Hi all,

This thread is to show some of the progress I am making with regards to my gaming board project and a new 1850 point Bad Moon list I am working on.

I am not a particularly great painter, not bad but far from the standard of many amazing painters on this site. Any tips are warmly welcomed. I will also post the army list I plan to use in the army list section.

So, here goes......

The gaming board will be 8ft x 4ft. The other panels will be the standard GW ones. I will post more pics of the orks and the board as they both progress.

The Meganobz have now had their oil wash and clear up, typing this out as they are drying. Next up is a matt vanish then start adding the metallics.

Thanks Vine, they are basically small strips of wood with a small metal mesh behind it. I wanted to give the impression that the orks got kinda bored fixing it so stuck that over it and thought "that'll do"

More pics of the rest of the army coming soon, all designed from marine stuff.

Is there really no way to rotate the image before upload?

looking nifty so far.

Quick update on progress of gaming board, the sand has been added to he 6 GW realm of battle panels. They were first given an undercoat with white spray paint. Then a first coat of paint, we use a sulus paint watered down to do this.

Next stage will be a dark 'wash' then once dry it will be drybrushed with a lighter colour to pick up texture. Then it's just a matter of adding grass and weathering on the skulls etc... Hopefully fully completed soon.

Please note, the boards in the pictures will not be set out like that, we're just placed randomly while they are drying.

Oh

Thanks mate, those bases were the ones they came with being the old style Meganobz. Once the squad is finished I may well swap them on to them. Means I will be able to do more with the base too.

Somewhere in south-central England.

Have you made a wooden frame for the edge of the board? I've read the clips provided by GW don't work very well.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Hi mate, yes I did. Basically I bought an 8ft-4ft piece of 18mm MDF. Got the shop to cut it in to 3 pieces for me for ease of transporting it home. Also bought several metres of thinner wood about 1.5 inches wide for the barrier around the edge of the MDF.

Then it was just a matter of nailing the thinner wood all around the MDF which gives a really nice platform for the gaming board to sit on. It also stops the dice rolling off.

To make storage easy we have hinged the pieces of MDF together so that they will effectively fold away. Although now not needed as the board is up permanently.

The next stage for the forgeworld panels is to add more foliage to them and to weather them. This is something we wanted to do with all the panels at the same time for ease of using materials etc... Will add more pics once this is done.

Lol, no mate. It's a panel that forgeworld do, I didn't buy a thunderhawk and then smash it up. Although that would be cool.
