I promised you pics, so here they are! The dungeon project is finished, stage one:
There are enough dungeon tiles to cover a single gaming table, with a few tiles left over.
This is Stage One, so just the basic tiles (plus one door that I've already painted up).
It was a big project, very simple to paint but there was so much of it. I worked in batches of five tiles at a time.
Dedicating a table to the dungeon, and leaving the dungeon set up so I could see it grow as I painted more and more pieces, was definitely a key to keeping me going.
Although I used the same paints and techniques throughout, there is definitely variation among the tiles. Some batches came out lighter; some batches came out darker.
Of course, I could have purchased a pre-painted dungeon set. That would have cost considerably more, and I would have had to accept the factory paint job.
The next step? Painting some dungeon doors.
The 'fault line' running across the dungeon is due to this being a folding table. It's not perfectly flat in the middle.
I've also got to look around and see what I have in the way of monsters and adventurers for this dungeon. Some of my wargaming models look better in this dungeon than others, due to their basing.
