Here's a mock-up of my warband display board. The finished board will have a hill in the upper left corner, upon which the baggage markers will sit. Where the rocks are now, will be some kind of uneven ground, either trees or rocks. I haven't decided. I'm still undecided whether to include the casualties. It guess it will depend upon how much time I have to work on it. Sorry for the lousy photo. I shot it by hand with my iphone.

I ordered some of these 5x7 cards printed on card stock. I will use them as army lists to give to my opponents and the tournament organizer, and as part my display for the painting judges.

This is one of the most amazing armies of the Late Roman that I've seen

I've made some progress on the display board. It needs to fit in my suitcase, so the trees won't be glued to the board. Instead, they will sit inside of inserts.

I used a rubber mold made by a railway scenery company to cast the rocks.

My original plan was to paint the trees foliage in Autumn colors, but now that I see the full warband displayed, I think that green (likely a darkish green), will look better, as it's a opposite of red on the color wheel.

I have another sizeable painting project to take care of before Adepticon, so it's looking less and less likely that I'll be adding the Saxon casualties to this board.

Progress.

I've made some good progress.

All that's left to do is touch up the black on the sides of the board and add grass and flower tufts to break up the open areas and strengthen the visual connection between the board, trees, and my models' bases.

My hope is that all the green areas will contrast nicely with the red on my models.

Nice. Looking forward to seeing it finished and with the models displayed. If that doesn't win you some prizes then the judges must be blind.

I love the presentation base - and the Britons too, of course
