I clicked on this with no prior knowledge of what you were doing, and I saw assassins with green blades and thought they must have been hacking through the jungle. I like your warriors with White Lion legs, nice kitbash.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Thanks Layne - that was my attempt at a poison coated blade
Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Lol, I think Layne is in the minority there. Green is pretty much the universal color of poison. Disney told me so.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
I don't normally like yellowish green for poison, but here it works well due to the contrast with the blue cloth.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Working on a new board for Armies on Parade this year. Will post the progress as I go over the next couple of weeks.
Step 1: Start with 1mm thick MDF board cut to 600x600mm. Paint the underside Black and seal with varnish. Top side using Polystyrene sheet cut hill sections. From a mould I had kicking about I made some paving for a brick road out of PVA glue.
Step 2: Lots of PVA glue.... and more. Glued the rock sections down and made the glue for the water section.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Interesting start!
I'm surprised that 1mm PdF is strong enough for your display board.
Useful information... mmmh...

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
I'm surprised 1mm mdf is strong enough for anything. I don't think I've even seen any mdf less than 3mm thick for sale anywhere.
(Did you mean 10mm, Cultofkhaine? )
Anyway, it's looking very nice so far. Was the mould for the road taken from the tower wall sections of the old Warhammer Fortress, by any chance?

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Wooops! Cant get anything past you guys!!! Sorry typo - its 11mm MDF
Yes the mould was taken from one of the fortress walls - I used it on my pringles tower some time ago. Very easy to do, cover the whole thing in silicon with a silicon gun, let it dry and slowly peel it off - one very easy mould to make brick walls with or in this case a road. I filled the mould with standard PVA glue.
It's amazing what you can make from just polystyrene and a bit of glue.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Another update.
Step 3: Sand the board. I do this first by laying down a coat of PVA glue then sprinkling sand over the top and finally covering it again in a 50/50 PVA water mix to make sure the sand does not come off when I dry brush it.
Here is a close up of the water, again this is just PVA glue painted on with a brush to give the board some depth.
Here is what the road looks like from my PVA silicon mould.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Next stage is to give it a good base coat. I sprayed all the PVA glue areas with a white base coat first to seal the glue and make it easier to paint.
I also added some coarse gravel around the base of the rocks.
Then I gave it a good coat of black, blue and brown slowly building up the colours.
Blue is much easier to paint on a white background than black.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
The water effect, without any "water effect" is amazing!
I have to try it. Definitely!

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Well the board is now done after lots of dry brushing.
Final steps included a matt seal then painting water effects over the sea area.
A fairly quick job this one and looks great with the army on it. I will post more photos wen I get the chance. Can't believe I have finished this army after 2 years of painting it.
And the finished board from the top down.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Looking forwards to seeing the army displayed on the board.
Nice to see the sea!

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
I can't fit the whole 3000pts army on the board
It's parade day today so hopefully will get a few snaps together and then will take some photos of it in the photo booth later in the week.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Truly epic! How do you do make the strings on the repeater crossbows? Really nice idea. That spearman phalanx looks so bad ass.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Thanks LD - I use black cotton for the strings on the crossbows. I tie it off first with a small loop then use a tiny dab of super glue to keep it in place.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
Yes it was a bit like that It's a shame GW could have such a great event if they put some thought into it. We don't get Golden Demon, or the proper old style Armies on Parade day here any more.
I still like to work on a new army each year - that's the joy in it for me.

Re: [PLOG] Cult of Khaine
I wish - I have such a large collection of unpainted models at the moment it's hard to keep up.
This year I have a couple of units to finish from last years lizardman army and the new army will be based on the city of Gharond with a Slaanesh theme.
My long term goal is to have an army for each Dark Elf major city.
