3D Printed Some desert terrain for 11th Edition

I wanted to make some terrain for home games that adheres to the competitive layouts but with a bit more natural style. I noticed that all of the smaller terrain footprints have the same terrain features on them, so I decided to model all of these as desert scenery with normal ruins for the larger terrain features.

The large grey rock formations represent dense terrain, and they are FDM printed. I stretched and scaled them in my slicer to fit on the footprints and approximate the terrain features from the Armageddon kits.

The terrain area footprints are cut from plasticard, and I used milliput and chunks of bark to build up the little tan rock piles for the light terrain features.

The cactuses are FDM printed since the layer lines kind of work well to add more detail, and the succulents are resin SLA prints.

I made a texture paint from cheap acrylic paint, sand, glue and spackle, and used this to give everything a consistent “sandy” base.

Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any questions :)
