Brother Syddraf Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi all. After my slow performance in the ETL, i have decided to do this log in the foot steps of the great Dark Angel members here as motivation for me to build/paint all the models i have and the first step to this is doing a little display board, so i can do off better quality pictures and hopefully advance my skill. The idea of this board is as trial run for doing a complete gaming table. I used multiply sheets of cork floor tiles to build up a street, side walk and site of a ruin building. Along with plastic strips and tiles I dug out a couple of blast carters And glue some of the removed cork as rubble And last a couple of minis from my 9th squad as scale Once i'm done with this board i'll be moving through all my squads to remodel old minis and repaint the lot. Currently i have enough for the full 5th company with 2 ten man veterans squads. Hopefully i can put something new up every week, thanks all egon1six, Raztalin, elmo and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raztalin Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Maaaan - that board is top notch!!! The bases look massive too, but in a good way! Well done sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Syddraf Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 The base height is according to the minis rank. Normal trooper are one layer of cork, veterans get two layers and Masters and up get three. I fell in love with cork tiles as basing material, so easy to cut/rip/glue/paint, and i found these Evergreen brand platic card in two tile sizes that work great on top. Have put down a base coat on one of my veteran squads and started to shade them, them will start doing squad by squad til im done.

BlackTriton Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I like the green you used, also those base look huge! They must be hard to miss on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Syddraf Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thanks guys The bases are a good 15mm pile of cork tile, good thing GW put space marines on a bigger base cause they wouldn't have fit. The green is Caliban green base with a glaze of Warpstone Glow and Lahmian Medium at 50:50 painted in a couple of layers and highlighted with moot green then a couple of coats of Biel-Tan Green.
