Commission Display Board 2014

Bretonnian Display Board

 

This display board is built for a large bretonnian army locally in central Illinois.  The board itself is made of 4'' of polystyrene and a 1/4'' plywood base.  The outside edges are pine board with nails, screws, and glue holding them in so that it can take a beating.  The Backdrop tower is made from casted train brick, GW tower pieces, polystyrene core, and wood liner.  Step by step construction is below. 

 

 

Wood glue is used in each step of construction, overnight drying and weights are used at every step.

Mounted on a 24''x24''x4'' sized display board the display is designed to house up to 5 larger knight units for 3,000 points.  The center recessed corner will house the castle section.  Made up of 3.5'' deep 5'' tall castle segments.  The back corner will be home to a GW tower overlooking the castle sections.  A moat is then cut into the castle section.  As of now the Castle sections are being glued onto a removable wood sheet for easier transportation.

The cobblestone is cut from Zuzzy.com

Water is melted from hobbylobby to a little under boiling and then poored in over the river.  Remember that polystyrene melts so have layers of plaster over the polystyrene.

This is my typical grey stone and wooden paint scheme

The edging is from hobbylobby, tacked together, and predrilled screws along with glue.

two small huts are added on the castle innerwall

The water is painted dark blue and then clear water is heated and added.

The water is then painted with a little white on top where it rushes past rocks

Tomb King Army Project

army picture

Well here it is, as promised some army pictures of the Tomb Kings at their current owners residence.  Painted the army mainly with old GW colors purple, turquoise and White.  Washes were newer washes such as devlon mudd, badab black, purple/blue wash, and then a reapplication of the base colors.  Additional highlights were put on characters.  Basing is done with basic sand to try and keep all colors together and with the desert theme.  Post Comments, thanks.

 Painted a Casket, 4 characters, 6 Necro Knights, 2 Skull catapults, 10 Skeleton Horse Archers, 1 Character on Skeletal Steed, the tomb scorpions I did not paint, 25 skeleton archers, 4 carions, and the heirotitan was previously painted last year.

Casket

Not imaged but painted are 6 chariots, 25-30 Tomb Guard, and a few more characters.

Skeleton Archers and Archer Cavalry

Carrions

Necro Knights

6-8 Ushabti have been requested so I can only assume this project is not completed, this army as of now can easily reach 2,500-3,000 pts with characters, unit upgrades, and magic items.

HeroTitan Conversion.

So I got to do another commission but this time its an assembly from bits and paint job. It is a herotitan made out of sphinx parts...I found an example of it online and even have a paint scheme written out for me.

Any advice let me know! Never worked on TK before but pretty confident I can pin this guy together and green stuff his butt.
