So as described above, my army will be split into sections, removed from plastic bases and put into dioramas.
I’ve made some great progress, both in construction and deciding how it will work.
So the idea will be to attempt a very basic version of the chaos AoS terrain.
I was going backwards and forwards for a long time on whether it should be outside or inside an enemy stronghold. I decided the wall you’ll see will be inside the enemy base.
If it were outside I could’ve done ruined CD siege equipment and junk. But they would’ve effectively broken in then turned around for a photo!
Anyways here is the core build and spacing. I’m missing most of the units and it will be different heroes etc.
The wall will be ruined in sections, but not a whole load of rubble around (no space).
Also I’ll be adding about 200 skulls minimum
I came across this Reddit photo which was obviously trying to capture the mood of the hellcannon art, which has inspired me greatly for the overall feel of what I want the base of the diorama to be. With loads of spikes and twisted metal and skulls. Potentially even a road made of skulls across the front, as I found a cool embossed roller for doing that
The second diorama (i.e. other half of the army) doesn’t need to be in any way connected of course, but probably I’ll carry on the wall.
