Hints:
- You don't have to wait until the paints have fully dried. Just blend them together while they are still wet
- Thin the paint to build up smoother gradients.
- You can mix the pigments as well

1. Grab some coarse cork sheet of around 1cm thickness and build a stair like structure. Use some super glue to speed up the process.
2. Next up is milliput. I recommend using some gloves and a little bit of water to prevent it from being too sticky while mixing both parts together. Spread it all over the base, not too thick and not too thin. Don't worry about any cork shining through.
   Use some silicon tools and water if necessary. These can also be helpful in the next step.
3. Pick up some bark chips, these will serve as the stone slates. Place them unevenly above or beside each other, just as you like. But remember, nature isn't always even and varies a lot. Use some milliput if needed to fill some gaps or hold the bark chips in place.
4. Now we will add some earth texture to the base. Cover most of the base with it, except the bark chips. Try not to be too even. I used an old brush for the application.
5. Prime the base with any primer you prefer, I used Mechanicus Standard Grey
6. Paint the soil with AK Leather Brown until you have a solid coat.
7. Gradually mix in AK Cork, and apply it to the higher surfaces until you reach pure Cork. Use AK Burnt Umber for the shadows.
8. Wash the soil with Vallejo Dark Brown. An Oil wash with Bitume and Burnt Sienna is also great.
9. Once dry we want to add more variation to the surface by adding pigments. I used Soil Works Dark Earth (darker areas) and Natural Soil (raised areas) for this. Apply any pigment fixer of your liking. I used Vallejo Pigment Binder because of the matt finish. Apply only a few pigments after it has fully dried.
10. Time to paint the slate stones. I used wet blending for this to achieve smooth gradients and great results fast. Blend Skavenblight Dinge and Wraithbone together. Use thinned Nuln Oil on the back parts of the stones. Edge Highlights can be done using pure Wraithbone and by dry brushing with a very thin brush. Use an old brush for this.
11. Little excursion - Runestones: Basecoat them with Stormvermin Fur, which fits the overall color scheme quite well. Now start glazing or use the wet blending technique with Administratum Grey, Wraithbone and Fenrisian Grey to the top and highlight the "edges". Use Nuln Oil for the lower parts and the recesses.
12. The moss was added by applying thinned Athonian Camoshade. While still wet fine grinded moss was sprinkled on. Work partially and pick areas where miss would naturally grow. Once fully dried slightly brush over the moss with some Athonian Camoshade again.
13. Last but not least i added some tufts.
