Nice choice on the green. Really stands out from the flooring and other bits

Yah, I wanted to advoid a grey stone wall since, it felt like it would all just blend together to much. Still wasn't sure if green was the right choice for some time.

So appreciate the compliment!

Looks pretty awesome. Have you considered making some flat boards and free-standing walls to expand your choice of layouts?

I plan on makeing flat tiles for deployment zones, and areas for area terrian for some varriation. But i like the wall sections glued in place to prevent the pieces from shifting dureing a game. Im picking up non slip rubber mats from the hardware store to put on the table when i use these tiles.

I also realize as i start running out of my 1st 50lb bag of plaster, This table will be over 100lbs. A more rugged gameing table will need to be a investment...

How many tiles do you have after your first 50lb bag?

I can't help but think of Doom or Quake when seeing those tiles...

That's a good thing!

I got about 4 and a half tiles done so far, with about 15-20 lb of plaster left.

I will also post a pick of the miscast bin to give a idea were a good volume of plaster as ended up. I've gotten better at advoiding miscasts, but sometimes you just end up with a bad cast. You pick out what came out ok, and move on.



I always try to pick threw and use what I can from the miscasts when building, but their is only so much I can do. I hope to use alot of this as rubble for some scatter terrain.

Yes, rubble. I was going to suggest just that. That miscast bin looks like a gold mine to my ruin-crafting eyes.

So I've been swamped with writing some papers so haven't had much time to burn the hobby oil. But I've got some tid bits to tie things over untill i can start in proper. I've ordered alot of stuff during black friday and it's started comeing in. Alot of stocking up on bitz for future projects and some things for current projects.

For starters: Box #2



And my Blood Axes got some heavy support for Zone mortalis.


The khromlec meganobz are great! Here he are to a normal GW meganob I got 2nd hand. (not my paint job. Was going to strip the paint off these guys but never happened.



Also here is a Mini review on the MaxMini Necrotec power fists.



They look great, but they are IG sized. Wanted to use them for some CSM, but they are way to small. Maby I might use them for Chaos servitors or something.

I will be posting scale reference shots of alot of kits and stuff I've gotten, just for other people's reference. As a advid converted i know stuff like that is super important for me. So will be sharing what I've found for others.

been sick with the stomic flu. A small update for now:






Automatically Appended Next Post:



and my 1st two iron warrioirs. I've tweaked the colour sceme slightly since these guys.

Ok so the Iron Warrioirs are based and i'm realy happy with how they came out. These guys are for a HH era Iron warrioir force and repersent Iron warrioirs after the events of Angel Exterminatus, and the Iron warriors learned of the power of chaos. In this force i will be kitbashing in some CSM bits to help give that chaosy look to them, but they will be useing the HH rules.







Soon I will be rebaseing my orks in these style of bases. Look ace on boards like these!

here are some shots of what I've been doing lately. I hope this is going to be the last of these kinds of updates, and I will be able to get back on track with the zone mortalis board.

Shot of the 1st of my MK4 despoiler squad. Anvil Industry Revolvers will be on these guys.


a W.I.P. for my shotgun recon squad. Anvil head and shotgun, Victoria minatures shotgun bandolier. Future guys i will try and place the shell higher up on the bodies i now realize.




I'm going to be refurnishing this plastic deff dread. I got him for a tournment, put the 3 colours and based on, then forgot about it. will be awsome for the zone mortalis orks list.


and got the 1st of the meganobs from khromlech painted.

Im not sure if you posted where you got your acrylic bases, but where did you get them they look really nice.

I'll guess Litko.

Thanks bbb. That is a really great site.

I actually got mine advance deployment during black Friday. They had some crazy great prices. Got 200+ 25mm bases, with some 30mm and 60mm bases too.

Cool, I was not aware of them!

The 5th tile is comeing along.

Are you willing to make and sell the zone mortalis tiles to people?

How much?

This is in fact something i have thought of. Sadly their is a number of hurdles that means I would not be able to offer a attractive price.

Issue 1)Due to the amount of hour i put into each tile, i would have to charge alot for it to be worth my time. The hours of block casting and assembly that goes into each tile, bassicly a spend a whole day out of a weekend building just one tile. Not to mention recouping the cost of materials.

Issue 2) It would also be hard to make casts of the whole tiles in one go due to the amount of undercuts I've been putting into the tiles. The coast of materails to make a mould of that size would be crazy, not to mention I've not even invested in custom molds.

Issue3)To top it of these tiles are heavy. I would estimate 5-10 lbs each, once it's safely packed shipping would hurt... ALOT.

Issue 4) If i end up selling these in a large quantities or amounts i would need get a license from hirst arts to be able to sell my work. Thus driving the coasts up more.


If i was to do commistion work, I would rather do smaller terrain pieaces were I would be able to avoid these issues.

I hope that helped. If your interested in starting the same project, I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thanks to you, I'm going to take the plunge and build a 4ft x 4ft city fight board out of Hurst Arts. Won't be for a while, due to money issues, but I got that plan in my head now. Great inspiration, keep up the good work.

Can I get a list of which molds you are working with?

sorry fotr the long reply, by the #'s have rubbed off my moulds. I belive i posted the #'s earlier.

You did, I'm just blind.

Alrighty so here is a nice image dump for you guys.



My step up since some have asked:


It's such a mess! D=

And with my recent addtions to to my collection, I have started work on some fantsey/steampunk terrian due to wanting to start warmachie and have some more stuff for my brushfire games.
