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

They are so cool!I love the way you make it look so real. The stone sandstone look is really effective. Very clever. Love the idea of pulling out parts to make it look more worn out.Love the painting too, you must have a steady hand to paint something so small so well.How long did it take? Overall great work.Can't wait to see more!
