Eldar Terrain エルダー情景モデル
by David on 2013-01-14 (Mon) 13:39PMOver the winter vacation I'd been working on assembling 4 pieces of Eldar themed terrain (see the assembly review here), which came as several sheets of flatpack MDF board. In the photo below you can see the "Iridium Modulators" terrain straight out of the packet. I had spent a while cutting, gluing and sanding the pieces, and now it was time to paint....
冬休みに木材ボードのエルダーらしい情景モデルをだんだん作っていました。作成にリポートはこちら。やっと作成ができたので、ペイントが始まります。。。

Undercoat アンダーコート:
I was envisioning this terrain being part of a settlement on an Eldar maiden world perhaps, with these beautifully organic structures soaring up out of the jungle canopy. As luck would have it, our club already has a good set of jungle foliage, so I was hoping they would work together well. Eldar buildings are made from a psychically-reactive material called wraithbone, which can be 'sung' into the desired shape by skilled artisans. The material is generally painted in creamy whites and bone hues, so I thought I could quickly get undercoats and base colours done almost together with aerosol sprays.
I found a cream/light-bone coloured matt spray in the local DIY store, and carefully covered each terrain piece with two generous coats from every angle. I then used a second matt spray, this time plain white, to spray lightly from various high angles. I sprayed from quite a height too, so by the time the paint hit the model it had dispersed enought not to give a uniform finish - instead it produced a nice, subtly-speckled pattern in places, rather like an eggshell. The photo below is of the model after this double spray stage, but the camera is too low-quality to pick up on the slightly darker bone-coloured tones properly! :(
エルダーの建物は「レイスボーン」で作られています。クリーム色か白でペイントされているモデルをよく見ますので、僕も同じ色にしたかったんです。ジャングルの中にエルダーのクリーム色の建物が合うかなと思っていました。近くのナフコ店から買ったつや消しのクリーム色スプレーでアンダーコートをしました。その上につや消しの白ペイントで高い所からスプレーを軽くしました。モデルの深い所にはまだクリーム色はちょっと残っていましたので、ステップ1は成功でした。ただし、下の写真には全然見えませんよね?!あぁ、残念。
Shading ウォッシュ
Although I liked how the subtle two-tone spray came out, it was still too light. So the next stage was to add a fine line of Gryphonne Sepia wash to every crevice and corner of the model. However the tonal difference between the cream/white and faint sepia lines was too distinct, so I thought of using a very light stippling of Forgeworld's Light Earth weathering powder. This powder was stippled on completely dry (much like makeup blusher, I think?), and carefully blended into the white. The photo below shows the model after this stage, but again my phone camera doesn't really show the effect properly.
次のステップにはGW製の「グリフォン・セピア」ウォッシュを細いブラッシュで凹のところに線を描きました。白いペイントとセピア色の線をブレンドする為にフォージワールド社の「ライト・アース」パウダーを使いました。水使わずにパウダーをメークのようにセピア線の回りにブラッシしました。
Finished photos 完成の情景モデル写真:
I applied a final spray of clear matt coat over the top, to seal in the weathering powder and protect the paint, and then the models were finished!
最後に「つや消し・クリア」で情景モデルをスプレーしました。これでパウダーとペイントを完全に守ります。
So this is the first of the Eldar terrain pieces, which I think makes a convincing webway portal or teleport pad? Or maybe just a nice stage for their pansy theatrical plays?! I was particularly pleased with the way the light earth powder around the beans (on the top vane) came out. It smoothly gave some much-needed definition to the shapes and forms of the pieces.
いかがでしょうか?これはテレポートか劇(?!)でも利用できると思います。パウダーの結果はモデルの高い所にある豆の回りによく見えます。経験はなかったですが、やはりパウダーがたまに役に立つよね。
Next up is a line of 4 odd structures, which I intend to use as a sonic barrier to keep the planet's more dangerous wildlife out of the Eldar settlement. Oddly enough, in the first game I played using this terrain, the objective I placed next to one turned out to be a "Grav Wave Generator", which slows models down as they charge through the area - very fitting, I thought! On the flat central surface of each model I glued three acrylic gem pushpins, which I found in the local 100 yen shop. They add a nice touch of colour to the pieces.
以下の4つの情景モデルを「音波のフェンス」で利用します。正面の所に100円ショップで買った押しピンをつけました。宝石のようになっていますので、確かにエルダーらしくて不思議なイメージが出ます。
And finally, here are the last two terrain kits - a long walkway and a large tower building. The two models are cleverly designed to join together if required, to create one large piece. I only glued a couple of walkway segments together (just enough to stop it falling over), so that I have 2 bridge parts and 2 step parts, and these can all be arranged in various configurations from game to game. As a happy coincidence, the span on each bridge part is just enough to cross the river terrain model.
最後の2個の情景モデルを組み合わせて、大きいな塔を作れます。左側にある橋は右側にある塔につけることができますので、毎回違うアレンジで配置できますので、とても便利な情景モデルだと思います。そして、川を渡る橋がぴったりのサイズになっていますので、ラッキー!
Eldar Jungle Settlement Board エルダー町のジャングルボード:
Here is the completed board, combining our existing jungle foliage, GW modular hills, and river with these 4 new terrain pieces. A really unique board, I think, and very atmospheric to play across. In our first game we kept joking about the Eldar being mad that the invading Ultramarines weren't wiping their feet as they were stomping across the pristine white bridges.
完全のボードです。GW製の丘と100円ショップとペットショップで購入されたジャングル植物と混ぜたら、ボードがカッコよくなりますね!
All in all, I think it's a superb series of Eldar-styled terrain kits, and I will definitely be buying more new offerings from Miniature Scenery in the future!
素敵な情景モデルのキットだと思っていますので、新しいキットが出れば絶対買うと思います!おめでとう、メーカーのミニチュア・シナリーさんたち!

Very nice eldar board. I painted the same terrain kits. I added some black runes to have a contrasting color. I used a spray like screaming skull and white for the highlights. I bought other eldar scenery to add some variety.
