GuardDaddy Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 We have a large number of WIP threads on the forum. 19 Oct is Armies on Parade. Anyone up for creating a board to display there armies so far and sharing WIP as they do so?

Kierdale Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I entered my IG into AoP2018: I used a cork noticeboard about 60cm x 40cm, from the local 100yen store for the board, and paper-clay (again from the 100yen store) to sculpt it a bit. Some thick card across one corner for a bit of road. Painted it all with cheap craft store acrylic paints. I kept it all cheap as, with an IG army, likely most of the board will be covered (particularly if, like me, you can’t resist the temptation to fit your entire army on the board!). The only real terrain piece I added was a statue I squeezed into one corner: I hope that helps, and I’d love to see everyone’s entries.

GuardDaddy Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Awesome. I'm going to have same issue of lots of models. Think.im going to add city ruins from GW and have army bursting out from them. I am thinking of ways of adding vertical presentation areas for visual interest - balconies, maybe a raised area.

Kierdale Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Good thinking. More terrain will make it more believable. Less like they’re fighting on Planet Tabletop. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357511-armies-on-parade-imperial-guard/#findComment-5358198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommissarZac Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Oh my 38th Landsknecht Rifles will certainly be represented. I have to grab a cheap poster board like you.

ScionOfCorlesia Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Will be entering again this year with my Militarum Tempestus. Entered for the first time last year, pretty plain board with my dudes on top. Got a few plans for a Scene this year rather than just my lads on display. That's the plan anyway..

GuardDaddy Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Sounds great. I'm looking forward to doing some terrain. I also want to share fluff of my regiment so going to have some info text on side of board, so going to do a deeper board. Not sure yet by adding a simple frame that will also help rigidity. The models are done. Also conscious of transport. I have a fair bit of GW scenery to use from various sources. At the minute plan is to have back of base with ruined buildings and arranging models as they charge out of that.

GuardDaddy Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 OK starting to flesh project out now. I've collected up 40k scenery I have and can get quite a high stack set up to add vertical height Got the board from B&Q (UK) for 12 quid. Here is layout test I have seen what I can get on model wise without overcrowding board It will allow for some nice little mini scenes to be set up within board NEXT STEPS: I'm going to spray paint baseboard, and then add low level scatter scenery.

GuardDaddy Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Ok order arrived and led to slight change in layout. Now doing a crossroads. MDF scenery great, resin good too. Images of testing layouts below, will obvioulsy cut new MDF scenery boards to size to fit 2 foot square base board.

lionofjudah Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks Duz!!! Done things I don't think about Here we go, back down the rabbit hole.... So, my LGS usually does AoP at the end of October so I'm resting easy and gently plugging along on the for soldiers and planning on a tiered display base this year... Happy go lucky till I look in the shops FB feed on a Friday and see that I only have 1 week Needless to say I quit sleeping and put in 24 hours of painting in that week to almost get finished with the command squad... Anyhoo... Here we go Can't make my images small enough right now to upload to BnC...

gilt_imp Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Congratulations to those who entered the Armies on Parade. All the pics in this thread look fantastic, so much effort and inspiring, so well done! Unfortunately, I did not get to enter the AOP, the store manager did not allow it. Due to where I live and the nearest store being over 500km away, I rang the store to check on some things before going there, as driving that far and booking a hotel etc I wanted to make sure I got things right, like entry times etc. When we phone talked about my entry the store manager told me sorry, he had a no FW policy. That meant no FW kits at all, to play with or even for entry into painting events, like the AOP. As I had designed my entry around the large FW Porphyrion knight, he gave me a choice, replace that knight with something else or not enter. Well it was a bit hard to suddenly come up with a replacement. Anyway, at least I found out before I drove there! That would have sucked even more!!! Btw I have since checked with GW, apparently stores (individual store managers) have the right to allow FW kits in their store or not allow them. I think I’ve heard something like that before, just didn’t realise it included painting events as well. Now I know.
