After finishing a bunch of Maiden Guard yesterday, I needed to make new movement trays for the Heart of Isha and the Tears of Isha regiments. The existing ones work fine for 5x2 25mm bases, but now with an extra rank I need to, well, add an extra rank. So I broke out the thick cardboard, pencil, ruler, knife, and glue:
 |
| When measuring the footprint, it's not just the footprint of the bases - 12.5cm by 7.5cm - but you need to make sure there's space for the rim, to hold the figures on the tray. I use 5mm rims here, so the base section is 13.5cm by 8cm. The upper lip is 5mm wide all the way around |
 |
| Then I painted the edges in Rhinox Hide, and the surface in Castellan Green to match the colours I used on the bases of the Maiden Guard |
 |
| THEN once the paint was dry I used a glue stick to rub glue over the lip, and dunked it in my Woodland Scenics Blended Turf (T50 Earth Scene) scatter |
 |
| And the end result! Some card, glue, and a bit of time (as well as the pencil and ruler and knife) and I have some handy-dandy movement trays for the next game! |
Tomorrow it's off to the spaceship yards to get cracking on that commission. But for now, I'm going to bask in this finished 750 point Maiden Guard force.
