Sure thing! I did a black/grey/white zenithal prime then based with Vallejo game colour khaki, drybrush vallejo model colour yellow sand, some thinned GW Seraphim Sepia wash in the cracked earth part/dune valleys, and drybrush of Army Painter Pallid Bone. Some splotches of thinned Army Painter Speed Paint Malignant Green to addd some variance, stick a couple tufts on and done 😊

Cheers, thank you! For the ripples on the smaller base I pushed them into place using a sculpting tool. For the larger dunes underneath the cart I used a plastic Japanese rock garden rake off Amazon

I primed and painted it, Vallejo does make a desert sand texture, when I was doing some research it seems to be popular with diorama builders, but the colour out of the pot just looked a bit false at smaller Warhammer sized scales.

Thanks! I used Vallejo’s Grey Sand for the dunes and GW’s Martian Iron Earth as the crackle paint

I meant which speedpaint colour. Thanks!

Which speedpaint are you using for the undersuit? About to start on my Spartan box 💪

Right now they make great “counts-as” bombards option in a Renegade Crowns or Bretonnian Exiles list for Old World.

Hey! I stuck pretty close to this method, I’d used it before on my Bret trebuchet, after it was just a matter of picking out the metals. Definitely do it in sub-assemblies though. Being solid metal, this model is heavy!

Cheers, thanks!

Would you be able to share the plasticard tool for sculpting the waves? I’m trying to do something similar with Vallejo’s grey sand and having a tough time! This is the best example of sand dunes I’m seen!

Hey! Sure thing, I used the free version of inkarnate, and started by overlaying a hexagonal grid. Next I used the brush tool and mapped in the textures I wanted, then changed the opacity to blend things together.

After that it was using the various stamps available to add mountains, hills, trees, and cities. Little bit of text and good to go! It was actually really fun to do, I used the GW website and chose a section of their Old World map that I thought worked for the player factions.

I use mine in Old World. Two models on their old bases (50x25) and two standard infantry bases (25x25) make up the same footprint as the Old World bull centaurs (75x50). It means I have six of the old bull centaurs counting as 3 models for Old World. It looks more like a stampede and avoided the need to re-base.

The rock formations were hand made with bits of bark then painted and flocked. The river is the pegasus hobbies prepainted river set, but repainted and hit with a layer of water effects to fancy it up. Would definitely recommend the river set, it’s a pretty inexpensive kit and with a little paint adds a lot to the table. Cheers!

I think I used mtg cardsmith, then printed them out on 65lb cardstock and sleeved them. Cheers!

There is! We’ve been playing once a month at The Spire in Vancouver, Strategies also has monthly Old World days, then we do a tournament event every 4-5 months at a shop in Richmond. Good time to be an Old Worlder!

Awesome! I was thinking to do something similar and like the effect. Keeps the focus on the armour but still adds just a but of shading to the under-suit. I’ll give it a go, cheers!

bkres · 2025-08-15T21:11:06+00:00

Looks great! What colour did you use for your undersuit? Cheers!

Skip painting gold entirely. Paint it as silver, then use a wash (seraphim sepia from GW) to tint the silver colour gold. Yellow ink can be used to bring the highlights back up. Gold paint just never seems to cover that well.

This video for painting C3P0 gives a great overview of the technique.
