Does it look like an earthworks? Nope.
Is it what Erny wanted? Probably not.
Does it fit the criteria of an entry and exit point for my Clan Snicket? Yes, I think so.
When Erny asked me to make this I wracked my brain to come up with something that would work.
How do I make something that goes down on a flat surface?
Only way I could work out how to do it was to go up first so I worked out I was going to need to build up in order to go down. So it's going to be a bit of a hill, I'm afraid I can't really avoid that but I'm reasoning that Skaven may create something akin to a mole hill anyway (maybe they've got a big Clan Moulder mole digging their the tunnels?).
It's a bit big so I hope it's going to be OK for purpose as it shouldn't take up the whole battlefield =(
So, here's it is unpainted:
It's not got a pointy top like a mole hill but that's mainly so minis can perch on top.
I've already painted it with textured paint:
I just hope it dries over night as I'm running out of time. I haven't decided yet if it's a real mole hill looking thing as I can't decide if it should all be bare earth or if I'm going to flock it. Suggestions would be very welcome.
Looking good compadre. I think you should primarily use talus around the entrance with some larger stones around to represent the earth that has been removed. I also think it would good if you cut out some gouges on one facing to appear craggy and give some variety. I also think it would be cool if u used some wearhering powder blacks and browns to represent the skaven explosion which caused the gaping hole.
