Day 2!

Much progress can be made in a day especially when you're laid off and on unemployment.. So hey Im getting paid to do this and go to school..

My goal for the terrain is for it to look really good with models and other scenery on the field but at the same time I do not want to spend weeks detailing it. Reason? I don't believe it will enhance the enjoyment of the game all that much because people tend to not pay a lot of attention to it compared to the models themselves

After having marked up the first 4 boards I got my tub of textured paint and just got a paintbrush to layer it on. Fairly straight forward. Before that however I covered all the roads with masking tape so that later (as you'll see) I could take it off and paint them by hand.

Here is an example of the very exciting "foam with white paint" picture! Now, the paint can said it took 4 hours to dry but it actually took more around 14. But that did not deter me from working on other parts of the overall project in the meantime

Deciding I needed some base defense since I've never really played with any. For whatever reason all my game stores have terrain yet nothing like that. Going to the hardware store I found some plumbing pieces that looked like they could be an imperial gun emplacement.. Some bits later I had these!












Also needing some turrets for my sandbags I made a few autocannon turrets which were just predator sponsons with the lascannons replaced by autocannons (From said predators)





















Finally one of the boards was dry so I got out my spray paint and started to paint it.. First coat was matte black then a brown and finally an off white to give it the look I wanted. Once that was dry I peeled off the masking tape and did the roads by hand

That's it for day 2
