Building hills - Finished

Gave the last pieces of the hills a protecting glue surface last night and also added some medium colored flock to make them less cow patchy looking. The two single piece hills look quite OK but I am not totally satisfied with the four piece hill. The edges are not completely straight since I gave them a bit of plaster to cover up the textured sides. They will do but next time I will skip that step.
Another thing I learned in this process is to add some dish soap to the water/PVA-mix, this really helps in making the mixture flow and reach everywhere.

Building Hills - 2

Time to turn those black piles into something more lively. I use some fine turf from Woodland Scenics (Green Grass and Earth).

Building hills - 1

After the completion of the gaming table (part 1, part 2, part 3) it is time to get going with some terrain. I felt some smaller hills would be nice to have.
For the build I am using:

  • Left over styrofoam
  • Hard board (I think that is the name for it, used in drawers and as back plates in bureaus )
  • PVA glue
  • Filler
  • Acrylic paint
  • Woodland Scenic's flock and grass


First, I started off by cutting out the shapes and beveling the edges a bit. I decided to try to build a four-piece hill that can go against the edge of the gaming table or all four pieces together to form a larger hill.

More assault marines

A proper army for Flesh Tearers should have a lot of assault marines.
So here are some more to join the fray. Basing is not done as I am saving up a good bunch of minis and base them all at once.

Gaming Table - Finished

A month later and it is now finished. 
With the two boards in place, the folding legs are working as expected and it was a quite simple solution compared to the other ideas I had.

Gaming table - 2

After a few smaller building sessions, the table is almost done.
Mounted the legs first.

Gaming table - 1

Today I started building my gaming table after having discussed it bit with the old man.
It will be a middle part of one 2' x 4' which will have two fold-able legs on each side that will support the side boards which will be just two 3'x'4 MDF pieces with a locking/supporting piece in the middle. My first plan was to have hinges for the side boards but that will make the whole table a lot heavier so I decided to just have them rest on the fold-able legs.
