Armies on Parade - Silver for my Orks!

I managed to jump over to my local Games Workshop with a pile of Orks on Saturday for the armies on parade competition.  Even better, I managed to pull of a Silver medal!  I was beaten by an impressive dwarf army that had an amazing display board.  I just crammed as many cool models as I could on a Realm of Battle board piece and hoped for the best... and it worked out.  More pictures after the break, and the other entries can be found on the Appleby Village Games Workshop facebook page.

Realm of Battle Finished

Here's a walk through tutorial showing how I painted up the Realm of Battle modular board from Games Workshop.  It is on the pricey side of things, but nice details and durable.  I've also done a modular table for much cheaper if you want to check out that video.

I had my first games on this on the 27th with my brother and it was a blast. I also made up a wood frame to keep everything together and stable on top of a table that isn't quite 4 feet wide.  I'll have to make up a tutorial for that one when I get a chance.

Here are some pics of the board I'm working on.  I'm using the GW scenery pack and am painting it basically the standard way.  I've just finished painting the base coat for the rocks and will be shading and highlighting them next.  It should be ready for flock after that and then it'll just be a matter of painting all the skulls and I'll be done.

Realm Of Battle

Another project... this just arrived today.  I ordered the Realm of Battle modular game board so that I could have a nice table that can be put away.  I like the idea of something more durable than a table made out of MDF and I haven't come up with a reliable way of making hills that will match up as nicely as this bad boy.

I've got to get it all painted before Christmas, and I've got a bunch of scenery I'd like to get done for then as well.  Hopefully I'm able to get that done along with all my other projects.  I'll be sure to post pics as I go and a video of the process once I'm done.

Here's the finished videos for the modular table that I made for about $25.

Modular table wip update

Here's a couple more pics of the modular table I'm working on. I've got it all textured (with coffee grinds) and once that's dry I'll start painting it.

I've been talking about this project for a while with the guys from MWG... I really like the GW Realm of Battle modular table, but there's no way I would want to pay $350 for it. So, the solution is that I've challenged myself to make a 6x4 modular table for under $50. I'm convinced I can do it, and here are some work in progress shots. I'll be making a video of the steps once I'm done along with a list of materials.
