Well, just a shortie from me at the minute, I've just received some models for a cool commission I'll be working on, but that almost pales in comparisson to the fact that blood bowl is very much back on my radar thanks in no small part to a friend putting together a very nice looking Orc team (even if the thrower is a one eyed special seemingly incapable of picking up the ball! hah!)
This board was more than simple to make... An appropriately sized timber board had tile spacers glued on to mark out the squares. The whole thing was then coated in Artex, which had sand thrown over it before it was completely dry (thereby saving on PVA!). A few details were pushed into the Artex and the whole thing was painted (with a very big brush).
Following this, copious amounts of static grass was used to liven the thing up and finally the touch down, centre line and wide zones were marked out by painting the tile spacers!
It took about half a day if you ignore the drying times. Well worth it to be able to stomp friends poor blood bowl teams on!
That'll teach the wife for wanting me to do some tiling... not quite what she had in mind!
