WIP: Citadel Realm of Battle Gameboard


It's Chistmas in January! My belated holiday gift to myself has arrived in the mail, and it's time to make a new battlefield.

The forgeworld cityscape tiles are great, but playing on the same table over and over again can start to be a drag, so I purchased a Citadel Realm of Battle board. I had never really considered it, given the high cost, but thewarstore.com was running a sale, and it was a full $100 off the GW retail price, so I couldn't pass it up.

The board arrived in a simple shipper, and inside was a canvas carrying bag with a shoulder strap (seen on the right) and nested within that were the six tiles. The whole thing was actually a bit heavy.

I've painted two of these tiles before. I was lucky enough to get them for free, from a FLGS that was closing. The tiles were in poor condition, and had multiple, broken scenery items glued to them. With some effort, I was able to clean them up, and the result is what you see below.


As I work on the new tiles, I'll use the same painting techniques, so that everything matches, and will detail the steps in a post in the near future.

wish me luck!
