Highland tuft and display board

I ran out of time, but here's what I was able to do in about 45 minutes of painting with my airbrush. It could really use a clear coat of something, but I'm afraid of spraying over the foam (the paint is thin). Anyway, it'll have to do because I won't have time to work on it tomorrow. I just hope the sand doesn't come off before judging. Not that I think the display will win, but it should help my score.

I also put some final touches on my warboss and big mek. I picked up some Army Builder highland tuft and glued it on. I had to get the fantasy base pack, so only a tiny amount of tufts come with that, but I have some of the bigger packs on order.

Army display board

Here's my work in progress for a quick and dirty display that I plan on using for Astronomi-con this weekend. Just some foam hills on a piece of wood. My army basically covers the whole area, so I don't really have any room to add emblishments, which is ok because I don't have time to make or paint them ether. I should note though that it is semi-magnetized. There is magnetic paint under the sand, and each of my orks (and 3 of the 4 battle wagons) have magnets on their bases. This makes things a little more sturdy, and I carry most of the army around in an old metal tool case.

I used the foam cutter in miniwargaming.com's terrain building room. A video about how fireman Tim built it can be found here. It was surprisingly easy, and I'm beginning to think of ideas for a table I'd like to build for the club.
