Volkme its Volkus


With the dust finally having settled on the holiday season I've been able to get back to the painting table with a bit more regularity. My first project of '25 is finishing up my last project of '24, the new terrain set for kill-zone volkus. I assembled and primed the terrain towards the end of October, and picked at it for a month or so before stepping away from my paint table for nearly 2 months. Part of the hiatus was due to the holidays, part due to my annual complete replay of the game Hades, a third part was due to picking back to back big terrain projects. Once I got back into it however, this project was very engaging and moved pretty quickly all things considered. I didn't get a lot of pictures of the early stages, but they'd have been boring anyway.

The above pictures are after I'd gotten all the "base" colors on. I knew I was going to do an oil was on this set after enjoying the results on my ITD set. I went with some brighter colors this time to make the oil effect more pronounced, but even knowing that I was kind of worried the brass was going to be a bit much.

There are tons of great details in this terrain, the notice board and flyer on the interior of two of the strongholds were too much fun to pass up. I had some SoB transfer sheets sitting around and borrowed the scripture portions to help bring them to life.

The oil was went on smoothly and really made the terrain pop. The more I use these washes the more I'm enjoying them, They add so much depth and life that its hard to imagine going back to standard/acrylic washes anytime soon. 
I'll try and get some more/better pictures of the terrain some day, but I've gotten it on the table a couple of times since finishing and its a blast to play on

Whao... it is a very detailled painting for these pieces of scenery. Impressive.
