Showcase: Kill Zone Sector Fronteris + Ryza Pattern Ruins (with paint recipes)

Over the last two years, I gathered a quite sizeable terrain collection of classic Necromunda cardboard buildings and modern 40k plastic terrain kits. I never got around to taking proper group shots, but Garfy’s awesome Souldrain Forest board inspired me to present my scenery in the same style. So here is my take on Sector Fronteris with all my Ryza pattern ruins. Wondering how I painted their black and petrol paint scheme? Check out all my recipes after the jump.
