Making Spiked Barricades for a Rohan Gaming Table

In this article I will explain to you how I made and painted my Rohan Spiked Barricades.

What you need:
Foam about1.5cm thick
Tooth Picks
Foam Core
Polly Filla
BBQ Skewers
Wood Glue
Sand
Sand Paper
Static Grass

Paints Used:
Chaos Black
Scorched Brown
Bestial Brown
Bronzed Flesh
Bleached Bone
Fortress Grey
Snakebite Leather

Using the Foam Core cut a rectangle that measures 17cm by 7 cm. Cut another rectangle this time using the Foam, with a length of 17cm by 2cm and glue it 0.5cm off the front of the first rectangle you cut.

Round off the front and back using the Sand Paper and try and blend the two together.

Cut a rectangle out of the Foam Core measuring 17cm by 3cm and glue that behind the piece of Foam. Now take your BBQ Skewers and cut 23 pieces at the length of 4.5cm and sharpen the tips on them. Cut another 20 with the length of 2cm, but don?t sharpen the tips on these ones. Once they have been cut super glue them together on the board in rows of 5 until you reach the end, which I only needed 3.

Sharpen up the tips of the Tooth Picks if they need it. But if not just glue them in the front of the Foam like what I have done in the picture below.

Take your Polly Filla and apply it in the gaps and add texture to the piece of scenery.
Once that is dried make a 50/50 mix of Wood Glue and Sand and apply it to the ground parts.

Undercoat the model in watered down Chaos Black

The ground was painted Scorched Brown, then dry brushed with Snakebite Leather, a 50/50 mix of Snakebite Leather and Fortress Grey was dry brushed on top of the ground. A final dry brush of Fortress Grey was given to the piece.

The spikes were painted Scorched Brown, a second dry brush of Bestial Brown was given and then a final dry brush of Bronzed Flesh to the spikes. The tips of the spikes were given a heavy dry brush of Bleached Bone. When dry brushing the spikes that are standing up try to leave the Chaos Black in the gaps.

The footpath was dry brushed Scorched Brown, then dry brushed Bestial Brown, a final dry brush of Bronzed flesh was given.

Apply random bites of Static Grass to where you feel suitable

I hope you enjoyed reading my article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Any model that attempts to jump the barricade and rolls a 1 in the jump test takes a Strength 5 hit.
