Pyro X Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 so I got bored with the bases I have on my ravenwing so I am going to make an army display board with magnets in all the models and everything. Any thoughts on what colors the rocks and stuff on the ground would look good? I'm leaning toward the same as the one I did before but with some parts of broken slate with it alining with the bike bases. here is what I have so far. I'm only waiting on the new bases from GW to come in so I can bases everything then put the bikes on. the 5 bases without anything are the spots for 5 more Black knights for when I buy them. and the blank spots to the left of the old speeders are the spots for the attack bikes I forgot to put on the board.

[TA]Typher Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Wow. Are you going to add magnets to them? I know a lot of people do that to keep them secured to the board. I wish I had the energy to do this. Looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro X Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Will do. It should be done next week and I am doing my ally white scraps to match them after this project is done O then I will do my 1st company ad well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 @ Pyro X, Could you show us a close up of your techmarine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I think a brown/yellow basing would create a great contrast. I've made mine grey with green grass but only because that's how is based the rest of my army. Also, since my bikes have blue highlights grey is more contrasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper-VII Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 That looks really good, looking forward to seeing pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelVeto Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I can agree that magnets are awesome. I use a metal tray carry everything around, with magnets on all my bases. It makes life a lot easier when you don't need to worry about a slight tilt sending all your models flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I suggest dark red sand with black rocks, or grey ones if they're too close to the army's color or darken the board too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro X Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I got the blank bases in today (still no magnets) but I was able to finish up putting the basing stuff and slate onto the bases and the rest of the display board. here are the pics of what everything looks like without it being painted and without the bikes or any other models so far. @Valourourheart: sorry I didn't see your post right away. Here is the pic of the techmarine so far. I am also going to be adding some green stuff onto his leg so it looks more like Artificer armor and toys onto his bike. I will be painting him this week or next and I'll put pics up of him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TA]Typher Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm liking the look of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSUWolf Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The slate shards are genius! This looks like it'll be epic when finished. I second the either grey or reds to contrast your bikes (a dark red so as to not take away from the black of the bikes). You said you highlighted Blue, so the grey might be more apt but then again I personally like the brown with grey rocks youve got so far heh.

elmo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Great work on the display board and I can't wait to see how you paint the Techmarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Thanks for the close up of the techmarine. And I have to agree with NCSUWolf, that slate work is awesome. Still deciding on how I want to build my techmarine. I am leaning toward him being by himself on an Attack Bike with the servo harness doing all of the work while he is on his PDA.

Millicant Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Wow! That is very cool looking!! Congrats. I'm a bit jealous actually. I wish I'd done something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Crazy! Um...what's the deal with the absence of attack bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro X Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 the attack bikes have a magnet under the model and will be on the right (the models left side) of the rows of 6 right before the speeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro X Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 here is the final produce (minus the bikes, I ran out of time and I have a game tmw and my models can't be 1/2 assed when I play) I will post another set of pics after I get the bikes on the bases in the next few days. and next month I think I will be doing my deathwing on a display just like this one, not sure yet though.

Master Avoghai Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 That's really nice! However I would have imagined it lighter... Closer from bubonic brown to create a contrast with the black bikes I'm looking forward seeing it with the bikes on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 That's pretty freakin' awesome! I would have made cutouts for the attack bikes, too, but damn...your work is 10x better than mine. It reminds me that in addition to painting three more DWK, a bike libby (currently proxied), and a replacement for my 12 year old crusader (the paint quality and parts breakage are holding back my paint scores, lol), I gotta do a board before adepticon...

EPK Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Very nice! You may have already thought about this but it might be a good idea to number the cutouts with the corresponding model. Though I realize they all could fit anywhere, they do have particular spots due to how rocks are cut, so it might be better than having to do a jigsaw puzzle every time you load them up.

Pyro X Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 here are all the bikes glued to the new bases. I still need to do a little bit of painting on the AB's and set + I need to buy 5 more knights but I think it still looks good for whats done.

Major_Gilbear Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 That looks very impressive - well done! (...I'll bet cutting the slate where it sits across the board and bases was "fun"! ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
