A bit of terrain today – some more scatter-ish bits from the Star Wars Shatterpoint Core Set and Take Cover Terrain Pack add-on that I decided to get done quickly during early January. They’re not super exciting by any means, but they are now assembled and painted!
There’s these rocky spire-things. I guess they work as movement/LOS blockers in Shatterpoint. My understanding is that Shatterpoint uses a lot of verticality and these don’t really have a lot to do with that, but then I’d rather have an interesting and attractive looking table than a tedious 40k 10th-edition collection of L-shaped ruins.
I sprayed them with the same texture paint that I used on the 20th Century Fox logo that I printed and painted some time ago, as they were a bit too smooth. They’re actually pretty scale-agnostic overall. I don’t have any Shatterpoint figuresactually painted at this point, but (I think) they’re pretty similar to the Crisis Protocol stuff.
They also work pretty well alongside the mechs…
…snd also alongside both 1/100 (15mm) and Legions Imperialis tanks.
The other half of this post are these crates. When stacked, they’re pretty tall, regardless of whether they’re next to the smaller Imperial Assault minis or oversized Crisis Protocollers. Now I painted a set of these things quite awhile ago, and so I wanted to do something else with these ones. After all, I’ve certainly painted enough generic looking individual paints to last me more than a lifetime. In fact, if I ever find where I put that first set, I’ll probably glue a few of them together as well to turn them into small barricades instead of bits of full-ignorable decoration.
Anyway, they’re a good example of “it is what it is” in hobby form, and they’re now assembled, painted and about to be shoved into some sort of storage container until I need them again. The spires are all January models, while these were completed yesterday, though all of this stuff was built in January. As such, they all count towards both Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26, and also Anne’s 2026 Miniature Assembly Challenge.

excellent work on both mate, the colors of the rocks look very natural, and very alien, great texture work on the crates as well.

Thanks Dave. The crate texture was done by “painting” them with a tiny make-up sponge and it worked out pretty nicely. I could see myself painting some 15mm T-34s using that method…

Thanks mate. If we manage to try out Alpha Strike this weekend they may even get some use!

Nice work, I’m surprised that the rock outcrops work so well at all those different scales!

Honestly – so am I. I keep a few LI/BT/FoW models next to the light box, and so when I was taking the photos with the regular-sized models I saw them and went “huh”.
Put them in front of the rocks, and what do you know? They all worked!

Love the rock pillars. They look like great shapes, and the finished paint looks very good.

Thanks mate, they did make them out of interesting shapes/segments which makes them a bit more visually appealing. 👍

Nice – can never have too much of this sort of thing… though, you must have a metric ton or so by now? 😉

You’re not wrong. Though not as bad as the random pieces of scatter – crates, treasure chests and other random junk – I’ve accumulated!

Lovely to see some Shatterpoint stuff there! Those crates are really nice, I’ve still not done anything with mine, though have done the rocks. I think you’ve inspired me!

Thanks mate. In the end, they were super easy to get done. Spray, wash, do nothing with them again for 3 weeks, then decide “I need to finish these today” and then some dab-painting with a little make-up sponge.

Well you really wouldn’t think that’s the case, fair play! Might see if I can get mine done before the end of the month, hopefully they’ll be just as straightforward!

Neither of these really scream Star Wars to me but that’s alright, not all terrain needs to. It doesn’t hurt that its fairly versatile as well! I think you did a great job painting them and the rocks look suitably “rocky” for lack of a better term 🙂

Very nice! 🙂 Those are quite impressive rocky outcrops, whichever scale minis they’re used with!

I have to go with the group and say the rock towers are excellent 👍🏻
