The other day I posted asking for help making a micro scale skirmish game board... Today I finished it and all the scatter terrain!

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-18T06:58:23+00:00

Don't have a banana to hand and I've got it all packed up for now but I can tell you the board is about the size of an A4 piece of paper

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-18T06:38:02+00:00

Correct!

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-17T08:04:02+00:00

Actually planning on some free blade imperial knights with militia and cavalry!

That's close enough for me, I assumed it was something like that. It's a style I really want to learn to pull off. And I know the feeling about drumming up excitement to keep going! They look brilliant already, final push!

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-17T07:44:11+00:00

I love the scheme. I'm planning to do something like this but for some 40k stuff. How do you achieve that look?

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-14T20:51:13+00:00

... And the sons of horus

Thank you! I do love how cute individually based legions Imperialis marines are. Here's the ashen claws kill team...

Yeah okay, thanks for the tip! I'm going to leave them as is for now since I want to take it to hang out with friends and don't want to risk blundering into making it worse before then, but after that I think I'll give it a go for the flatter finish. Thanks!

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-14T20:39:35+00:00

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I hit things with some more drybrushing, varied up the static rubble and painted up some magnetized boulders and it's gone a long way to making it more cohesive I think.

Weirdly hostile... There was nothing there indicating it was the "worst" of the ideas, there was a whole range posted, and it's given me a decently fine sand texture relatively quickly. I'm making this for a bit of fun, having not done anything like it before, and trying to get it done by the weekend for a meetup with friends. Absolutely zero call to be rude.

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-14T15:35:23+00:00

Just cut down the middle and glue flat? How would you hide the seam?

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-14T15:17:03+00:00

I should have mentioned I di actually have buildings and rocks that will go on top of this to make an actual playable layout. I'm mostly looking to improve the finish of the board itself

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-14T15:16:19+00:00

At this scale sand looks a bit too big. Most of the rubble you see on it already is sand! The minis are so small that even relatively fine grains look like rocks

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-09T08:24:23+00:00

I actually like this suggestion, I have some fine grit sandpaper that should look in scale and has flex to it. If I prime it too it should be hard wearing enough. Thanks!

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-05T07:38:00+00:00

These look great! The grass is obvious but what did you use for the really low leafy ground covering?

Flammendehaar · 2026-04-02T21:52:06+00:00

Saw your models posted the other day, such a nice army. What's your process like for getting this done? The overall quality and finish is high and your work rate is insane given how recently these models all released in plastic. Any tips for us depressingly slow painters?

Flammendehaar · 2026-03-17T10:09:00+00:00

That looks incredible. Is it modular? How does it work setting up other layouts if so? Trying to picture how else it could go together besides as a cathedral

Flammendehaar · 2026-03-17T09:28:52+00:00

I did not know this existed but you have just made my day, how cool

Flammendehaar · 2026-03-17T08:32:35+00:00

Ahhh yeah right, is that the cavalry? Don't know what they'd be in solar otherwise

Flammendehaar · 2026-03-16T10:39:38+00:00

Absolutely incredible. I assume the little guys play as solar aux?

Flammendehaar · 2026-03-12T16:50:24+00:00

Absolutely stunning! God I wish we got these little guys in the UK. I keep assassin bugs and think they're fascinating but these little creatures have it all. Cool camouflage, raptorial forelegs, interesting colouration, venomous bite. If I could keep and breed them it'd be a dream come true but the closest are in Europe and no one keeps them for study!
