"Bretonian Squires in terrain shots" Topic

Hi,
just updated my homepage with some photos of older bretonian squires from GW. After building some terrainpieces over the last months I thougth it was time to do some pictures with fantasy miniatures too (and not only with WW II).

Here comes a few pictures:

Most of the terrain pieces (hedgerows, fences, gamingmat from synthetic fur, hay wagon) are selfmade. More pictures and links to the pages with the terrain projects can be found here:

I hope you like it

Flawless work! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic, I love the mat..

These pics remind me why I was a Bretonnian player back in my WHFB days. The other armies have their blood-soaked wastelands and warpstone monstrosities, but there's no beating that charmingly quaint atmosphere of the Bretonnians.

You've really caught the essence of what I used to love (and I suppose still do) about the 5th ed Brets.

VERY NICE INDEED. THE TERRAIN IS VERY EFFECTIVE. HOPE YOU DONT MIND IF I TRY TO COPY

Very evocative stuff! I was a Bret player back in the day because I loved being able to paint up archers and men-at-arms and build nifty medieval terrain – your stuff is just perfect in my opinion.

GREAT work!

@ wyeayeman,
I've got my insiration and lot of tips for most of my terrain pieces from the www too and I would be happy if I can give something back to the comunity. That is why I do my homepage – and because i like the feedback.

@ all
So thank you all for the nice comments

How do you light the photos? It's very nice and natural, like you were outside.

lovely earthy tones on the squires

The mat is looking awesome. Thanks for posting.

Superb photography of excellent terrain and figures.

Looks like a scene from Robin Hood!

Very nice.

Very nicely done, thanks for sharing.

Perfect!

That terrain is stupendous.

Wonderful!! I love the backgrounds.

Outstanding work and photos.

Here, here to all of the above.

I like your wagons. They have, as you say, been neglected commercially, but can be very useful, as scenery, as a supply train to attack or defend, as something to clog the roads.

What did you use for the hay in the hay wagon?

Grelber

WOW!!

Hi Grelber,

the hay is done frome the offcut of the synthetic fur mats. I cut a piece of foam to the right size and glued on the "hairs" from the synthetic fur with woodglue. After drying I drybrushed the whole with acryl paint in different shades of ochre.

I have some castings of the two different carts I built.

The closed cart (Fuhrwerk) is done in resin and white metal and costs 14,80 EUR

The haywagon (Leiterwagen) is completly done in white metal and costs 19,80 EUR

More pictures can be seen here:

If there is some interest, just send me a mail about and I can calculate shipping costs to your country. I can also add some of the "hay" for free when needed.

Nice work! How did you make the fence?

Aha! Toothpicks and pine needles – what a great idea! Were the pine needles green or dried?

Hi Skeptic,

they where dry and grey when I collected them beneeth the tree. I put them for 15 minutes ito warm water befor I used them. So they become more flexible and didn't break.

Befor I added them to the base with the hotglued pooles I put them into a mix of woodglue, water and dark broun color. After drying the pine needles became verry durable and only had to be drybrushed in beige and grey colors.

I hope this helps
