2gud2bbad Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hey guys, I want to rebase my models accordingly to the Istvaan V battlefield. Is there any background information on how the earth and generally atmosphere is/looks like? I googled and the giant Forgeworld diorama doesn't really let me conclude anything. I'd like to go for a muddy touch with lots of barbed wire and equipment left there during the landing.

Calas Typhon Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Black sands mostly, rocky terrain, quite mountainous. I would say this would fit the whole world over. I would expect some dark earthing too, due to the black sands and the fact there were miles upon miles of trenches and hills.

Lord_Ikka Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Black sand, dark mud,something like granite rock. Monofilament razor-wire and tank traps make sense based on the Traitor Legions fortifying their positions.

2gud2bbad Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Okay thanks, i'm gonna give it a go. Though i'l probably have to go a bit lighter with the mud for contrast's sake Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325519-what-was-the-battleground-of-istvaan-v-like/#findComment-4490977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
