What a load of rubbish!

Debris of War do an interesting range of 28mm urban debris.
At Colours I bought a number of packs including piles of black bin bags. They also do a pack of bin bags, wheelie bins and a three piece suite.

The question then was, how to base them.

Traditional round bases would be fine if they were in the middle of an alley, but traditionally they are piled up against a wall.

So I took one 30mm and one 40mm Renedra bases and positioned the block of bags so that they left a part of the base clear. I then used a razor saw to cut part of the base away.


After smoothing off the edges, I glued the piles of bin bags to the bases. I added some Woodland Scenics fine ballast around the edges to get them to fit in.

They were then sprayed with Citadel Chaos Black. The ground cover was painted with Vallejo Burnt Umber.

The bags were dry brushed with Army Painter black mixed with increasing amounts of Citadel Mechanicum Grey and Army Painter Stone Golem. The rubbish was picked out with spots of various paints.

The whole thing was then washed with Citadel Nuln Oil.

The flat edge means they can be pushed up against a wall
Which is great for filling alleyways with  cover and obstacles.
