I had a go at painting the small skirmish board that I textured the other day, using a combination of cheap artists acrylic paints, some almost empty rattle cans and a lot of dry brushing. The end result isn't too bad and not far off what I was aiming for but it needs a coat of ultra matt varnish to tone it down a bit I think. This may or may not get used for jungle themed games including lost world safari and dinosaur hunting expeditions, or for historical skirmish actions in Vietnam and Africa. It's now going to be set aside, however, so I can get back to the Sandbox Skirmish project.
That has come up nicely! I like it because it seems much simpler than flocking the matt, and is probably more durable too.
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea. I can make textured and flocked terrain templates to go on top, including jungle pieces, swamps, villages etc, without it being too permanent.
