Dry-brush Your Terrain To Victory!

Updated: Dec 22, 2020

Sick of that grey plastic littering your tables? We've said it before, but having a beautifully painted army is not even half of the wargaming experience...No army looks badass on a plain table!


So if you're using unpainted terrain and ready to change that, give this super quick, super easy method a try! Here's how you can spice up your tables with a gothic style colour scheme in just three or four steps. I'd go as far to say that this entire process took no more than 10 minutes, and the result makes all the difference when it covers a full board!

Step 1: Prime Black

You do it with your army, do it with your terrain too! Simply pick up a matte black spray can and cover each side and layer of the terrain *Quick tip: Instead of using your citadel or army painter sprays, if you have a little know how, £1 spray cans designed for car rim priming are perfect for these kinds of jobs that require less detailing than miniatures. But that's a post for another day!

Step 2: Dark Grey Drybrush.

If you want to learn a little more about dry brushing, check out Tabletop Minions' video on it, but ultimately, it's taking an old brush you don't care about, loading it up with paint, brushing most off on a piece of towel and going to town!

That's a bit of an oversimplification, what this step essentially does is picks out raised areas of your terrain, all those little details and shifts the hue from a jet black to a grey whilst leaving the darkest areas shadowed.


Step 3: Light Grey Drybrush.


Here we're essentially following the same step as above, BUT being a little more careful with your placement, being a little more lenient and choosing the selected raised areas (not the difference on the Aquila door from the image above to visualise this)


Step 4: You're done! (almost) Realistically, you can stop here, but if you really want to go that extra step, paint in any detailing such as buttons, skulls or wires. Whatever you fancy! There you have it, a super simple way to bring those tables to life! Give it a try for yourself!
