( durinpaintin. Use a ;:; ratio o( lue to water (or this. 'ow! wait (or it to dry and then lay down a basecoat o( %haos Black paint.


21/64

Above are two e+a"ples o( additional ways you can te+ture a piece. The (irst one is a si"ple co"bination o( (ine sand and coarse sand dispersed in a rando" (ashion. This "i+breaks up the uni(or"ity o( a (ine te+ture with a (ew clu"ps o( rocks here and there.

The second e+a"ple uses a (ew broken balsa wood sticks and larer sand rains to create a debris-(illed area. Balsa wood is really ust a startin point! because you can use waonwheels! knives! barrels! and "ore to ive o(( a debris-strewn (eel. When usin lare piece o( debris! you "ay want to use super lue or o back and place a drop o( lue over reallylare pebbles and bits to ensure they stay in place.

The steps below show you how to create a si"ple reen te+ture rese"blin a slihtly "uddy (ield. 7eep in "ind that between the drybrushin staes! it is help(ul to ust keep thecolor you currently have on your brush and dip into the ne+t color. This helps blend the two colors o( paint in a natural (ashion while you drybrush. 2owever! you donCt want to do so i(the two colors are radically di((erent. &( you have no clue how to "ake this te+ture! visit the basics sectionand learn howJ

To start thins o((! drybrush Scorched Brown over the entire area. This will ive the piece an earthy undertone.

'e+t! heavily drybrush )ark Anels 1reen over the area. 2eavy "eans to have a decent a"ount o( paint on your brush.

%ontinuin on! use Snot 1reen. >ou will bein to see so"e results at this point as you drybrush.

'ow! apply 1oblin 1reen. )rybrush the area pretty thorouhly! thouh it will help the overall e((ect i( you concentrate on certain areas and leave so"e areas alone. This willhelp distribute the color so it doesnCt look too even and arti(icial. At this point! you can consider everythin done.

This last step is co"pletely optional! thouh it doesnCt look hal( badJ Apply a very liht drybrushin o( Bleached Bone on a (ew select areas to ive the te+ture "ore depth.ThatCs about itJ

Other I+eas,0ariations on this color sche"e can involve "ore vibrant reens like Scorpion 1reen or duller tones that can be produced by addin another deep brown! like )ark*lesh! to the earlier staes.

Start o(( with a drybrush o( Scorched Brown over everythin! "akin sure to heavily drybrush the rocky areas. $nce this dries! heavily drybrush )ark Anels 1reen onto therass areas only! avoidin the rocky bits. &t will help to have a separate brush ready (or each color as you o. Thins will "ove #uicker and the colors will keep better.

)rybrush Snot 1reen on all the rassy areas and then use )ark *lesh (or the rouh round. Be care(ul not to be sloppy and et reen where you want brownJ

Movin alon! drybrush with 1oblin 1reen and Bestial Brown onto their respective areas.

%are(ully drybrush the larer rocks with Bubonic Brown and lihtly drybrush the rouh areas as well. *ocus your attention on a (ew rocks. The reen areas are pretty "uchdone with! so o back and touch up any sloppy paintin now.

To (inish! use a "i+ o( Bleached Bone and a tine o( Bubonic Brown to hihliht a (ew o( the "ore interestin rocks. Also! i( you wish! very lihtly drybrush Bleached Bone onthe reen areas. At this point! you can consider yoursel( done.

As an interestin option! use so"e sort o( static rass. There are tons o( di((erent colors out there! ust (ind one you like and use it. Applyin static rass is a si"ple "atter o(spreadin so"e lue in the desired area and then sprinklin static rass on the spot. When placed in strateic patches here and there! the end result "akes (or realisticterrain.

Other I+eas,0arious reens could be used (or di((erent rass e((ects! and so"e o( the rocks could be picked out with a separate color like %ode+ 1rey (or e+a"ple. Also! you couldust paint the rocky areas usin the%oarse Ash Plaincolor sche"e.

