Making of: Citadel Realm of Battle Board


Hello chaps!

Between my current Tyranids project, my lil‘ kid and tons of garden work I‘m working on my old Realm of Battle board.
I bought and painted the board two years ago and the look of it always bugged me a bit as the paintjob just wasn‘t adequate for a 200 Euro plastic board. 
Now the whole thing will be covered with a PVA+sand mixture and all terrain pieces will be integrated into the look of the ground surface. 

I already finished the first two squares and I‘m currently working on some additional terrain for the other pieces.

The board will consist of the following parts:
- Skyshield with tank repair station and bunker
- battlefield with craters, lots of low cover and a wrecked imperial basilisk (finished)
- Two squares with civil buildings (one finished)
- A huge scratchbuild highway bridge
- Craters with a generic building



Tyranids project


Good day chaps, time for the first post on my brand new blog!

After several games with my current 2000 points list of choice I recognized that this style of play ain't really my thing. I played a mechanized Space Wolves force for several years before moving to GK so I changed from mech to 100% shock army to get some variety - it just made no real fun.


Since I was always on the look for some bargains on the bay I more or less accidentally bought a nice Tyranids starter army for some cheap money. It included an old Hive Tyrant, Mawloc, 3 Warriors, Carnifex, 12 Gaunts, a custom Lictor and some ripper swarms.

Without any real intention I started painting the Carnifex, I really liked the look of the model and it was pretty perfect for some airbrush action. In the end it was a real blast to paint. At first I thought it would take ages to get things right but it only took around 8 hours from priming to purity seal.
