Hey there!
I've recently decided I'd start building a "semi" modular terrain, for use with Fantasy and 40k.
I'm going for a very basic layout - going to have one river crossing over a basic battlemat terrain, two bridges crossing it, and going to fill the rest up with the odd modular hill and buldings.
So far I've bought a "Fantasy Chapel", one of the new GW models - figured that'd be just as good, instead of making one myself
I've also bought said battlemat, and going to find something for the water effects.
The battlemat is 100cm x 70/75 cm (can't quite remember), and my board-foundation is a bit bigger, so going to fill the space with a few mountain slopes / hills / flocking around the edges.
So far I've taken just a few photoes of my progress - more to come once it starts looking "good" ;
(just added urls for my pictures, to photobucket)
A picture of my wooden board, so you can get an impression of its size:

Also planning to make a rock formation, and some hills
Btw, how would you suggest I go by gluing my foamboards to the wooden board? PVA, does that work OK?
Any tips and hints are always welcome
More pictures to come as I progress!
**** Small UPDATE 30/03 ****
Laid down some foundation, took a brief picture of it;
Dunno how much you can make of it, was all I had time for.
Almost done painting a Chapel (bought, the new GW terrain pieces, looks quite nice, and was cheap) , I'll shoot some pictures of that later on.
Going to create some "stationary" hills on the table hopefully tonight - going to use "foam-on-a-can", if that makes sence
Then I'm going to basically spray the whole thing with Roughcoat, Codex Grey textured paint, before I create my river and glue down the grass mat.
