Okay, so the main idea is a chaos tzeench altar. I rarley work on it ,but finally I'm nearly done (Just need to Paint it). I planned on adding chained floating rocks, but that wouldn't look so good. I want it to be an objective of some sort for the ash waste terrain board I'm working on. I know it looks pretty plain, but I promise it'll look better after painting.

And with the sand on:


Close up to middle:


Please tell me if you like it.

Looks like a pretty cool piece so far May I ask what material have you used?

Polystyrene, just it isn't as strong as the normal one (which makes it easier to cut ,but it can easily break) and is white.

You should be able to get it in a hardware store.

Looking good. Will be better with some paint on it!

I'm finally done!

If you have any questions how I did something from this altar just post them below. Here it is:







I also added a smiley face for the lulz :

I like it. I like the OSL you did. Have you done it before?

Idea stolen.

Nice one, and just like malfred, I am stealing this idea.... thanks dude ^^

Very nice piece of terrain

That is wonderful.Is the smokey stuff cotton fiber?

... and what is OSL, if you don't mind? I'm new

OSL is "object source lighting" a common painting technique for canvas artists that was carried over into miniature painting. What you do is first find a base point of light, here the blue. From there you progressively lighten that color and paint almost rings around the initial color to achieve the look that the peice is illuminating light. each ring is to be lighter than the previous one and blended together to make a very smooth transition.

ahha!

Source lighting I know, I was just unfamiliar with the initials. Thanks.
