Whether you're painting 3D prints or a handful of homemade terrain, the temptation is always to go all-out on painting the pieces that'll make up the background to your battles. Don't overthink it! With just a couple of drybrushes and some stippling, you can get plenty of texture and a fine-looking table worth of scenery painted within an afternoon.

The ruins in this video are available from Printable Scenery: printablescenery.com/product/modular-town-ruins I've got quite a few of their STL sets and always really like the results.

Thanks to Producer Patrons Alan, Kyrie, Andrew, Jimmy, Rod, Phil, Ben, Robison, David Kinney, Fred, Fool in a Hat, and Chris - as well as all the other Patrons that made this video possible, and Exit23 Games for recording equipment that helps keep the channel ticking over!
