With the imminent arrival of the new Tomb Kings book and minis, I decided I would make a few bits of terrain for my TK forces. I decided to begin with a pair of monoliths, a Pyramid and gateway to a King,s Domain.
First off I made a monolith frame from cardboard, when finished this will measure 60mm across the base and be 120mm high with a further 25mm for the height of the plinth. I have used ordinary cardboard here, at this point i made the dimensions 6mm smaller as I am going to clad the cardboard with 3mm foam.
Here is the foam clad monolith, I have carved in the blocks using a pen and added striations into the surface by cutting across the surface with my knife, small tears and snags are a good thing here as I am looking for a worn sandstone look. I actually took a tair of tweezers and pulled out more bits to add to the weathering.
Here are the 2 monoliths on plinths and hardboard bases, neither of which are in any state of readyness yet, I have to carve them and coat everything in polyfilla before going over the details and painting in appropiate sandy colours

Opening Shots
Well, I finally got around to putting a blog together. My intention here is to showcase some of the terrain and scenery items I have made, share some ideas and tips with fellow modellers and to offer supplies via my shop once it all gets up and running.
I am a member of TerraGenesis, THE greatest terrain site online. Special items that I do will appear on there as well as here. Their link is Here.
I have been wargaming for 20 Years on and off, I play 40K, WHFB, Space Hulk and used to play DBA, Rennaisance and Full Thrust as well as a raft of other systems that I have tried over the years.
