Lots of great ideas in this video that I want to try, particularly with the 3 unpainted boxes of Warcry terrain I've got. For the bases, do you find you prefer the tea leaves or the painted texture? Also, for plants, I have have really good results with Gamers Grass laser plants. Lots of different kinds, no painting required , and I find they look quite realistic, though some people might find them to be a little fiddly.
@DarcyBonoCreations4 ай бұрын
I think I prefer the stippling version but that's only because I like a lot of color saturation 😅. I think the tea version would be the most versatile since it's not quite so vibrant and would work well with most color schemes.
