What are you using to base this wonderpiece? Watch the glue you use doesn't curl the edges as the base dries out.

Surely for sacrifices it has to be the blood of a virgin... so your efforts are wasted... no wait... never mind... Tum tee tum...

a cunning attempt at ridicule...
Anyway, I bought a table off of craigslist.com that was about the size I wanted. The foam seems to be strong enough to act as it's own base, and it's light/durable enough that I can easily carry it around without worrying about structural damage. I covered the surface in hydrocal which hardens into what is basically a paintable cast. The only problem I encountered while painting was that the white pieces of cardboard I laid down to hold baseplates deformed severely. I ended up having to cut them out at the end, which was a royal pain in the ass. Hopefully it will still look ok once the details are applied.
If I were to do this again, I would lay down the flat cardboard pieces after the hydrocal was applied to the rest of the surface. I would also cover them in painter's tape to shield them from the paint and keep them flush with the surrounding land-form.
By far the most challenging part of building one of these is maintaining flat surfaces on which to put baseplates. I learned that hydrocal is not good for this unless maybe you were to buy a lot of it and pour it on directly.

And if you don't know if you'll be having human or animal, just bring the Warhammer RPG.

I have to admit, Rayhawk, I laughed.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

no what you want for humans,aliens and animals is the RPC (Rocket-Propelled-Chain-saw)

no we just take the fictional backstory of plastic brick wargame way too seriously.
