Glacier and Ice repaint
The WotC "sand expansion" pictures finally got me motivated to repaint the extra Tundra set I bought last summer (using the 25% off free shipping code).
I used acrylic paints (tubes you can buy at Wal-Mart, etc.) and just mixed colors to get what I wanted. 1) The "rock" glaciers started by getting a base coat of black, then a dark blue wash, and then a light blue wash (try to match the blue of the rock tiles) and then finally a light dry brush with a tan to add a little highlights. 2) The "sand" glaciers started by getting a base coat of dark brown, then a slightly lighter brown wash, and finally a tan/yellow wash. Then a very light "dry brush" with some of the original dark brown base (for a few highlights). And lastly a very very light black wash to tie it all together. 3) The "tar pit" (ice tiles) were done basically the same as the rock "glaciers", except they had an extra black wash/dry brush applied to at the end since the light blue wash made them a little too "blue" 4) The "quick sand" (ice tiles) also were done similar to the "sand" glacier, but also had the extra black wash at the end. For the tar pits and quicksand, we use the following rules: When entering a tar pit or quicksand tile, role the 20d, if you role 11-20, continue movement, role a 2-10, end movement, role a 1, end movement and add one wound. BTW, the figures in the pictures are some of my RotV figure repaints -- see the link in my signature for more on them. |

Those look really nice! In some ways, the repainted ice almost looks too good to go with the rest of the terrain! The tar pit/quicksand rule is interesting, too. Not quite as deadly as lava, not quite as slowing as water. That might be a new niche for special terrain rules.
Good job, and keep 'em coming, Ret! |

Very nice. I would like to see some of the rock terain hexes painted like this and then put with the mountains.
I see the terms "wash" and "dry brush" used in many of the re-paint threads. Would anyone care to elaborate on these techniques please. I want to do some painting of my own, but I am an armature and could use some pointers. I'm not sure how to "apply a wash" or what it means to "dry brush". Anyone? Great trades with Onacara, Gypsy, SirGalahad, elltrain, generalgina, Concord, Just_a_Bill, LongHeroscaper, janus19390, and the very generous obfuscatedhippo. |

I use artist acrylic paints (comes in tubes) and I do the wash and dry brush as follows: Wash = a very diluted paint (more water than paint) then apply the mixture over the whole item. If it goes on too heavy, use paper towels to soak up the extra. The color will remain in the low areas and give a light cover to the rest. Dry Brush = use the paint straight from the tube, get paint on the brush and then on a paper towel take several brush strokes to get most of the paint off, so what is left is just a small amount of paint. Then lightly go over the item with the brush. This will leave just small amounts of paint on the item. I use this to highlight areas. |

Those are amazing customs. They look fantastic.

They both look great. I especially like the rock one. I never could figure out why WoC proposed to release a sand mountain repaint when most scapers have a lot more rock tiles than sand. Id like to see a rock set released that looks as great as the one you've done.
