Now Exebowl was the first ever NAF Blood Bowl tournament that I have entered so I wasn't really sure how it would all go down. Well I'm back from Exebowl and as promised here's my report on how it all went. Once that was dried I painted the bulkhead.Īnd here is the finished piece ready to be used in my next game of Necromunda. The sand texture is great for highlighting. To finish the concrete look I dry brushed the base with Praxeti White. Before you apply any paint make sure you brush off and excess sand, otherwise it will end up in you brush and in your paint pots! I painted my base Mechanicus Standard Grey. Once the PVA glue has fully dried (which will take about 12 hours) you are ready to do some painting. I find that this gives the strongest bond. When sticking the sand to the base make sure that you use PVA wood glue. As this is going to be a Necromunda piece of terrain I used sand (which will later be painted grey) but you could use flock or snow depending on what type of ground you are going for. Once the super glue has dried the next stage is to add some texture to the board. Whatever glue you use make sure that it is suitable to stick plastic to plastic.Īpply a little pressure to make sure the glue sets the scenery to the board. Once the board is cut out you're ready to stick your scenery piece to it. Make sure that you place a cutting mat under the card so that you don't damage your table top. I used a Stanley knife to cut out my board. Once everything is marked out the next job is the cutting. Remember to leave enough space for a single miniature to fit around it! The next job to do is to make some marks as to where you want your scenery to sit. This prevents "wobbly model syndrome" from occurring when you're trying to make your miniatures move through the terrain. A top tip when doing this is to make sure that you leave enough room on the base for a miniature to be able to stand next to the scenery piece that you wish to base. The next task is to mark out the plastic card. Before I even attempted to base it I undercoated the bulkhead with black spray undercoat. Here's the piece of scenery that I want to base. I'd recently been working on some Necromunda terrain so here's how I got on with on of the bits. I thought for this article I'd focus on my method of basing scenery for games such as 40K or Necromunda.
