Welcome to the fourth part of our Mordheim terrain series, this time we'll be concentrating on the building construction work that has been going on in support of the epic board we've been making.

Another Mordheim Terrain update in our Mordheim Board and Terrain series.
Part 1: http://bloody-dice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/hobby-mordheim-board-and-terrain.html
Part 2: http://bloody-dice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/hobby-mordheim-board-and-terrain-part-2.html
In today's post we'll take a look at the almost-fully constructed 4'x4' board, as well as some extra sections we've created to add variety to the games.
Here's the board with almost all of the tiles complete, including one of the bridge crossings. We'll have another bridge made on the right hand side, where you can see the wall gives way slightly. Warriors can also use the steps into the river, where they can wade across and use the lower ground to hide from enemy archers!

I posted about our intent to make a Mordheim board for an upcoming campaign in a recent post last week. See here for the first post in the series: http://bloody-dice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/hobby-mordheim-board-and-terrain.html
Our board is made up from Hirst Arts moulds, you can see what they look like whilst being cast above. These moulds are designed to be used with plaster, and we're using Crystacal R dental plaster. While expensive, it's a lot more durable than the cheaper Plaster of Paris (PoP). PoP tends to chip quite badly and then you're left with a glaring white scab of plaster ruining your scenery.

I am running very close to my deadline. This is starting to look a little worrying!! However, fear not, basecoats are down on the vehicles and this should gather speed very soon. See where I am at right now, after the jump.
Joel from PaintMyBits has been working on another commission in between batching his Raptors for Vanquish 2014. This time he has turned his hand to the pale skinned evil space elves of the 40k universe and painted a beautiful version of Lelith Hesperax.

With a little over two weeks left before Vanquish 2014 I am working feverishly to finish my Minotaurs. Things are starting to come together but my blogging has definitely suffered as I spend every moment not at work building drop pods and prepping parts for the last stage of the painting process.
All of the infantry are at a stage where the traditional brush work is finished bar painting the guns and some heads separately from the main models.
The Centurions are one such unit at that stage. Read on to see how they are looking now.
Joel from PaintMyBits has another Tutorial for you all. This time he will be going over the use of glazes to give your baldies a good 5 o'clock shadow.
