    Hello!

    I'm new to this forum, so Hi! I've been playing 40k/Fantasy in some form for about 20 years, so i'm very familiar with the hobby. Currently for WFB, I have a dwarf and ogre army, but I'm starting Lizardmen slowly. I'm also working on a diorama, so I have an important question for you experts!

    Where can I find good links and products to make Lustrian Scenery? Ferns, plants, trees, etc. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    First off, hi and hello!

    I'm not an expert, im an idiot with a lot of pets and very little money, but, I can help you a bit with the basic scenery!

    Step 1: Acquire some hard foam, and cut it to shape, use a marker pen or draw the design and attack it with a hacksaw, it dosent have to be smooth or pretty!

    Step 2: mix different grades of sand and clippings together in a pot, paint the foam with a good helping of PVA glue, put the foam on a tray and poor the sand mix on. Let it dry for a while and gently shake the excess off.

    Step 3: find your nearest reptile or aquatics store, the plastic plants there are perfect to cut up and jam into the foam with a dollop of super glue, arrange as you see fit, let it dry and then you can spray it and paint it!

    I know its basic but it works!

    Ignore the half of a riptide about to stomp a skink into oblivion and check this base out, I will try and get better pics later

    I made that by super gluing gravel and pebbles i found to the base, then spreading sand over it. When it set i sprayed it black and dry brushed various greys over it till happy! The moss is simply PVA glued to the pebbles after!
