I have to admit I got the idea of using glitter from some fabulous treasure tokens made by another local Frostgrave player - his looked way better though - I think it maybe partly due to the fact that he probably used better quality glitter - I used some cheap junk from the dollar store and the "gold" has a bit of a greenish hue to it...
Overall I'd say the experiment was successful. I think I'll try and source some better quality glitter and try making a few more.

Can you please expand on how you did the glitter?
ReplyDeleteSure - I made a mound our of greenstuff on the base (a washer) and embedded the swords and such in that, primed teh whole mess, painted it, added sand and painted that as I do on bases. Then I simply spread some white carpenters glue on the mound and covered it with glitter, then shook the excess off. Afterwards I covered it with a dull coat as I felt the glitter was a bit TOO shiny.
DeleteThanks, from the photo it's hard to tell if the glitter is on the surface or inside something like water medium.
DeleteI was going to make something similar from bits and pieces from Stonehaven kickstarters but then the mate I play with dug out all these old Citadel treasure markers from his lead horde.
