Modiphius The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms Terrain


What's the next best thing to having an airbrush? Having a friend who has an airbrush.

Remember the dungeon tiles that I made earlier for my planned megadungeon campaign? Well, when I saw the photos of the Modiphius The Elder Scrolls resin terrain pieces, I thought they would be a perfect match for the tiles.

The pieces were beautiful, but giving them the paint job that they deserved was going to be difficult. Fortunately for me, FG had recently purchased a whole airbrush set-up, and kindly agreed to painting them for me. As you can see in these photos, he did a great job of matching the hue and the "lighting" of the pieces.


Here is a close-up of one of the wall tiles. There are actually wall niches for bodies, which are also a feature of the megadungeon I am planning to use! 


Here is another photo of the walls. I love the pre-historic-looking whirls pattern on the walls; in my fluff the megadungeon had its beginnings as an underground burial complex for successive cultures, from the neolithic age, through to the bronze age (yes, the bronze age is a thing for my setting - see the ancient magical bronze sword the fighter is holding in the photo), and into the early iron age.

There are four wall sections and six junction/end pieces in the set I bought - not enough to wall up every room that the PCs will go through, but my intention is more to use them for backdrops during combat.
