Step 11
Everytime I've ever painted stone I've
gone straight for grey. But natural
stone is rarely grey so I decided to
go for more of a sand stone look for
the Hell gate.
So I painted the whole thing in Coat
d'arms paint number 528 'Russian Brown' |

Step 12
Once the paint had dried I applied
a watered down brown ink wash to the
whole thing. I wanted to bring out
the gaps in the flagstone path and
the arch.
As soon as the ink was dry I then
went back and dry brushed the whole
thing with the 'Russian Brown' paint.
This gave an ok effect but I decided
to try and bring out a more realistic
looking stone and so drybrushed it
a second time with Coat d'arms colour
225 'Khaki' and a further last highlight
using colour 233 'Linen'

Step 13
All that remained was to flock the
base. I decided to mix up several
different flocks. My normal green
grass was added to a darker brown.
I didn't want the entrance to Hell
looking too green and lush :)
I stuck the flock down by applying
a thick layer of paint (the Russian
Brown again) and sprinkling on the
flock before it dries. Most people
use a glue of some sort but I have
figures that are ten years old and
still have flock on their bases using
this method.
And to finish I added some long grass
I got from a model shop.

So there we have
it the finished Hell Gate complete
with some of my Undead army emerging
to do battle with the forces of the
living!

Models Celtos range |

Just for a laugh I added a Hellish
background for the Hell Gate in
this picture. If I wanted to be
really fancy I could print the background
out and actually add it to the gate
when on the tabletop......now there's
a thought.
Hope you found this article useful!
