Loving the style of these minis. The horse is superb. Well done Buttery. I love your backdrop by the way, where did you get it from

Buttery hit the slaaneshi tones and colors alright!

I just googled "Sunset gradient" and printed it out on an old laser printer.
I then taped it to a book and used two lighting sources. I'm not fancy.

It doesn't look "not fancy"

That's two different photography degrees in action... just about making pictures of a small horse look cool.

I shared it on a 40K group and got absolutely 0 responses. I can only assume they thought I'd got the wrong group.

Which group?

Let me see, how to make a miniature horse look cool on a web site that focuses on wargaming.
Obviously many people did not have their priorities straight!

Working on my parade board. Woof. Many things to go!

Layout with trees marked.

Nice layout. What texture/colors/scheme/bases do you have planned for it?

It's going to be very simple. A road between two areas of forest, in early winter.
Snow, grass, ferns.. Some trees will have foliage, some won't.

That's looking fantastic buttery! Looking forward to seeing how it progresses

Come and see it in person in October!
I stupidly entered it at WHW because I didn't know it was a competition.

Its looking nice

And never know, you may win

Nice work BC - looking forward to seeing the result (not at WHW as am 50000000000000000-ish miles away :/ )

Looks like a great board, especially having the troops advancing down the road in a column

Sounds like a plan. I can check it out and return those marines

*Aussie accent.*

That's gonna be right nice right there.

Looks cool! I love seeing big terrain bits coming together like that. I think I live vicariously through people who can make that happen.

Layout for the display board is looking good. Really nice work shaping the terrain.

EDC

Thanks so much guys! I do wake up some days and wonder wtf I'm doing.
The filler and tools came today, so now it's just taking all the figures back off it!

Well, I got somewhere.

So it's more evident what's going on here: buried road.

Hey BC. Sorry for not stopping in for a while. Life was just a bit, well, you know. Hope you're doing good.

Your AoP board is looking very cool and I am very jealous. If I ever get enough minis for one army painted I would love to enter. Just can't see it happening is the problem

No worries man, I had a minor breakdown last week, so I do appreciate folk not always being around and on their best game.

An AoP board does not HAVE to be 24", that is the maximum size.
So you could always make a smaller one.

That board is shaping up nicely! I`m very jealous of your arts and crafts skills.

Hey - sorry you had a breakdown. Sometimes life is absolute gak.

That board looks wonderful already, you doubt yourself too much.

Looking good BC, you'll put the Whw staff in their place with that

I hope you are not putting too much pressure on yourself to get this done.
It looks great and got me thinking just my normal gaming terrain needs more attention than the coat of primer I left it at.
Sorry about the breakdown, been through a few in my past so I can sympathize: do what you need to do, we are not going anywhere.

Thanks so much all, it wasn't to do with painting..

Long story short, a nine year relationship ended, I started asking people to call me Benny in all aspects of life, and quite a lot of stress and grief was compacted atop having very little support in place.
Something broke, but thankfully I had the sense to see my GP before it did, so I'm off work and healing.

I got a lot further with the board, I just need to finish the army!

Main issue is having no real central character figures. It's not like space marines, everywhere it's just humans.
