New Mordheim Board

Oxymandias · 10 May 2021 06:55

I’ve been really pants at uploading to this thread. Let’s fix that now.

Using blue XPS foam , Amera plastic mouldings single sheets, and tiny xps bricks I’ve built 6 modular boards. They are designed to fit together in any orientation. They are also designed to stack on top of each other for storage.

I’ve began populating it with shop bought ruins and 3D printed scatter.

And now it’s ready to be painted! My campaign starts in like 2 weeks although my first game is likely to be in theee+ weeks as I’m off getting married when the campaign starts. (I asked the other half and yes apparently it’s more important than mordheim) so I’ve got to get a wiggle on if I’m to finish on time! I may concentrate on just painting four boards so I’ve got a decent gaming surface and paint up two more at a leisurely pace afterwards.

Let us know how you get on with it, I’ve wanted to try it out myself for a while but never quite got round to taking the plunge.

Always welcome! Same for any other CDO homies who are unlucky enough to find themselves on my soggy little island. Come quarantine in my gaming garage haha

The resin is a poor mans water effects that I stole from Lukes APS

Pound shop (dollar store?) two part clear epoxy resin mixed with isopropyl alcohol (which I have lots of for 3D printing).

It’s definitely not the tool for the job btw. It took ten syringes of the stuff to fill hahahah

Much better for small puddles etc. But hey - it worked!

Deebo · 18 May 2021 16:52

Sweet as, I will have a look through the $2 shop & bunnings next time I am there, I also have an abundance of iso since getting this printer… I often wonder what the post people think when they deliver 20L of the stuff at a time lol

Loidrial · 18 May 2021 17:46
