Talk Fantasy Football

Very inspiring!
Makes me want to build another pitch too...
Keep the WIP photos coming!

So, from this thread I have learned that your girlfriend has had to have the following conversation:

"Hi, Mom. How are you?"
...
"Great. And how's Dad?"
...
"Oh that's good."
...
"I know the weather has been very nice lately"
...
"Yes, yes. I'm doing fine. I met a guy."
......
"Well he's nice. He's very...creative."
...
"No, he's not really an artist. Well, he doesn't get paid to be an artist, but he does paint."
...
"No, he doesn't paint on canvas. He paints miniature figurines. Like, little army men."
......................
"MOM, NO! HE'S NOT GOING TO KILL ME AND BURY ME IN HIS BASEMENT! For goodness sake."
...
"Mom...Mom.........MOM! It's just a harmless game. It's like fantasy football or something and the teams consist of Elves, and dwarves, and orcs, and there's even one that is giant rats."
...
"No, Mom...the game....MOM...his apartment doesn't have rats. The game has rats."
.....
"Oh seriously, Mom. It doesn't matter anyway. Even if his apartment had rats his pet snake would eat them."
........
"Mom."
.....
"Mom?"
...
"Are you there?"
...
"Hello?"

Actually... the pet snake is hers

Another update

We carved out about half of the wall sections and made a start with the floor tiles.
Also started basecoating the first parts of the construction.









The next few days will be spent carving out more of the same. The both of us already look forward to the moment where we can start painting and adding detail.

I also got hold of a large amount of clear epoxy to fill the sewers with.

Are you going to fill it to the same level than the centre? Will the squares be marked, or just using the bottom as reference?

I'll make markings un the tiles underneath the epoxy and use that as reference. Will only fill up to about 1/8" of epoxy though, so there will still be a height difference between the water surface and the raised center bit of the field. About 1/4" of an inch even.

If I wanted to fill up the whole difference (3/8th") I would need about a gallon of epoxy. More then I would be comfortable with for various reasons.

DIN will send officiers so you start complying with the German norms immediately.

I honestly wasn't expecting that.

She must be a little cray-cray.

Ain't we all a little cray-cray every so often?
I love her just the way she is

Still working on this one. The single bricks were all carved out, base coat applied and we're now painting the individual bricks and floor tiles.

Some more progress shots







Even the little dog is exhausted from all the heavy work

I hope the dog is optional?

Very nice work, far beyond my abilities.

Oh yes! The dog is a movable obstacle and does not need to be included in all games. It's like a special play card a bit as in it shows up when you least expect it to

That pitch is really awesome. Makes me want to create a skaven team, just to be able to copy your work!

I just started with the first bits of weathering. Right now it's too dark to make a photograph of the process but I'll post an update soon.

PS: The idea for this field came from my girlfriend. She thought my Skaven teams would look great on a sewer style gaming field
