The final preparations are in full swing. All other projects have been pushed to the backburner until Monday. The trolls are ready and the kilt fits fine.
Painting competition entries have been chosen, an agonizing process as many of you know, and they all are complete except one...
Updated nWo books are being printed, stacked and stapled. The adventuring party has received a magnetized tray, complete with bunny.
The arena dominates a 4'x4' board, the stone border sits 10" in from the edge (what was kill box at the time...)
There are rumours that Cryx uses this venue to harvest materiel, I'm not going to say they don't...
The proper irrigation of the various fluids that are spilled here is essential. Blood, boilerwater and other liquids are pumped underground to avoid flooding.
The whole thing was painted in the same scheme as Steamtown. All of the walls and pipe fit in perfectly, but a dedicated table needs more,
In addition, 14 pieces of terrain were made for modular deployment. Two metal hills, four walls (cover), four rubble strips (concealment) and four pillars.
The idea is that before deployment, a player rolls a d3 and adds one for every ten points the game is, this is how many pieces of terrain are placed with the standard terrain placement rules in the book.
The pillars are for flavour and are not part of the terrain placement stuff. If both players are cool with it, the pillars can be used by any beast or jack with an open fist. The pillar adds +4 to melee damage and has knockback (the target gets slammed). If the jack/beast has two open fists they can throw it; range is half the user's Str, POW 4 (plus user's Str), the pillar is then placed on its side beside the target (scatter for which side). The pillar can be carried or dropped without spending an action, while picking one up would cost one action.

Some unbelievable work going on there buddy. That display &/or game board is freaking fantastic.
Your paint desk is so clean!!
ps. a nice little preview of the second land raider :)
Good Luck!! Are you entering gaming portions as well as painting competitions??
The trolls are joining Kharchev in the doubles, and Legion in the team tourny. I'm also running three rpg sessions.
Awesome work on the 4x4 table. Really dig the sewer drains and how you painted them. Care to provide some insight into how it was done?
I am planning to start doing some tutorials, including Steamtown-themed terrain like the arena. Stay tuned...
Also, your army looks awesome in person Mr. Panda, and good to see you at the con!
