Dynamitedeano Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I managed to get mine early and have managed to complete my Realm of Battle Gameboard (RofBGB). I decided on a volcanic world, like Vulcan from the 5th Ed Rulebook. I filled in the cracks / skulls with PVA and painted it to look like lava pools. The covered skulls look like bubbles / solidifying lumps on the surface. Every large crack has a lava flow coming from it and are covered with water effects to enhance the shine. A friend has asked me to paint another one for him (when he gets it) and I'm looking for other cool theme ideas. What are other members plans for thier RofBGB? I would encourage this purchase as it really is awesome and looks so effective. My mechanised and Armoured companies look awesome on it. I really enjoyed my first game on it and when we all spend so much time painting the models, the new Terrain makes them look fantastic and well worth the time and effort to paint! DD.

Terminatorinhell Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 how about a planet with tones of black obsidian scenery and a skeleton turned into obsidian?

Dynamitedeano Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 With obsidian, the effect is glossy with extreme highlights. I reckon the obsidian would be great like necron crystals as moveable terrain pieces. The board is rough textured and ready for highlights. Don't know if the board could be made to look totally gloss black. Good idea though and I'll probably make some crystals for my board.!

Custodian Athiair Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 just saying my warhammer club is getting the Realm of Battle Board and we are going to paint it like mars which would crush our catachan player (who never wins) evenmore at which point we had an idea by saying all of the trees have adapted to live of the iron in the soil and so have a very strong trunk just an idea also how about if you don't like that: snow planet or a tanith like planet (sorry love Tanith) but really what army does he collect as then we could choose a terrain based on his army Athiair :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153485-realm-of-battle-gameboard-themes/#findComment-1789089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
