I have two styles of rock terrain for my 28mm gaming. One is tan and the other gray. The idea is that these two colors can cover most of my locations needs. I have rocks terrain that is both very large and rather small, to give a nice range. Well, that was mostly true. I did not really have small sections for my gray rock terrain. While doing some sale shopping on Game Kastle, I came across some rocks on clearance (unfortunately, I do not remember who made them). I was reminded of this when looking for fallen rocks in my last Pulp game, so pulled these out the next day to work on them. I also grabbed some plinths that I bought from Terrain Crate, just to get them out of the way. Since I planned to paint them the same way, I figured I would kill two birds with one stone.
The models were all gray resin and did not require any clean up, so I hit them with gray spray paint to seal and prime them. Later on, I hit all the pieces with a Woodland Scenics black wash, thinned a bit. I use this only because it is rather cheap and good for terrain (I would not use it on actual troops). I let that dry and just hit each section with three levels of gray craft paint dry brushing and sealed them all with some Krylon sealer. I like the look of these, as they fit both as outcroppings and debris.
Now, if I could only remember who made them and get a few more…… Terrain always helps motivate me, as it is quick to paint and I feel like I am getting something done, which often is not the case when I am working on big army projects. Sometimes a little terrain break is just what the doctor ordered!
