Red Planet Citadel Realm of Battle Board

[dwez]

After many months and not a small amount of disaster and repair I finally finished my red planet Citadel Realm of Battle Board.



Of course with quite a few rumours suggesting Ad-Mech are on the way hopefully we'll see more Red Planet boards cropping up.



In case you're interested the process was a texture spray first [which may have been a mistake as I'm not sure it stuck to the plastic as much as I'd hoped] then Red Oxide primer. Shadow washes with black emulsion, PVA and water. Then drybrushed highlights with cheap Vermilion art acrylic, then mixed with a 'Pumpkin' coloured Craft Acrylic for further highlights. Finally a splatter of Bonewhite for added detail.



The varnish was a nightmare - it failed and I had to go back to the shadow wash and re-highlight but the new Winsor & Newton varnish did the trick. Add in the Gale Force 9 yellow flock and the boards are done.

That is a really really nice table. Nice change to the rock, grass/ jungle and dessert style boards too. Great job, am jealous.

as I posted on your blog, awesome work and it would be great to have a game on it. Sadly, I live on the opposite side of the planet.

beautiful job.

And a terrific blog. Staggered by the beauty of some of your capillary towers. Great work. Not just the greenstuff etc, but how the paintwork complements it.

And v happy to see you spreading our idea of the comb-tentacle maker, you're getting much better results than we did!.
