Battleboard Extreme Makeover

After seeing what Jerry did with the boards at Sunshine, I decided that awful Black and Orange Lava monstrosity had to face an extreme makeover.



Having already postponed my Wood Elf project to work on a WoTR army - I did not have alot of time to commit to this project.

Enter Rustolium Multicolored spray paint in Rustic Brown



Working from the black base
I started with a primer coat of flat brown spray paint over all of the orange lava sections.
I followed that up with one coat of the rustolium rustic brown mutli-colored.
Next, while still wet I misted highlights of colonial red on the hills.

I let the spray paint dry for a couple of days
I added white details to all the bone and skull lakes
Last, I stained all white and the deep rock cracks with walnut brown minwax

30 minutes on spray painting
1.5 hours on the bone details
2 hours and $10 in supplies

Later to the loud 80s deco halloween masacre
Hello to smooth earth tones.... the way God intended land to look

it was black cus he was going for a chared burnt wasteland look if i rember right

Maaaaaan.....

I kinda liked the Mordor broken earth lava look.

I have my own set of boards I have not touch!

I plan to flock them and will post pictures (once I figure out how to do that) once I get around to. I have ten armies to paint and several terrain items to do that are still outstanding, so it may be awhile.

Year or two.

Here's a link to a board done Rohan-style on The Last Alliance site.

Rohan Battleboard

It includes a how-to guide, which is always helpful!

Looking good on the progress! I wasn't as big a fan of the volcanic lava myself.

Hrm....Hrm.... Just not sure.... looks like the aftermath of a wet mud slide. Still not bad.

at lest the modles wont keep slidin down the hills like at the apoc game

I hope the texture gives the trays some grip on the slop. It should help some.

The Orange was too bright - it took too much away from the models.
