Warmaster: Plastic Gravestones
« on: February 24, 2016, 11:46:57 PM »
I have been looking for "Garden of Morr" type scenery for a while now off and on suitable for Warmaster.  There's much more choice in terms of churchs and ruins in 15mm, thanks to WW2 systems like Flames of War.

However, when I looked around for N-Gauge railway stuff, I found some greater options opening to me.  I've bought a couple of white metal packets, but it's £4 for only a handful of very thin, very small headstones.

Then I found that a company called "Dornaplas" makes them in a little plastic sprue!

I put a Dark Rider strip next to one so you can see the scale of them. 

I'm planning on using them on Vampire command stands and in little strips of vignette pieces to make up a graveyard next to my ruined church.

so nice. N scale come from german word neun (nine) because is 9mm, so the gravestones will suit perfectly

Just realised the great UK store Antenocitis stock them:

I know that N scale stuff has been discussed before, but sometimes when you're looking on a website you can never tell how it'll look next to a Warmaster figure. =)

Nice- though surely it can't be too hard to make them from plasticard?

The crosses are a pain, not really suitable for the Warmaster setting- but maybe you could cut down the top and expand the wings, to make it more hammer-like?

Heh, well I was waiting for my Vampire Counts to arrive before I started modelling with them - and I think it'll be a couple of weeks before they do.

And yes, I could make some from plasticard, I wanted quite consistent looking ones that I could just stick into green stuff or stick to the base, though. =-P

They've got a nice shape to them as well that I would find hard to keep consistent in plasticard.
