A barren wasteland table my Dad and I built together:







These pictures were taken before we added some small patches of grass, and we also haven't finished the bridge yet. I've also built a few pieces of modular terrain to go along with it, rocks, wrecked vehicles, etc. but I haven't gotten around to painting them yet either.

Here are some sample photos of my table, it's a Zuzzy mat with lots of terrain to go with it (much of it custom made). I have different end cap sections that can change it up quite a bit.

I love the giant guns on that table!

Love those guns! True to 40k everything is done big!

Wow- looks awesome Tazok! Nice one!

Seeing all these awesome tables has inspired me to paint my citadel realm of battle board up. After some discussion within my gaming group, I've decided to go with a more desert looking table. I like the way a barren wasteland looks and I'm thinking of doing that.

Currently I have the following:
Brushes
Play Sand
Table
Elmers' glue bottle
Can of desert-like brown
Sealer
2 Chaos black primers
container of crackle paste

The problem I have is I'm not quite sure as to the best way to paint this. Normally, I glue the sand on my base, prime, and paint (base, wash, dry) and seal it up. However, on this mass scale I want to avoid any redundancies so I'm not quire sure on how to start.
I'm thinking of applying 3 to 1 glue/water all over. Put sand. Prime black, paint then seal. Or do I apply seal on the citadel board, apply crackle paste, glue, base, colour and then seal?

Any ideas would be welcomed.
