Hi, I'm looking for advises and opinions on my project. I just came back into the hobby and saw this new way of playing: Zone Mortalis. In a fever of modeling I started to build one for my eldar army.
It's an Iyanden themed army and their bases are all showing the struggle they faced against the tyranid. As you can see in the photos.
I'm almost done with the Zone Mortalis Frame. It's time for me to focus more on the details.
I'm still not sure on how I'm going to proceed. It's why I'm trying to crowdfund ideas here.
In my mind there's two way of proceeding:
1. I corrupt the terrain with a lot of tyranid eggs, spore etc... Like I know how.
It presents a lot of advantages. I know how to do it. Brings a lot of atmosphere and details with ease.
However for roleplaying/campaign purposes maybe not the best choice as it narrow the stories available on the board.
2. I don't corrupt it. However I'm not sure on how to proceed if I do so. Gems are a good way of bringing ligth and details and I would use some on the corrupted version too. But after that.... .
Most eldar Terrain that I saw did'nt have much contrast nor details. They used vegetation to compensate the lack of it. I could put some in the gap that I left between the walls and the platforms.
But If I do should I put some climbing plants? "real" Trees? Alien plants?
I'm also pondering the addition of a synapse system in some form to represent the "electric system". However I'm not sure on how to proceed. Maybe using the wire tree technique:

I could also cut some cardboard and add details on the ground.
So basically If you have any advice or idea for this project I would very much appreciate. Pictures of detailed eldar ,non laser cut, terrain would be appreciate
Tyranid base for an idea of what I can do.
