Archon Studios Dungeons and Lasers: Woodhaven – Stretch Goals – Outhouse & Furniture

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!

These small models technically just missed Dave Stone’s of Season of Scenery Challenge as I finished them on this last weekend, though I did have them on the go for awhile before that, so we’ll see if Dave decides to include them in his final round-up for the 2023 Season.

Once I cleared the Taxis and Pimpmobiles, I was able to focus on getting these smaller pieces of scatter done. They really didn’t take all that long to get the painting done once I got going.

Before the paint, I spent a bunch of time texturing them by stippling them with my faithful AK Easycast texture medium to get rid of the smooth plastic texture and add in that roughness.

Paint process was painting them in dark green, then 3 successively lighter drybrushes of Khaki/Medium Stone through to off-white. Black-brown wash of “Marine Juice” and then some thinned green glazed over the bottom areas to add the mossy effect.

These crystal things were painted in using off-white, then pale yellow before being hit with Tessaract Glow.

Finally, here’s a trio of models from different game systems to provide scale shots. One more Season of Scenery post to come!
