Basilica Administratum (WIP)


Imperial Terrain (WIP)
Hive Fleet Locnar



















Descent Board

OK time for an update after a couple of weeks of assembly and painting here is a pic of my latest project. Its the Descent board that I cast out of plaster using the molds from www.hirstarts.com
I didn't have the paints that he used to paint his up so I decided to go with what I had on hand.
The paint scheme was done using the following method.
First I painted the whole thing using black house paint.
2nd I spray painted it a tan/bone color.
3rd I gave it a black wash. (I was hoping that's all it would take)
but I wasn't happy with the results so I)
4th gave it a bone white dry brush
5th than did sort of a wet brush of avocado green
6th did a brown wash
7 followed that up with a black wash
and finally I gave it a bone white dry brush and for the most part I am happy with the way it turned out.

Yesterday I played my first game on it and it was pretty fun, as I am no expert at Descent my friend who has played a lot more than I do was pretty impressed how much easier it was to set up. The pieces go together pretty easy and don't move around that much if you bump them. The only disadvantage I can see is that the grid is sometimes harder to see/use when trying to determine line of sight.
So if you have any comments/questions/suggestions feel free to leave comments.

My Introduction.
I think I will start by taking pictures of my current armies and the terrain I have in its current state of incompleteness. This will likely take me a few days to complete as I have 8 warhammer armies and a ton of terrain. I just finished doing a bunch of Hirst Arts casting. If you dont know what Hirst arts is go to www.hirstarts.com and be amazed I was and now Im a junkie.
My current project that I am working on is the Descent board. Pictures to follow.
Thats all for now.
