Two updates tonight...
First is my Battle of Five Armies terrain piece:
I spent some time tonight working on the terrain hills. I painted them with a nice dark brown which will be a good base. I can honestly say that games workshop large brushes suck the big one. The cheap-o Ace Hardware brush is much nicer, so don't waste your money on GW's brush. One other comment I wanted to make now, something I didn't notice while using the primer... the hills don't really lay flat. They are kind of warped. it is more noticable now that I have them sitting on a flat table while getting their base coat of paint.
This makes me wonder about that large (and extremely expensive) gaming table that GW has out, it is essentially made of the same material, hooks together the same way, etc., and I for one would be super pissed if I spent the money on that and it didn't lay flat.
I am going to have to read up on Flocking a bit because I am rapidly approaching that stage of this project. Actually, the correct term is "Static Grass" because I am not using the flock... the Citadel Scenery Pack I got awhile back had Static Grass in it...
I haven't used it in years, so I think a little brushing up (no pun intended) would be a good idea before getting too deep into that part of the project.
The Second is my Warhammer Quest project. I've decided to completely redo the game from the ground up... new minis painted at a pro level, 3d terrain of each room (I haven't put too much effort into this yet, but probably through Hirst Arts), I'm going to redo all of the cards (like digitally remaster them, etc.)... and basically just create a "Deluxe" Warhammer Quest set.
I currently have scans of every book, every card, every expansion, every tile set, every white dwarf article, etc, etc. So I am set to go on this project! I am going to realistically estimate it will take me a good year to complete. So a year from now be on the looking for it. :)

I've been using the GW "scorched grass" on the bases of my Circle models. It’s the same stuff that you have pictured but just a different color. It works a bit different on than the traditional “shake on” flock (you put it on thicker). As far as the hill mine isn’t warped at all and neither is the one at Decks and Duels. My guess is they got unloaded on you because they were warped. I have my wife working on the base coat of my hill now (she has actually started digging around in the game room looking for stuff to paint).
