A Green and Pleasant Land - Creating a Gaming Table for Barons War

I would like to first go through the three different types of houses I printed and painted for this table, starting with the humble small round house, which I feel I will print several off. IT can also be easily used for Dark Ages games such as Pillage.

Name: Small Round House

Next is a wooden house which offered a good opportunity to experiment with wood.

Name: Anglo-Saxon house B + annex

Publisher: Timescape Miniatures – https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-anglo-saxon-house-b-annex-657825

The wood was painted as follow:

1. Prime dark brown camo
2. Once dry, come back with a brush and alternate several colors of wood ,both on the inside and the outside.
3. Cover with home made brown wash (you do not want to use pricey hobby miniature washes on terrain).
4. Drybrush lightly with lighter gray or burlap color to unify the wood.
5. Apply fine dark green flock to some areas of the wall using PVA glue (optional).
6. Diversify the moss applied above with stippling yellowish or light green paint over it.

For the thatch roof (not the best thatch effect but it works for me)

1. Prime dark brown camo (with the rest of the house).
2. Drybrush honey brown
3. Wash with home made brown wash.
4. Drybrush yellow and grey

Finally the stone house was added, to give some diversity and provide an impression of different social standing s in the village.

Name: Crow Cottage

Painting was achieved as a combination of the three techniques represented above (stone wall, wood and thatch roof), with the addition of shingles:

1. Primed black like the rests of the house.
2. Dry brush dark grey
3. Dry brush blue light grey
4. Apply wash all over with home made brown wash
5. Apply sparingly green wash (I used GW Camo wash as it was available)
6. Apply fine dark green flock to some areas of the wall using PVA glue (optional).
