Good work on the terrain pieces. I like the round tank-like one with the mesh.
Good work on the marines too.

I'd personally go for the tech-ish rebreather head - but I'd certainly use the other one on a different Minotaur.

I love the color choice I actually picked up some fine sand from the dollar store this morning which is about the same color. I've started looking in the dollar shop floral sections (and tchotchkes like sand and sea shells) for basing materials.

Thanks guys, yep only 1.5 hours so far! I spent another 20 minutes today with just black acrylic and water adding some depth to some parts, only a drybrush of light sand again and some water effects in areas just for fun even if it makes no geological sense! :-) I added a small pipe for just that eventuality.
hopefully it'll work as a board for everything I want, 40K. cityfight, Necromunda Automatically Appended Next Post:

Thanks guys, yep a pretty fast turnaround so far! I got inspired by working on the Armies on Parade boards, I thought 'hell, I can make my own just as easily' and I did :-) it'll look great with yellowish buildings on it. I'll probably finish it with some very basic work over the next few days and then I'll start on the terrain buildings and some scatter terrain while i'm finishing up the two rhinos and the landraider I started the other day.

Heh, love the peek a boo marine on the left vehicle, I'm liking how they are looking thus far, cool weathering technique on the bigger panels.
Also, as someone whose main army is based on red planet, I really like that game board you have made... seems pretty simple, yet looks great.
Nice work

Awww thanks guys i'm pretty pleased with the board myself! and if I even want to change it up it just needs a new paint job! plenty of scope for fun times ahead. The Mino vehicles are a funny thing, they look pretty ordinary and a bit too beaten in places but I started on the reds today and after the first 3 successive highlights it looks completely different now just that one higher quality spot colour and it's pop-o-rama
I'll show you guys soon but I had to nip off to work today
also in the pipeline is 3 little Admech style characters for RiTides and we've been talking about some more Dropfleet models but more ground assault this time which will be great fun to paint, i'll let him chime in on whats coming when he gets here.....

I'd think so. I mean you can always do an auxiliary detachment. Even with a patrol detachment you'd only need one troop (could be 5 dire avengers) & one HQ... then you'd get 3 of each slot. If you're going to have 3 tanks or 3 units of banshees... add an HQ to each and you've got legal formations that actually get you 1 CP each.
