Deth Wizards – The Town Part 5

With only a few days to go, I had to get the terrain ready for the CONflict event and our Deth Wizards table - and the next step was a terrain wash.

As I didn't intend to drown them with Army Painter Washes (and drain my hobby budget by buying 17 ml pots), I went online to look for a proper terrain wash recipe and came across the one by Seb Makes Stuff. So I bought these two special ingredients and mixed them with a bit of brown paint.

Give it a good shake and I went with one of these foam brushes, as they work quite well with large(r) surfaces and give you quite a bit of control over the amount of wash you apply. Yet - depending on the structure of your model, you get quite a bit of wear and tear in no time, so make sure you have replacement on hand.

Deth Wizards – The Stitcher’s Warband Pt 2

Let us pick up where we left of the last time - with the Stitcher's Warband. It has a name now and the majority of the base colours has been applied.

I need to do some touch ups and details. And as this blog functions as a notepad for my projects as well, this is what I used for Kemmler. You can see the pictures further below.

Deth Wizards – The Town Part 4

The progress on the houses took the majority of my easter holidays and I picked up where I left off the last time.

I added further paints to the buildings, starting with the grey for the chimneys.

CONflict Rhineland 2025

We've been looking forward to this! CONflict Rheinland took place again last weekend, and we once again hosted our own table with Deth Wizards this time.

To put this event into context, CONflict used to be a public event with traders until 2019, but it switched to a closed format when it was relaunched in 2022, and we've been going ever since. We've had tables of our own for the last three years. So, we packed the car with some essentials and headed for Langenfeld, near Leverkusen.

The event runs from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon, with some people only staying for Saturday. As we have shown you the car park so many times over the last few years, we skipped it this time. I know, I know — traditions with our event coverage — but unnecessary repetition is wasteful.

As everyday life caught up with some of the participants, there were some last-minute changes to the hosted games. But don't worry — the replacements and other options were colourful too.

Deth Wizards – The Town Part 3

My printer has been busy - really busy. Putting through 3 liters of resin in just a month. That might not sound a lot to some of you, but I use a mono 4k - mostly for bits and pieces - so that is a new record for me.

I gave you an overview, on what I printed in the last article, focusing on the scatter terrain itself, and now had a bit of larger and mid-sized sections.

While I did the mock-ups, inspired by the Warhammer Siege and Mordheim barricade sections, I placed them on some spare bases that I have (these are Renedra bases that come with a lot of historical miniatures). You can of course use plastic card, but I have more than enough of these and they provide a sturdy base to work with.

Deth Wizards – The Town Part 2

The buildings are dry and I started painting them, from the inside out. I wanted something, that looked a bit like the old Warhammer buildings from the battle reports.

On Facebook I came across this Mordheim City Board by MSTerrainLab and it captures pretty much, in a grimmer way, where I want to go with this. Yellow-beige walls, blue-ish roofs and a gray-ish highlight.

Deth Wizards – The Town Part 1

Let's get it on. The houses are assembled and gaps filled as far as possible. Now it is time to prepare them for painting.

I have my go-to for black primer, which is Hit Color Beltons RAL 9005 jet black (matt / flat). But in case of light colours or white, I don't have something similar. For the cenital light / dusting, I usually use Army Painter matt white (as Games Workshop dropped their Skull White and is only offering light greys), but that is too expensive and too light for this purpose. Why not use the Hit Color white for this? Well, it is not matt / flat, but a semi-gloss and you can't really use that - even for terrain.

So I started asking around and was recommended Spectrum Primer, which is sold by Action in Germany for less than 3 EUR per can. It is flat, it is medium gray and incredibly cheap.

Deth Wizards – The Stitcher’s Warband Pt 1

I have prepared my Undead Warband (which needs a better project name) for Deth Wizards, and now we can start painting.

The primer was touched up with P3 Thamar Black and the miniatures (with the exception of the Skeletons) got a quick drybrush with Army Painter Matt White.

To get started, or better said in preparation, I made a moodboard with pictures of the painted miniatures, as an orientation where I wanted to go. I usually put them on my smartphone or tablet, so I can look them up while painting, zoom-in and such. I think this is practical.

Deth Wizards – More Scatter terrain

Busy days ahead! My vacation started yesterday and I have already applied some base paints on the buildings (I'll show the progress in a post of its own). But we're still missing some more scatter, so I went back and pushed some resin through the 3d printer. And after a few days, I had this nice assortment of bits and bobs.

We have some pre-designed barricades and smaller items to build these myself.

Deth Wizards – Preparing the Buildings

Further progress on Deth Wizards, as we're starting to assemble the buildings. A lot of them have wooden beams in ground floor and to prevent issues with supports while printing, these are separate parts.

And Dark Realms Forge took care of that in good way, by numbering the beams.

I simply used super glue, as it was the easiest accessible for me. I know some people have certain filament glues to bond bigger pieces (or more or less melt / weld them together). Mostly they have a tight fit, but in some cases, I'll need to retouch the areas to fill in the gaps.
