Cemetery Fencing

[igelkott]

I finished painting my cemetery fences from the reaper 3 kickstarter. I painted them up generally following the same approach as my dwarven forge dungeon tiles. Here's how I painted them:

- I primed the pieces with krylon black camo primer

- I then painted on a heavy drybrush of Pokorny Base Grey on all the stone parts

- I then picked out some of hte stones with Pokorny Earth Stone

- I then did a light drybrush with Pokorny Olive Dry Brush

- I then mixed together Pokorny Base Grey and Pokorny Stone Edge Dry Brush  and did a very light dry brush

- Now I worked on the metal - I painted the barts with Americana Ebony Black

- I then drybrushed the upper sections of the bars only with Americana Midnight Blue to provide a little color variation

- I then did a light drybrush of the bars with Pokorny Base Grey, followed by a similar mix of Base Grey and Stone Edge Dry Brush

- I then did an overall wash with Agrax Earthshade

 

I then sprayed them with Testor's Dullcote.

 

It was a quick paint job and should look good when I use them for terrain in my upcoming Deadzone game. BTW I had previously magnetized these and you can see the howto I wrote up here:

Here are a couple of pictures of the finished fences.

oops.... forgot the step with Agrax Earthshade at the end

I like the stones a lot.  None are really the same color but they aren't drastically different either. Nice work!

Very good work on the stones!!!

Here are some pics of the fencing in use during a game of Deadzone:

Nice.  I like that you spent the extra time to add some different colored stones in.  Did you glue the fences to the pillars or are they free standing from each other?

 

Also how did they hold up during your game?  I thought they were a little tippy and have been considering adding a large base to the bottom of them.  Probably some ballast to the hollow sections (lower the CG) and some trimed up tongue depressors painted matt black.

These turned out really nice and the magnetization is a great modification.

If you follow the link I have in the first post you can see how I magnetized the parts. I put steel rod into the pillars and magnets in the fences and it's quite stable. As you can see in the picture above, during the game I had a mini jump onto a pillar and it had no trouble staying up.
