MORE TERRAIN FOR THE OGRE KINGDOMS
The release of the Ogre Kingdoms army marks the seond of o!r e"#loratory
ste#s into the lands to the east of the Old $orld% These mysterio!s territories
o#en the door to ne& #ossi'ilities for modeling yo!r terrain to re#resent the
&onders of the east% This artile sho&ases the &ork of (ario!s mem'ers of o!r
)S Ho''y Team &ho (ol!nteered to try their hands at reating some senery for
Ogres and the eastern lands%
Building on from our earlier series of terrainarticles for the Ogre Kingdoms,this article offers
quite a few tips, techniques, and new materials
for building more scenery to create a battlefield
for your Ogre Kingdoms army.
Snow-Covered Boulders shows you how to use
common obects, stains, and grasses to create
basic boulders. !he Ogre !otem"which was
loosely based on a #imalayan stupa or shrine$
gives you one idea for ta%ing the boulder idea a
step further.
Ho''y Note* &n order to get the effect of withered grass in these terrain pieces a
variety of different floc%s and types of static grass were used. 'ou can recreate these
effects with (ames )or%shop floc% and static grass.)oodland Scenics is a company
that manufacture many different types of floc% which you could also use, or you can
chec% out your local craft or hobby shop to see what they have to offer. *ifferent
types of in% can also be used to create the stone effects used in this article. +gain both
(ames )or%shopand )oodland Scenics produce in%s that can be used in this way.

basecoat may require a few passes for full coverage.
Ste# 0 & used a selection of in%s in a variety of earth tones to stain the boulders,
large roc%s, and base. Once the primer is dry, heavily dilute the colours with
water. +pply them to the roc%s in a 1leopard spot1 pattern. Since stone isvery rarely one solid colour, daub on a secondary colour with this 1leopard
spot1 technique. repare two separate cups with blac% "of a ratio of about
2345 pigment to water$ and dar% brown "2326 pigment to water$. 'ou may
have to play around with this miture depending on which in%s you use.
*aub the secondary colour on in rough patches. *on/t cover the entire white
surface. &f the colour is not rich enough, apply another coat once the first is
dry or cut down on the amount of water being used. *on/t be afraid to allow
some of this colour to ma%e its way onto the scree "sand and pebble base$.
Ste# 1 Once you are satisfied with the outcome of the 1leopard spotting1 and the
pigment has dried, it/s time to apply the dominant stone colour. repare acup of greyish in% "2326 pigment to water$. 7se this dominant stone colour
to wash all areas of the 1boulders1 as well as the base. &f the colour is not
rich enough for your first wash, apply another coat once the first is fully dry
or cut down on the amount of water being used. Set the piece aside to dry
completely before proceeding to Step 25.

The Finished Ogre Totem
!he images below show you the finished Ogre totem. Once you get the hang of ma%ing
Ogre boulders, you can build on them to ma%e fun Ogre scenery li%e the totem. et
your gory imagination run with itE
&n )arhammer +rmies3 Ogre Kingdoms, the
bac%ground story for the (orgers tells the horrid
tale of how they come to be. &f an Ogre infant is
born without a paunch, it is thrown down a gaping,
agged pit into the dar%ness below. &f they survive
the fall, these Ogre whelps e%e out a troglodytic
eistence in the warpstone-laced caves beneath the
tribe/s camp. Only the fiercest last long enough to
reach adulthood, and those that do are so mutated
that they barely resemble their Ogre %in.
#ere, we show you how to build your own (orger
pit scenery piece. !he finished product is ideal for
use in the +gainst !he Ogres mini-campaign"especially in Scenario &03 Sacrifice to the (reat
8aw$.
Safety Note**uring this proect, we used several power tools. !hese tools can be
very dangerous if you have no eperience with them and you are not properly
supervised. lease, be careful. &f you do not have easy access to these tools, you can
ma%e do with smaller equivalents, but the proect will ta%e more time. Consider
loo%ing around your community for open shops that will let you use their tools "many
universities and student unions have shops li%e these open to even non-students for a
small fee$.

Ste# 1 ?ow it/s time to bevel the edge of the hardboard base. 'ou/re aiming for

Ste# 2 !a%e the hardboard base and lay it over a sheet of 51-thic% insulation foam
"availability of this material often depends on local environmental laws and
climate conditions$. !race the outline of the base onto the foam with a

trace mar%s.
Ste# 3 Based on your diameter mar%s, draw the outline of the pit edge on the foam.
>emember, this is going to be agged roc%, so you don/t want a perfect circle
or other regular shape for the pit. Once you have the pit edge mar%ed, mar%off a 6.:1 diameter from the centre point G this one should be a circle as it
represents the line of teeth. ?ow, with your craft %nife, begin cutting the
foam to ma%e boulders, crac%s, and other roc%y formations. *o not cut out
maor chun%s near the tooth circle or you will have a hard time gluing them
down later.

Once the pit is cut out, ta%e the tetured stone again and press it into the

where you want sand. ?et, sprin%le on an appropriate sand-and-gravel mi

as you see fit. &n the eample above, we painted the base of the pit with
Chaos Blac% so you can see it better. )e also glued on a few of the teeth by
pressing them into the foam about 2F;1, ta%ing them out and running ?o
8ore ?ails along the base of each tooth, and pressing them bac% into the
foam. #owever, we strongly recommend that you don/t glue on the teeth at
this time "we did it for educational purposes... really$, as they will interfere

will show through and ruin your final proect. i%e always, you have to
paint this coat by hand because a spray can will melt the foam. +lso
