Hobby: Cheapass forests Mk II

I did a post a while back detailing how I made some quick, easy and, most importantly, functional forest terrain for 40k and/or Warmachine. I have since acquired more useful mats and refined the technique somewhat. Instructions follow...

First, get your cheapass rubber mats. This time I've opted for something brown. Also, get some cheap plastic foliage. We're gonna snip that up later.

Brown mats MYR 17.80, fake grass MYR 4.90. Bought from Kaison in Paradigm Mall. Cat is free, picked up off some grubby street somewhere. 

Second, as before, outline the shapes of the desired forests...


Snip, snip, snip...

Don't mind the missus. She's just passing through. 

Next, pull out some suitable forest-y spray paints and cut up the foliage into small patches...

Souseki prefers a colour that goes with his eyes. 

Ta-dah!


And with some models to show how it'll look...

Sarge is dead. Captain's dead. Over half the squad's dead. Forest wants to eat us. Just another sunny day in the Imperial Guard... 
Of course, one can always find or make some other model trees to get a more convincingly tall forest. So, that's it from me for now. Stay tuned, more projects await...
