Title: LOST IN A FOREST - Part 2: How to Build Wood Elf Waystones

Welcome to part two of Lost in a Forest. The first part of this series showed you how to build characterful, individual trees. In the second and final part of this series, we'll show you how to make a few scenic pieces that are obviously Elf-craft. Mark Jones illustrated how to build a Wood Elf waystone (shown right) from scratch in his article in White Dwarf 308. We decided to follow his instructions (which are provided on the next few pages) and produced two variant waystones – one shattered Wood Elf marker and another that's been desecrated by Orcs (both shown below). Click any of these images to see larger versions.

Once you mastered Mark's instructions for making a waystone, try your own hand at making variants like those shown below.
