dwez Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 After many months and not a small amount of disaster and repair I finally finished my red planet Citadel Realm of Battle Board. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BHvBimqdzxQ/VOn8cRDzlSI/AAAAAAAAW8w/BlalO1TEAOg/s1600/C360_2015-02-22-15-41-42-657.jpg Of course with quite a few rumours suggesting Ad-Mech are on the way hopefully we'll see more Red Planet boards cropping up. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FNncDHxYN8w/VOn8Z93YieI/AAAAAAAAW8g/Yw5lYoAI3pU/s1600/C360_2015-02-22-15-40-53-156.jpg In case you're interested the process was a texture spray first [which may have been a mistake as I'm not sure it stuck to the plastic as much as I'd hoped] then Red Oxide primer. Shadow washes with black emulsion, PVA and water. Then drybrushed highlights with cheap Vermilion art acrylic, then mixed with a 'Pumpkin' coloured Craft Acrylic for further highlights. Finally a splatter of Bonewhite for added detail. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qh4H5zMGoO4/VOn8XiboZUI/AAAAAAAAW8Q/ewJfnPekkWY/s1600/C360_2015-02-22-15-40-08-888.jpg The varnish was a nightmare - it failed and I had to go back to the shadow wash and re-highlight but the new Winsor & Newton varnish did the trick. Add in the Gale Force 9 yellow flock and the boards are done. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-726d9p40GR8/VOn_vbuAZ8I/AAAAAAAAW_g/FMB53-7nZeU/s1600/P1090332.JPG [ATTACH=CONFIG]12868[/ATTACH] You can see plenty more pictures of the finished article here: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/terrain-is-everything-project-realm-of_23.html There are loads of WiP blog posts here, should you feel inclined to see how it was done: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/p/tutorials.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303854-red-planet-citadel-realm-of-battle-board/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffTibbetts Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Saw this on Natfka as well. Great stuff! Looks very different in all the right ways. We've all seen that board a bunch, but you've made something unique out of it. The yellow flock is just alien enough to be a nice little detail while keeping the theme going.

Father Mehman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Well thought out and executed. What about a few tumble weeds ?
