This is the 1st tile. A test tile. I am pretty sure how it will go. I have the stuff. It is more about how the colors turn out Vs how I think they will turn out. Then I want to be able to do the easy time eatting stuff on the road.
A light dry brush of Tan next.
The GW Realm of Battle board take a beating from Con to Con. Nothing sucks more than trying or having to repair them after some many. The FW board is in a never ending repair phase. After about 3 years 6 Cons, they need major attention if a complete redo.
With this in mind, I am going to coat them in Poly. I had an old full-ish can of soft tone.
Now a I am sure you said; "what the hell did you just do?" Yep its a little too stained brown. Doesn't matter so much as it is not the point. The effect is to toughen those base layers. No one wants chipping in 3 years. Second was shading between the stones.
Normally it is about 24hrs for the poly to dry. We don't want that. At 10 to 14 hours, when the board is still wicked tacky. Not so much you left finger prints. This will help lock down the next step.
Air Brush time. An AdeptiCon free swag paint, a terracotta color. Just on the stones again. Only enough to stain them.
Let all that business dry over night. The next step is another "what the hell did you just do?" I laid down white glue where the dirt part is. Then covered it with a chocolate grout. This shit is extra messy.
After its covered, immediately grab it, flip it and beat the grout off. Don't worry the grout will stay where ever you put glue!
Now grab your airbrush, ensure it is clean and dry. You do not want it spitting liquid. Your going to use the airbrush to blow off the grout.
Let it dry for 4 hours. Once dry. A hammer with be all that will take it off.
The goal is to make the tile look like these two terrain pieces.
I had come out a little too dark. I went over the dark spot with 2mm summer grass.
See too dark.
Over top of that a cream fine tile grout. And IPA again
I am happy with the results. So the next tile was started. There is a lot of standing around waiting for shit to dry.

Not so dark
