Display Board

So, there is a local team tournament in February which I am greatly looking forward to.  It will consist of 2 player teams with 1000pts per player and follow adepticon rules for the most part.  My gaming group has met up a couple times now for practice games and I feel pretty confident about the lists my team mate and I have come up with.  So as you who follow this blog may have seen I built myself a display board early last year.  So now I am going to build one for my brother and as well as my team mate.  Below you can see what I have started for this team mate.

He plays Space Wolves and so this board will be some arctic wastes for him.  Got some nice ice shelves coming out of the ground and wotnot.  I included some raised platforms for heros/leaders as well.  There will be blood on the show here and there and room enough for a tight 2000pt list or plenty of room for 1k points.  It's the same size as my boards and I have posts showing I think up to a 2000pt list for guard fitting on a board this size.  It's tight but it still looks great as it seems like a flood of Imperial forces is moving through some city ruins or on this board an arctic waste.

As soon as I am done with this I will start work on my brothers.  All told they take about 2-4 nights to complete due to drying times of various products.  Which I don't like because I do not want to wait that long, but I have found out through making other terrain that this is the best way to do it.

Now, if you're truly interested I can probably built a similar board for you in close to any terrain type in various sizes.  To the best I could estimate it would probably be about 50 USD to build and ship within the continental US.  This is considering shipping, materials, and mostly the face that it takes a few nights worth of my time to do the work required for it to look good in my eyes.  If you are interested feel free to contact me via email at krad11ab@yahoo.com  We can discuss sizing, environment, extras, aesthetics, colors, what have you.  I will  probably not get a paypal set up right away unless I have a serious offer, and I may require a $20 non refundable deposit as, I don't want to go around buying supplies only to have someone not pay up in the end.  Again, these are estimates for a board similar to what the one above will be and the one I made for myself is.  Specific pricing may he a bit higher or lower based on size and details.

Absence

Lots of schoolwork last semester, not much time for anything else.  New year and semester means new posts.
Going to be attending some tournaments again in the early part of 2012, so that will motivate gaming and painting quite a bit for me.  Look forward to some chimeras or weapons teams painting posts come next month.

Happy Gaming

Blessed be the Genecrafters.

So, I have finished all the modelling work on the Kill Servitors.  I tried to make each one a little different, but did not want to sway too far from a feeling of mass production and thus standardization.

Here's a close-up of one pair the right one pretty simple, the left one with creepy mouth tubes. The brass Aquilas are from the Forge World etched brass sprue.  A great buy for any Imperial player.  It comes with a nice variety of sizes and plenty of quantity.

Here's another pair, with another standard one and one with a respirator mask which I greenstuffed onto its face.

And last the bone 'ead with his bionics, Mechanicus seal, big fist knife, and expanded control module so commands can be relayed to the squad.

Been playing them squad on squad against some of my brother's Blood Angel units and I like how they have been performing.  I can see them being useful in certain situations for sure.  Fun to use in general it will seem.  I like the feeling of beating those Space Vampires in close combat.

Next up I will probably be building another Missile Launcher heavy weapons squad.  Then everything I have will be built and I can focus on painting and doing terrain.
