WIP 4'x4' Fantasy board

Over the past week we have been working on a new Fantasy style game board. It is far from done but we both have very high ambitions for this project.

So far we have a 4' x 4' x 1-1/2" foam board (made from a 8'x4'x3/4" pink insulation foam from the hardware store). Tools we used where a small hobby saw, the large straight blade in the pictures, a cheese grater (works wonders on large corners), and spackle.
As the pictures in the slideshow show, we plan on incorporating a river, swamp, mountains, and road. We have also though about making a forest and some ruined buildings.
As it is right know all we have done is cut out the preliminary shape and completed some basic sloping to transitions into the many levels of this board. Our next step will be to finish the sloping and mountain ranges for one of the corners and to add some text using rocks and sand.

Because this project so large and we both want it to turn out better then we could imagine it will be a long while before we are 100% complete with it.
For the mean time keep posted for other, smaller terrain, projects and some battle reports with the new forest terrain we just finished.

New Terrain

We finally have some pretty decent terrain! Edward made some bushes and shrubs (we still need to put the foliage on them) and I made a smoke template. Here they are!

Cryx Painting - Slayer

I finished painting my Slayer. I think it is my favorite so far! I'm really proud of the tusks.

Protectorate of Menoth Painting - Devout

Edward's Devout fully painted! I really like the shield.

Protectorate of Menoth Painting - Revenger

Edward's painted Revenger!

Protectorate of Menoth Painting - Crusader

Edward finished painting his Crusader, and it looks good! I turned off the flash on the camera, so the paint looks more orange than brown, which is what it is supposed to look like.

Warmachine Battle Report #2 - Cryx vs. Protectorate of Menoth

This is the second battle report between Cryx (389 points) and the Protectorate (387 points).
