Ancient Erin

I saw these new ancient Irish scenary pieces from Alternative Armies last week. I thought they looked good so bought a few. These will be added to with more skulls and blades once the glue is dry.

It'll be nice to cover these in grass to give them an ancient look and feel.

This one will look great with some extra swords laying across the new rocks. Fantasy stuff really gets the creativity flowing and is so rewarding.

This is a pebble I found and thought it had an interesting shape. Taken back through the mists of time, it is now a huge fertility alter. I can't tell you what happens here, you have to use your imagination.

The great fertility stone looks very different in the moonlight. Some have said to see it move...and take on the shape of a giant woman.

 A Fomorian checks out the smell of new resin on the table.

Update: I've added some greenstuff furs on some of the alters. 

A few extra swords from the bits box help to finish off this weapon shrine.

Update: The next step is to dry brush them with three tones of grey. The last one is almost a white, to really bring out the details.

After the greys are dry I started playing around with watered down Contrast paint from GW. I leave the Contrast paint darker around the base of the rocks, this helps to weather them.

This is the fun part where you can add loads of subtle colours to the stones.

For this sort of scenery work I find a small make up brush is perfect. Just make sure you put it back when you're finished.
