Terrain Focus - 40k Fence - Showcase



Here are a couple of pictures to show what the fence looks like on the battlefield. Above my Minotaur Scouts use the fence as cover before moving across the crater.



Above, my Aurelius Legion Tactical Squad takes cover in the rubble in front of the fence.


Hope you get motivated and make some terrain, 6th edition is bringing even more options with the chance to purchase terrain or even capture and use terrain on the battlefield!!

Terrain Focus - 40k Fence - Complete



So here is the completed Fence, all we needed to do was to add some grass and clean up any areas that needed it and tweaked the details with some more washes.

Here are a few pictures of different angles.




Below is another piece I did earlier that has a bit more rubble.





Hope you liked this tutorial and go make some Fences!!

Terrain Focus - 40k Fence - On the workbench


The next part of this series is about making a fence 40k style. These are the items you will need : a base of hard board cut to size and shape, some plastic mesh, toothpicks, pieces of high density insulation foam, bits of tree bark, a piece of pizza box card and some plastic sprue.


Start off by cutting off the ends of the toothpicks and threading them through your plastic mesh, once that's done secure the fence to the base, I have used greenstuff here but a hot glue gun will work also.
 
Next cut up your fence to make it look like its in a war zone, complete the ground as I have here with poly filler ( see my previous posts for details ) or use white glue and sand. Arrange your debris pieces to your liking and wait to dry.

 
 Once dry prime and paint black.
 

 

Next I paint the ground starting with Scorched Brow then dry brush with Bestial Brown, Bubonic Brown and ending with Bleached Bone,

 Next paint up your metals with Boltgun Metal and debris with Codex Grey.
 

Apply the details, wash the metals with Badab Black, after that's dry wash with Devland mud in selected areas ending with a wash of rust ( I mixed my own seen here ). The debris also get the same treatment without the rust effect.


Almost done so stay tuned for the final part.

 Here are some pictures from other angles.
 
  



This is how they looked before.
 




Here are some WIP shots of the bronze makeover.









I am really warming to this scheme.
