Various weirdos and undesirables gather for a blurry photo in front of Muller's Tower
I don't have any experience with the making of wargaming terrain (as this blog post will no doubt demonstrate), and I also have almost zero money to allocate to the area as well, meaning that I can't just buy fancy buildings from GW or any of the other manufacturers out there.
But that wasn't going to stop me, and in the spirit of Rogue Trader, Blue Peter and the tutorial videos that I always end up watching on YouTube, I decided that the recycling bin was the best place to start my quest for terrain.
I seem to have a habit of wandering away from painting and modelling every couple of years and then being spurred on to return by something that reminds me of how much I used to get out of the hobby (and how much stuff I hoarded in a cupboard back when I had no kids and money, as opposed to the opposite).
Every time I do so, it seems that I'm ready to learn something new and step it up a level, so when a friend bought the Descent board game and suggested that I paint the miniatures, I was back at it and soon happened upon the YouTube videos posted by amiable northern bloke Luke Fellows on the channel for his Luke's APS (Affordable Painting Service) business.
Aside from his commercial venture, Luke shares so many fundamentally sound tips for painting and modelling that it's impossible not to learn something useful, but it's his money-saving ideas and knowledge of the materials that go into products such as washes and paints that I really wanted to share.
