I need a bunker/pillbox for a #xenosrampant scenario so slapped some texture on a £3 wooden box from The Works and knocked this up in an hour or so using a sponge for the two shades of grey. Proper old school approach to making terrain.

The Alcat Rats Garrison Commander from DakkaDakka, over on MMF. Really neat little figure, and a chance to experiment with oils on something 'simple' which, naturally, got out of hand. She'll likely end up leading my Five Parsecs crew! #jhbackdrops

Had a little experiment with these AK Play Markers and can definitely see the appeal! This model painted with them except the red and pale sand and an Agrax wash Lots of uses I reckon for both casual and more experienced mini painters. The black one is good for rimming bases. #WarhammerCommunity
