Terrain: Battlemat and terrain pieces for SAGA

For our games of SAGA, I have once again expanded my terrain collection - on the one hand a new battlemat made of acrylic and on the other some (wheat) fields, woodland and rocky terrain.

For the rocky terrain pieces, I have kept one of it more traditional (just some rocks :-D ) and interpreted the other one more freely: a burial in ship form - as you can still find them today in some parts northern Germany and above all Scandinavia

The fields are made from teddy fur to get some practice for a large gamingmat made from this stuff - one of the advantages of this material is that it adapts well to contours, as one can see in the pictures.

Gaming mat as wip - just the acryl with mixed in sand and some first drybrushed highlights after it was dry:




The finished mat with the grass flocked on as last step:

Terrain: Mediterranean buildings

Some more 3D printed buildings, again designed by Jens Najewitz of course.

This time they are from his mediterranean range and are suitable for a great range of times and settings - from Greece, over Italy to Spain.

I treated the walls with a thin layer of spatula and replaced the printed wooden beams of the veranda with home-made wooden beams before painting the houses.

Especially with the roofs, I tried to achieve the typical Mediterranean very colorful look and painted many tiles individually with different red and orange tones.

The roof of the windmill was designed in the print file as a thatched roof, but I did not like the appearance of it.
To adapt it to the appearance of the tiled roofs, I have rebuilt it from individual bricks made of cardboard.
Furthermore I made some sacks of flour from Greenstuff and a old millstone just for adding some details ;-)

I like the result, even if it was very time consuming.
