I love the magical flames made from expanding foam. But I actually can see these turned upside down to make some truly organic fleshy towers as quick LoS blocking terrain. Use some sort of support in the middle - a plastic coat hanger arm perhaps, attach to a base - wooden disc or CD. Spray on the foam and then build a crater round it so it shows a ruptured demonic tentacle or alien flesh probe bursting from the ground
Great use of the Citadel terrain kits too and also the green fairy lights in the tower on the right. What crazy spells and incantations are being wrought to defend the keep or is it just the largest Warpstone gem ever discovered? Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I just forged a narrative all over the blog, I'll go get a tissue and clean it up, sorry, couldn't help myself.
Every GW has a table set up to showcase the Dark Vengeance box set and run taster games on, but I particularly like Manchester's as the colour scheme is awesome. Granted it's not red, but it's the next best thing and this isn't just yellow, it has plenty of black in there to give a painterly to the table not unlike the artwork in the books.
I love the background too, the dieing star/warp storm in a flame red sky. These are touches the board doesn't need to have but they'v egone the extra mile just to help create that first impression for those kids that drag their parent into the store to see what it's about.
Apologies for the reflection but there's no way to see this Imperatur Titan any other way, except for the back. It's really quite a construction. Scratchbuilding Titans is a massive undertaking. My matel Liam managed to make his Warhound and Warlord brilliantly. The Warhound is a thing of beauty, potentially better than the Forgeworld model but the Warlord was an exercise in understated but effective execution. He didn't get bogged down with the detail, which may have stalled the project, put just enough on to make it interesting and managed to reproduce the design accurately enough so it didn't look daft. So many times you see Titans that are just boxes on legs but his wasn't and I think this Imperator achieves the same goal. It's simple enough to have got made but detailed and accurate enough not to look like wasted effort and resources, the glowing red eyes help too.
