First of thanks guys for the flattering words. And thank you Solar Shock for making me laugh my ass off and the great tip on the Oyumaru modeling clay. This would save me allot of cash indeed! Already ordered a couple packs of the stuff.

New small update:

Couldn't help my self to finish the basic paint of the other Tomb cave mountain ornaments. So here are some photo's of them.

























Hope you like it and as always C&C are more than welcome.

Awesome stuff!

Fantastic.

Beautiful and inspiring work!!!!

Holy cow this stuff is just amazing and so well thought out and executed!

This is amazing stuff

This is a ridiculously epic build! How much do you charge for something this scale?!

Beautiful, detail-packed, build.

The "hidden" scenes add a great extra touch to it, too.

Following.

Wow thanks for all the nice words you guys! (It's really motivating to here you all like my work.)

@Gohkm: Oh thats a though question to answer:

Normally I would ask for around the 300 euro per board which would have no real complex work on it or electric components, just a modest landscape with some natural features. And a board is 125cm by 60cm (Roughly 4 by 2 foot). But it really depends on how complex, detailed and finished the client wants the build to be... It's mostly hand craft work so it's quite time consuming and I'm doing this in my spare time more or less as a overgrown hobby. The board i'm working on currently has € 434,75 worth of materials when its done. And I already spend over the 250 hours work on it with still some what of a 100 to 150 hours to go (and that would be part 1 of 3). But the more work I have to spend on a single project the cheaper my hourly rate will be of course. I estimate this entire project will probably cost around the 4K in euros (where 750 euros will be material cost and the rest will be payment for around the 1000 hours of labor). So yeah.. there you have it.

For the weekend update you guys have to wait a couple more days because I want to finish the diorama's first and post the entire proces pictures from begin to the end as a single post. It will be an nice update I can ensure you that. Because I've experimented with different lava / fiery forge elements and found a really good way to do the lava thingy.

So please excuse me for letting you guys wait a bit longer! And I hope to finish them soon so I can share my findings with you guys.

I don't care for Space Wolves in the slightest and I'm checking this thread regularly.

WOW... VERY nice work...

Incredible. I'll be watching this!

Oh my god... Fantastic!!

Wow this is amazing can't wait to see the end result.

Incredible work. Can't wait to see more!

I need some more time to finish the subterranean diorama's but here's a WIP sneak peek on my magma / lava fountain with a home made green stuff wolf head and lightning. Camera on my mobile doesn't really catch the real dark reddish light it really is, but it still gives a nice impression what is about to come after next weekend. Enjoy

Would love to play a game on this board some day, looks EPIC!

Oh my balls................this is so gorgeous. I hope to be able to do this one day.

Absolutely great job! You definitely have an amazing imagination and skill set that I would love to have myself.

Absolutely great work so far! You have an amazing skill set and imagination that I wish I had. Keep us posted and I hope to see more work from you in the future!

The amount of ability displayed during this project upsets me for some reason....

Every time you post new stuff the level of awesome outdoes the previous posts! Seriously, this is just disgustingly awesome. I've never seen a better Space Wolves themed board except from the GW studio itself when Space Wolves were updated in '09 or so. And they didn't even have all the cool light effects. This may be the coolest board I have ever seen.

You thought about making a crashed space wolf flyer or tank to put as a bridge, just a idea that popped into my head, paint the inside and leave doors open. It would look epic, in my opinion. If its going to be used for games other than 40k leave it interchangeable with like a bridge made out of ice.

Thank all you guys for all the nice words!

@gardeth: Will it make you feel any better if I where to decrease the level of craftmanship dramatically and show you the worst figure i've ever done?

@StormBringer328: wow thanks dude! That is about the nicest complement I have ever had! Really don't know what to say man.. i'm feeling humbled to the bone. Makes me want to push my self even further in getting better in all trades and making the most awesomest battle board ever created. Just thank you so much!

@e.earnshaw: wow dude that just surpasses my original idea of a stone bridge tower with a broken and a whole bridge setup, that is removable due to build in magnets. To make things more interesting I could also let the river run through/under the plane (that would have my preference) with vegitation overgrowing the hull and cabine. So they can use the top of the plane + wing to cross. Parts could be placed also down river to simulate a partially flushed rubbish... My imagine is overflowing with ideas right now! Special thanks to you my friend!

Can't wait to finish the subterranean diorama's and overload you guys with awesome pictures of all the nice details!

Cheers!

This is really great inspiring stuff. I'm also generally more interested terrain building than painting units, but I've been on the cusp of moving across an ocean for a while and don't want to create stuff I don't have space for. Looking at this at least allows me to live vicariously through your creations. Can't wait till the next update!

Holy gak this is amazing!

At the start I saw you said that the client wanted objectives. here's a couple of ideas.

1) a techpriest harvesting helfrost crystals, have him trying to cut though one with a welder or plasma on his servo-harness. Servitors helping him carrying them off to be loaded into the back of a rhino or chimera. One of the servitors inside a crystal he got frozen!

2)convert a tryrnid ravenor or tyrgon into a Fenrisan beast and have a lone wolf trying to kill it.

3) have a wolf priest dragging off a native Fenrisen to be loaded into a land speeder taken to the fang and turned into a space wolf. Fenrisen made of a fantasy chaos marauder.

Stunning project dude! This table looks great already!
Also great paintjob, can't wait to see this whole thing painted!
Keep up the great work

That is simply stunning! Can´t wait to see the rest / other projects.

Great project, can't wait to see the finished piece.

Hi guys.

First off, thanks agian for all the nice c&c!

@e.earnshaw: I already had 5 automated turret objectives. But I liked your cristal objective so much I've ordered a blue cristal right away.

Furter more I've really worked hard on the diorama's and done so much work. The clay coverage has to dry for 2 days before I can finally finish the paining on the diorama's.

Here are some sneakpeak detail photo's, because I couldn't post a comment here empty handed. Enjoy and in a few days I will post you guys the full update with all the nice pictures and details.
