Fantastic work as always Tom! I love the colour palette and mix of old and new models.

Photographing them in your terrain is always a bonus for us (more loveliness to gawp at!)

Subject: Re: Tom's Witch Hunters Fri 21 Dec 2007 - 20:31

Yeah, they look cool! Thanks for posting. Got any more?

Is that you're mordheim board they are standing on? That's quite some etching/details. Where did you come up with that idea? any more pics?

And the warband is exceptional! (As Always!)

Subject: Re: Tom's Witch Hunters Sat 22 Dec 2007 - 14:55

Thx Ash! I came up with the idea myself... I guess I was inspired by the cathedral in Vienna, that has a "tiled" floor with different motifs.

Oh yeah... the carving. Took me 3 full days to carve the whole board with a pencil/pen afro

Here's 2 pics I took specially for you Smile

That is FREAKING AMAZING! It look awesome!

And to get this straight, you "carved" it with a "pencil/pen"?

Did you mark it with the pencil then rub on the foam with the pen?

Then you painted it all dark grey and brushed it grey?

thanks, and well done.

Subject: Re: Tom's Witch Hunters Sat 22 Dec 2007 - 18:36

doing the same thing on my board now Smile

but just a normal pattern of stones though..

I carved the stones directly with a pencil, but since the tips kept breaking off I switched to a ball-pen Smile

It's much easier.

No rubbing needed. Just "draw" while applying pressure Wink

Crazy! What kind of material did you use?

Thanks,

What you need for your gaming board is usually called "Styrodur". It's a very homogenous type of styropor, extremely light, yet very hard. The cool thing about it, is that it is furthermore very easy to cut with a sharp modelling knife and very easy to engrave/carve. Every large home improvement store has it! It usually comes as roughly 0,6x1,2m plates (pink or white) and is used in construction to insulate walls in buildings and houses.

Here in Austria it is called "Styrodur Isolierplatten" and I bought it at OBI, which is a store that I think exists in Germany aswell. Maybe that helps you Erkwin.

Another cool sidenote: If you buy 2 plates, you (usually) have a perfect 1,2x1,2m Mordheim table, the perfect size for a 2-4 player gaming board! (That's the size of my table).

It's rather cheap too! I bought mine at 5€ a piece. So 10€ in total.

In my opinion this stuff is worth it's weight in gold! The nec plus ultra for making gaming tables.

Hey Thanks Tom.

(lol I'll check the other topics next time =])

I'll see if I can find that in Montana

Subject: Re: Tom's Witch Hunters Sun 23 Dec 2007 - 1:02

I am SURE that even in Montana (especially in Montana!) people like to insulate their houses from the cold Very Happy

Therefore you should have no problem finding those plates in the Treasure State Wink

Now a'days, they call it "Big Sky Country"? (I didn't realize that that was the actual slogan for Montana lol)

Thanks for teaching me about Montana lol

Tom,

Another Board Question: Now that you've had this "sewer" thing sunken in to your board for a while (I assume), what's your opinion of it? Is it useful? Do people ever use it?

Thanks,

Subject: Re: Tom's Witch Hunters Mon 31 Dec 2007 - 4:17

If I can just add to the questions - how do you do your bases? I like the look of them, seem quite nice and flat - I'm currently using some textured plasticard on my Space Marines but its quite raised up, looking for something more like these for Mordheim...

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere! New pictures are lovely!