The new rules (or 7islevite Allies %ontinents (eatured in %hite D$arf :67 e+pand the troops available (or the QoodN ar"ies o( the Warha""er world. Alon with these 7islevitetroops co"e a host o( new tactical options that e+pand what these ar"ies can do on the battle(ield. *or so"e players! these options are reason enouh to collect! paint! and play witha (ew 7islevite rei"ents. *or other players! "ysel( included! si"ply havin a distinctive! character(ul (orce on the tabletop is su((icient "otivation to include 7islevites. Whatever yourreason (or addin the" to your ar"y! itEs worth considerin how 7islevites can (it in with your "ain ar"y and how they can work to your advantae. WeEll take a look at how 7isleviteAllies can e+pand and enrich the process o( ar"y co"position as well as how the warriors (ro" the steppes can be used strateically on the tabletop.

!lorio*s Char2e9Be(ore we investiate how you "iht incorporate 7islevite allies into your Warha""er ar"y! letEs take a "inute to e+a"ine the !lorio*s Char2e special rule. Thisrule ives 7islevite Wined 8ancers and 1ryphon 8eionnaires an enor"ous ede when they chare into close co"bat. Whenever these units chare! the taret unit or "odel "ustpass a anictest or (lee! e+actly as thouh it had been chared in the side or rear while enaed to the (ront. The !lorio*s Char2eis "ore e((ective than even )ear! because the

7islevites do not have to outnu"ber their opponents in order to (orce the" to (lee. &n addition! "any troops that cause )earthe"selves! and thus would nor"ally be i""une to it! willstill be subect to anic. Thus! the !lorio*s Char2eis a 2U1? advantae that the 7islevites can brin to your Warha""er ar"y eo"an. As cavalry is also the reatest strenth o( the7islevites! one "iht be te"pted to think that incorporatin Wined 8ancers! Unol 2orse Archers! and the 1ryphon 8eion into a Bretonnian ar"y would be larely redundant. WhileitEs true that 7islevite Allies will not radically alter the BretonniansE strateies and tactics! the (orces o( 7islev do allow you to season your cavalry choices to your tastes and to handpick your troops "ore selectively in order to (ace particular ar"ies.


29/64

Wined 8ancers have several advantaes over 7nihts ?rrant. 8ancers have hiher Weapon Skill and 8eadership and cantake advantae o( the !lorio*s Char2e rule! which! as discussed earlier! is particularly e((ective aainst low 8eadership troopslike Skaven and 1oblins. 7islevite cavalry also does not su((er (ro" the Impet*o*srule! which can (orce 7nihts ?rrant to"ake ill-ti"ed chares. 2owever! you pay (or these advantaes! as Wined 8ancers cost /H points a piece! whereas 7nihts?rrant are only / points. 7nihts ?rrant do have a (ew advantaes: a better ar"or save due to their bardin ou "iht consider (ieldin a

unit o( Wined 8ancers in addition to a solid core o( 7nihts o( the Real" aainst ar"ies with low 8eadership troops. $therwise! Bretonnian co""anders are probably better servedby their old stand-bys: 7nihts o( the Real" in 8ance (or"ation.

uestin 7nihts and "e"bers o( t he 1ryphon 8eion are statistically identical and co"parable in ter"s o( points. The uestin 7nihts have a better ar"or save eo"en! who will ain ; Strenth on the chare! are theway to o. >eo"en can also be e#uipped with shields and liht ar"or to "ake the" even "ore durable in close co"bat eo"an.

The 7ossars! ar"ed with reat weapons and bows! provide a reliable in(antry choice to the Bretonnian eneral. Althouh Peasant Bow"en are ar"ed with lonbows


30/64

1ryphon 8eion! when not used as a part o( a (ull Allies %ontinent! counts as a Rare choice per the Mercenariesrule. *orsakin a 2elblaster 0olley1un or a unit o( *laellants in (avor o( 1ryphon 8eionnaires is a hard pill (or "any ?"pire enerals to swallow.

7islevite cavalry! thouh "ore e+pensive than ?"pire 7nihts! bene(its (ro" the !lorio*s Char2erule. As stated throuhout this article! the!lorio*s Char2ecan be devastatin! particularly aainst low 8eadership troops.

The (ailed anictests will"ake their e+tra points and lihter ar"or see" inconse#uential in the lon run.

Unol 2orse Archers can be an interestin replace"ent (or or addition to Pistoliers! the standard )ast Ca-alrychoice (or the ?"pire. The Unolscost / points less than the Pistoliers! have a slihtly lower ar"or save! and bene(it (ro" a hiher Ballistic Skill. )ecidin which one to take depends
