Schulzy's Fallout Terrain! UPDATED 7/22/11

[Schulzy]

Original Post:

Spoiler Alert!

I've been working on painting an entire RotV masterset to look like the Mojave Wasteland from Fallout: New Vegas. The overarching premise behind the project is "Apply Devlan Mud Liberally." This is some of what I have so far. All paints used are Citadel Paints.

A "demo" shot, if you will. Ignore the remains of my dinner in the background.



Comparisons to unpainted RotV terrain. The sand and stone tiles don't look all that different in the picture, because all I did was give them a wash of Devlan Mud. The grass tiles show the biggest change, as I actually painted over each hex, then added a wash. For the murky water tiles, I just slathered on some Devlan Mud, and topped it off with a gloss varnish, to prevent scratching.



The pieces to my Fallout-style "terrain expansion." I colored over the Marvel wall pieces and gave them a heavy wash of - you guessed it - Devlan Mud. I then glued them to their hexes. (The big on isn't glued on in this shot, but you can see what I did with in in the above pictures.)

I'm done! Behold the mutfruits of my labor! I bring you

Posiden Energy




An old Posiden Energy gas station, now a hollowed out husk of a
building. Once good for scavenging supplies, there's not even anything left here but toxic waste and the threat of powder-gangers.



Caeser's Legion was here...at some point. They left a banner behind, but there is no sign of them now. If you have more units than your opponent adjacent to a banner, all units within clear sight of the banner get a bonus. The Caeser's Legion banner gives a +1 to all normal attacks!



Nothing but toxic waste here. Units standing in toxic waste get a bonus to their stats, but at great risk! (I haven't settled on an affect yet.)



Nothing but toxic waste where the filling stations used to be. It's all murky and gross!



The road here is impassable to vehicles, if you're lucky enough to fine a functioning one in the Wasteland. Spoiler alert: you won't.



The beaches in the Wasteland aren't very scenic anymore. Even water that isn't irradiated is murky and gross.



Someone met a grisly end here. Looks like three bullets to the head to me.


These are a couple of pieces I'm not sold on yet, so I didn't finish them. I'm going to have to come up with some way to spruce them up before I use them.





A couple of before/after shots. In most of these pictures, the dirty green still shows up as greener than it really is. In person, it's roughly the color of dead/dying foliage.

Glueing the wall pieces down is a good idea. Never thought of it.

[Elven Lord]

Yeah. I mean. What are a few pieces from your hundreds of them to make things a little more convenient and stable?

Good idea Schulzy!

[Schulzy]

It's worth noting, I think, that the orientation of the large Marvel wall on the hexes is different from the way it was designed to be (i.e. the piece with the groove from the master set.). The way the hexes are positioned, there's a lot more leeway for bigger units to get through, and I'll bet there are only a handful of figures that couldn't get through, using castle door movement rules.

It looks . . . dirty. Dirty is always good. Good job! I would never be able to use Citadel paints for my cutom terrain. I end up wasting so much paint so it's better off being Folk Art than Citadel.

The world of Fallout is a dirty, dirty place.

Blarg, painted the rest of the water tiles, one of the RotV ruins, a 24-hex tile, and some 2-hex tiles while watching Batman Forever and Terminator. This is time consuming.

I'm finally getting around to finishing this project. I may have it done tonight, and I'll try to get pics up shortly after!

Check out this thread for some great inspiration.

Love some of that stuff. I was seriously considering getting some model train stuff to make some scenery, now I certainly will!

[Scapemage]

I just saw this in your signature, it looks amazing!
