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. |_P

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.

and opted to get one of the warrior expansions in place

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