Fungal Forest

Hi!

Just a quick update again with another piece of terrain, this time the Fungal Forest!

 A Cyclops skulks in the Fungal Forest

Constructed out of some rather fun polystyrene and prepainted eggs I picked up for £1.00 at Hobbycraft, they look quite good as alien terrain, be it somewhere in the Farpoint Sector or in the blasted wastelands of Aeroth.

The base is made from a piece of cork tile I have had kicking around for ages and the smaller fungal outcrops are cotton buds painted to match the colour of the eggs. I was heartened to note that the cork tile didn't warp with all the glue on it so will be making more use of it as a basing material as I go.

I must admit that its been great fun to put together some terrain thats a bit different and easy to make to boot. I have enough eggs to make another half dozen forest patches of various sizes and I may have to nip back to Hobbycraft for more as they had several different colours!

Handily the terrain itself is multi scale and a mighty forest in 6mm scale becomes a confined and oppressive piece of cover in 15mm scale:

It may not look super realistic but I do quite like the overall look and can't wait to add more pieces to my ever growing terrain collection. Hopefully I will be able to create some more unusual pieces to populate the landscape over the course of my holidays!

Martian Patrol!

Imagine a whole board covered in the things with an assortment of other, unusual bits and bobs dotted around. It would look fantastically unusual and rather in keeping with a Nausicaa style forest. I have some petrified trees to add and will see what else I can do to make things interesting for my assorted warbands.

All the best!
