i think its all about finding the right pen to do it. i used a permanent marker which basically oozes ink. so just need to find something a little more reserved
also mountboard has a tendency to warp where as greyboard doesnt..hence the choice.

also send you a PM

I didn't know that about mountboard. Awww man thats bad news maybe.

I have some 1.5mm greyboard somewhere...

What's Mountboard? I also painted the borders of my stuff black. It's worth it.

honestly i do not know. ive scoured the internet for other peoples explanations and nont of them match my findings. all i can tell you is that i have glued prints direct onto mount board and they warped. i did the same on greyboard. and they didnt warp lol

im sure they both serve their respective purposes perfectly but for this sort of use grey board seems to be the only way to go.

I've got stuff on mountboard a few years old and no sign of warping so maybe I've been lucky with it.

Actually thinking about it I think it can warp if you use too much glue, it contracts on one side when it dries but I print onto A4 labels so I never have that problem.

Wow I just saw this thread, what a cool project! The tiles look great and I am so blown away by your miniatures and the zealot doorways! Amazing!

Thank you very glad you like them, i still have a long way to go and hope to be showing everything as i go

of which i branched away slightly from my quest (whats a quest without side quests anyways?)
and opted to get one of the warrior expansions in place

hail the bretonnian questing knight!


not too happy with this guy for a few reasons. some my own fault. some army painters fault

What are those rats? They have a bit of GW style about them but I really don't know them.

they come from a mixture of GW sprues
i think some are from the plague monks sprue and the rest from the rat ogres sprue
