Another of the Shadows of Brimstone sets that I started last month, the set comes with 4 each of the Mine Doorways and another type, the “OtherWorlds Doorways”. I haven’t started on the Other Worlds ones, but I’ve just completed these Mine ones.
They’re not bad. Pretty simple, and as with a lot of the other models from the SoB range, they lack a bit of detail. In this case, the woodgrain in the pillars is really soft and the lanterns are a bit rough. The rocks on the sides were also as smooth as something that’s recently been polished. I gave them a bit of texture using the old dabbing with Liquid Greenstuff trick and it’s improved their appearance no end. Anyway, a relatively simple paintjob across them, and they’re now done.
There’s still another four doorways left to go – the “OtherWorld” doorways. Spoooooky!
Here’s a scale shot with a Marine and beastman as well as some other Brimstone scenery pieces I painted recently. I guess I gotta paint the other ones now, eh?
The dirt ingredient on the lower parts gives it a real nice touch.

Thank you. I’ve now spotted some base edging that I somehow missed!

Nice job on the wood and stone textures! Great color on the wood too.

Cheers mate – they’re not amazing models or anything, but they should add a nice little bit of visual candy when I get around to playing SoB.

Nice textures! I am not completely sure I know what your green stuff trick is? Clearly, whatever it is, it works.

Just a rough, wide brush (like a stipple brush or a drybrush). Dip it into Liquid Greenstuff (from GW’s technical paint range), then stipple onto whichever overly-smooth surface you want to add a subtle texture to. Let it dry, prime (or paint) over, and you’re golden.

Awesome. I have that but found it useless for metal. Now I have a use! Thanks much

Yeah, it’s not especially good for gap filling regardless of the minis material. It’s best use is really the alternative stuff like texturing surfaces and priming pvc models.
