Water Terrain for the Battletech Alpha Strike
Included in this set are nine flat tiles to be used as lakes and ponds for the Battletech Alpha Strike rules. The tiles are 1.5mm thick, and easy to print. I suggest either printing them with blue filament, or painting them. My own steps for painting them have been:
- Undercoat white.
- Water down some white poster paint, some light blue poster paint and some dark blue poster paint.
- Quickly paint a white strip around the outside of the tile.
- Quickly paint the inside of the tile with light blue, overlaping with the white.
- Drip some of the dark blue paint into the middle of the tile.
- Spray some water onto the tile so the paints run and allow to dry.
- Once dry, coat with gloss sealant.
As this is done while the paint is all very wet, it should allow the paints to freely mix and create a nice effect.
