Relics Demo Board - In progress.

In readiness for an upcoming series of demonstrations days at my LGS I have the task of putting together a 2' square demo board for Tor Gaming's Relics.



Now, I have a bit of a soft spot for the Britanan (some of you may know this) so I want to have a board that has hints of the Britanan Empire before its decimation.

So, firstly. a quick sketch of my intended layout. As you can see I am certainly no artist.

The dotted line going from top to bottom is a path based upon the bases of my Troopers



The lower right is a hill, there may be a pond to the mid-left and then ruins in the board centre and on the hill and finally some trees.


Here is where I am at the moment then, the path is cut from cardboard squares. the wall is carved from blue insulation foam. I will add a close up of the wall in the next post. The wall isn't attached as it will end up on the hill.

  5. Possibly textured paint as I have loads or budgie sand and PVA.

  6. I tend to use textured paint with a little bit of extra sand added. Tend to find I have more brush left at the end of it :D
