Realm of Battle Gameboard - Stage Three


I'm heading down the home stretch getting ready to cross the finish line.

In this stage I drybrushed Fortress Grey onto all of the rocks and cliffs, but only on the edges and on the top, leaving the edge up against the brown darker. Using the 2" brush from the scenery painting pack I proceeded to drybrush the entire table less the rocks and cliffs Ochre until my back hurt. Seriously! Once finished I went back with a large flat dry brush and did some further highlighting around the rocky areas and skull pits. I then overbrushed Bleached Bone on all of the skulls and followed it up with a wash of Badab Black.

What's left? Well... I'm going to give the skull pits one last highlight and then lay down some patches of the scorched static grass from the scenery painting pack. The excitement is killing me... and so is my back so I'm gonna go lay down. Cheers!

  1. Looking good, a your hard work is paying off nicely. I can see a new hobby of Yoga starting, just to recover from this hobby!

  2. Thank you.

    I have a friend that teaches Yoga actually, but this wasn't anything a nice cold pint couldn't fix. :D

  3. Wow I have the board as well and have come to the conclusion that a desert scheme is what i am going for.

    Come Easter i will start the painting of this and your steps have already given me a nice plan on how to complete this task.

    One thing though i am thinking on adding some "sand" to the hill slopes as in the games we had in this unpainted board already proved that the figures can slide on the slightest knock on the table...

  5. @Lost Commander - Glad I could help. The RoBG is truly an awesome product.

    Once the board is painted the paint itself helps prevent the models from 'slipping', but doesn't fully eliminate it.

    What I've seen some people do with their RoBG's to keep the model from 'slipping' is spray it with the GW Roughcoat Spray. This is like laying down sand, but not as messy and gives an incredible look.
