I got some little N Gauge tombstones for a graveyard but they're tiny and you don't get much for your money. Going to try a different make and see if I can get something a bit more substantial looking for a spooky graveyard.

Painted up my Hovels ruined church!

Warmaster: Hovels Bridges
I've been looking for the right kind of bridges to use in Warmaster for a while now.
Forge World used to sell quite large ones but they haven't been available for many years now.
Warmaster is an abstract game where a unit represents dozens or hundreds of warriors, so bridges are meant to only accomodate the smaller end of the base (20mm), not the facing that most infantry use (40mm). This represents the difficulty in maintaining cohesion marching a lot of men and beasts across a medieval crossing point.
Eventually I found the Hovels bridges, which were the right width and length, without any restricting earth or river parts attached which would demand you buy a river system to match.
A judicious application of drybrushing and now they're ready for use making up the battlefield!

Warmaster: Elven Obelisks
Some scenery or objective markers for Warmaster!
Unfortunately these were never widely available and the caster has moved on to other things, although I believe the 3D prints are available on Shapeways.
I've had these sitting about for a year or so. I dug up my bridges to paint and thought I might as well finish these for a quick hit of the "I finished something!" feeling which encourages us all to keep painting and modelling.

Warmaster: Scenery & Terrain
Here I have some terrain for the excellent but now sadly defunct GW game "Warmaster". Some resin rocks from eBay that were absolutely ridden with holes and took a long time to fix up.
And in addition, two lots of stone walls from http://www.totalbattleminiatures.com/ which are metal, not resin. Metal chips easily so I gave them a triple coat of matt varnish, put steel paper on the bases and lashings of green static grass around the edges to give them some protection. Warmaster is 10mm scale so these could represent a literal, small stone wall or the defences at the edge of a large town in a more abstract sense.
