First up – Happy New Year to everyone!
I haven’t painted anything from my Dungeons and Lasers Woodhaven Kickstarter pledge in some time now. These pieces in fact were painted in November or December, and are in the round-up I recently posted, and so for the sake of my own completeness, here they are.
These were originally started as part of Dave’s Season of Scenery challenge, as supplemental pieces to a larger one. As it turned out, I didn’t get these finished in time, and the larger piece is also still unfinished. We’ll see if I can get that rectified soon(ish!)
So we have a animal pelt for the floor, a couple of desks and a small chest of drawers. Almost all you need for a small medieval or fantasy office space
Next, as you can see, we have an outhouse, a standing cupboard with shelves and a bed. I painted the bed with muted colours that could hopefully work for both nobles or guards, or at least a guard captain.
I wanted the “indoor” wood to look laquered, or at least varnished and somewhat cared for and so the outside outhouse wood is both darker, but with a slightly more “bleached”, lighter highlight to represent dried out wood exposed to the elements.
That’s it for today – hopefully I can start getting December’s models photographed and posted before too long!




Really nice. Especially like the woodgrain effect.

Thanks Guru – credit to the sculptors for that – all I did was the contrast/wash & drybrush!

Happy New Year to you! We have furniture that looks like that but, fortunately, not an outhouse! 😉 Very nice minis! 🙂

Cheers John – now you have something to aspire to! An outdoor “thinking room”.

Happy new year mate, great effect on the scenery, especially like the fur pattern on the skin rug.

Thanks Dave – I’m having a bit of a Season of Scenery of my own with the (mostly) pleasant weather and a little timne off from work. Lots more to come!

Very nice work on all this, mate. As Dave said, the rug looks very impressive! If you don’t mind me asking, how do you think this stuff compares to Terrain Crate in terms of sculpt quality? To me, the end results look excellent so I’m curious if you like it any better.

Thanks mate. I’d say that the Archon stuff is much better than Terrain Crate.
The Terrain Crate PVC stuff additionally suffers from being PVC (I gave a ton of it away to Guru a year or two ago because I didn’t want to deal with bendy PVC). Some of the Terrain Crate HIPS stuff is quite decent (I’ve got some of it coming to a post shortly) but the detail is far less than the Archon.
The Archon HIPS is softer than the very hard HIPS of Terraincrate. I’d put GW’s HIPS hardness in the middle, for reference, but yeah when it comes to sculpt quality, the Archon stuff is a lot higher overall. I’d be stoked to see them do some modern stuff, but it is what it is, I guess!

That makes sense and thanks for sharing your thoughts, mate. I’ll be keeping my eyes on the Archon stuff in the future!

Beautiful work, Azazel! The wood looks so crisp, rich and textured. Those pieces will really pop on any table. Lovely.

Beautiful work Az. The wood grain is well-done, but the animal pelt is my favorite.
