Realm of Battle Board Tile 7

Hey all I have the next tile finished.
This is one of the standard vanilla tiles.
I added a touch of static grass for a spot of color
I bought four extra tiles to play with so I would also have a nicely painted standard set.

The board is coming along now I have all the standard tiles textured,primed and they are ready for drybrushing.
I could have my standard set ready in about an hour if I had to.
But there is no rush I have a giant underground complex to paint too ;)

Realms of Battle Board Tile 8

I finished tile 8 today,this one is a forest tile.
I used 3 GW tree sets and made a cast of a half to make the fallen trees.
I used a combo of Celuclay and Ultracal to level out the groundwork for the three bases of the trees.
Funny thing originally I was using natural deadwood for the fallen trees.
While I set outside to dry a bird thought one of the branches was perfect for his house.
When I came back a branch was gone and he left a depression down to the plastic.
Turning lemons into tasty lemonade I made the depression a large puddle using water effects and Catachan Green with a touch of Admin Grey.
I ended up casting a tree halves because when once dry the difference between textures of the natural deadwood and GW trees smacked you in the face.

I have one more spare tile to make a theme with but not sure what to do.

Realms of Battle Board Tile 9

This tile is an homage to the old starter set"The Battle for Macragge"
The crater in the corner will go along with tile 10 for a rolling thunder barrage crater set.
Poor Lt. Varvus does not think too highly of the Dark Angels hunt the Fallen rule

Realms of Battle Board Tile 10

Hey-oooo everybody,
So like I said I bought me a Realm of Battle board along with four expansion tiles.
So that give me a total of 10 tiles to finish.
I am using my expansion tiles for special 40k themed tiles.
The first is a Rolling Thunder barrage tile full of bomb craters dropped in series.

The next tile will also have a small crater on the edge so when I line up the two tile.
The barrage is going across the board.

The Finished FW Stronghold Board

I just wanted to show you guys what this bad boy looks like with a few layers of paint

I also replaced the lense on the security camera with a 3mm AK interacive optic lense
I have also started on the second tile.
Using a flat expansion tile and moonscape craters I have made a convincing barrage tile.

Tuesday Tutorial (Terrain Boards)

You ain't getting it every tuesady,but starting this week at least once a month,hopefull more I will post a tutorial of sorts.
Might be buying bargin supplies,a paint sceme,pretty much it will involve whatever I am working on at the moment.
Case in point last night I get home from work to find the Forge World Realm of Battle board on the stoop

So today it is time to prep it.
When I first looked at it my initial reaction is huh,detail in the ground work looks like it came from Russia but I am not worried.
The extra detail like the pillboxes and hanger were fine just the ground.
But I am reasonable sure it is meant to be flocked over and not used raw.
I bought fine and medium ballast at a model railroad shop along with a small bag of talus(small rocks) and add them all into the same container,this is the dirt mix.
I broke the board up into 6 imaginary sections and worked on one at a time to make sure the glue stayed fresh.
Starting at one corner I would lay some Original Tacky Glue onto where I want dirt.
I would dip the corner of the brush in water to help spread the glue and proceed to spread the glue out evenly.
Once spread cover the whole thing with a large pile of dirt mix and push lightly with your hand.
Tip the board over in a box cover to remove the excess.
Repeat this until the entire board is covered,use a damp paper towel to remove dirt from any detail that you do not want it on.

Then using Scenic Cement I liberally sprayed the enitre ground work being careful not to let it pool.
Once dryed for a couple of hours I resprayed it again.
Two layers of this with the primer layer will lock everthing down good and tight.
Be sure to flush the spray bottle immedately after spraying using warm soapy water or you will wreck the sprayer.

Now let this dry overnight before priming.

The Inquisition "The Retinue" Pt1

When it came to the Inquisitors Retinue I kind of got out of hand,they number over 50 now.
But to Kick them off my first batch of Assassin models.
I would like to do them all and maybe make a couple of unoffical ones that were in Nemesis.
