Making the diorama base and painting the blood moat!

The diorama base started life as a 12″ wide by 1″ deep polystyrene disc, which I picked up from a specialist art store in Dublin. It was a much more fragile (and compressible) material to work with compared to the dense XPS foam I’m used to.

I carved out the moat and built up the central mound using the offcuts as well as some DAS clay, then sprayed it all with Tamiya’s fine grey primer.

I painted the base with AK Asphalt terrain paste and used AK Snow paste to create textured moat filling, then topped it all off with a third of a bottle of Citadel’s wonderful Blood For The Blood God technical paint.
