GW 40K Terrain Pieces

These are thermic plasma conduits (2 packs) and regulators (1 pack) from GW. I think they were originally sold for use with Kill Team? But I intend them for use in various generic sci-fi skirmish games.

I started off with a base coat of black gesso, then a heavy drybrush of "rough iron" paint (an Army Painter paint color) for the main overall color which gave it a nice heavy duty industrial look, then various bronzes/coppers, blues, reds and gray, to do a bit of detailing. I was trying to keep things fairly simple, as game pieces rather than focal points for dioramas or the like.

So I set up assorted figures from my collection of sci-fi minis - just randomly, no actual game in progress (so far).

Bugs!

My first box/batch "bugs", from the boardgame, Myth (I think they are called crawlers in that game). There are basically 2 slightly different soft plastic models (they come assmbled). I loosely based the color scheme on some images I found online of blue crabs. The main color is turquoise with a fairly strong blue wash and some drybrushing, blue metallic on the head shell and the ends of the legs, red/orange on the "arms", and bronze eyes/eyespots. (Foundry dwarf for scale - they're about the same height as GW dwarves, albeit generally even bulkier)

(the rock formation is another cardboard insert from some electronics - I will probably base it and paint it at some point)

Each box of these contains 10 figures, so I ordered a 2nd box to make sure I have enough for games like Operation Last Train.

Edited to add the 2nd batch of bugs. I tried a few in red just to see how that would look. I could always use them as soldier versions or something.

The Nine Dwarves

Here's my latest, more old dwarves from Foundry (sculpted by Kev Adams, who is well-known for the many goblins he has done for Citadel/GW and others over the years, including some recent kickstarters).

The latest batch of 9 dwarves. All different, but I tried to tie them together by using the same general color palette.

Then the whole group, including 7 I painted some time ago (on the black squares). These were all from two boxed sets.

In the pics you can also see the cardboard insert from some electronics, which I think could be made into a terrain piece - the shape of this one looks like it might be good for a building complex.
