This super secret project thing has taken longer than I would have liked. I finished the painting and assembly this afternoon, now there's just varnish and basing to go. It looks... amazing. In a couple of weeks I'll have pictures up - after I've brought it out in a game.
Before that ther's a fair bit to do, including assembling some of the new chariots, Screamers, Plaguebearers and a Soulgrinder. After seeing some amazing pictures I'm considering converting one up with an Arachnarok, which would also fit with a spider Fiend conversion I'm going to be doing.
Sadly no pics at all this update, but in related news we have started work on the new tabletops. The general look is a sheet of foam core board on top for easy shaping of the terrain, followed by a big sheet of ply with a pine frame underneath for rigidity. Initial tests are looking good and we're planning a snow theme for the first one.
There will be a bunch of shaping in the board to make it unique, and the construction of that will more than likely be the topic for the next update. Using a single huge sheet of foam and ply will let us have a slightly less convenient board storage-wise for the benefit of it being able to look pretty great. We're working on ideas for the features, which are ranging from permanent flat board features, to modular objective based features with custom rules, to removable terrain.
One of the drawbacks of the move is that we now have almost no forests/hills/buildings, so once the table is done that will be the next step in this being a somewhat awesome Warhammer hub.
Not expecting a whole lot of progress this week with 2 evenings being lost to other commitments, but the basing of this project should be done by Friday night if I can keep at it. Keeping it short and sweet this update, I promise lots of pretty pictures next time.
