Do any of you have a suggestion for what cannons to use for my fantasy army? I think I saw some cannons available without crew but I'm sure you guys know the pendraken range much better than me so any advice would be appreciated.Thanks!

Is it fantasy humans, renassaince da Vinci punk ish? The Landsknecte cannons would be a good match...

Here is the board with all greenery added! Now all that's left is the river  :D

And I'm not sure what style I'm going for just yet. Part of me wants to go for the warhammer fantasy empire idea and the other wants to go all out steam punk, lol.

Step 8 and 9 of this method recommends you use hairspray (of the maximum hold, unperfumed variety) and what-is a watered-down PVA solution sprayed on.

Best of the lot is Deluxe Materials Scenic Spray Glue.

Comes in its own pump-spray bottle. Cover the bases of whatever you're spraying, otherwise you'll glue the whole thing to your work-surface! Yes, it is that good!

When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

I actually wound up getting frustrated and used super glue.  It is holding great, but my fingers looked like I was turning into an ent  ;D

For water I would paint the base a blue brown then put a few coats of marine varnish on top
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Looking cracking!

Good luck de-flocking the fingers...

Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Toxicpixie: I filed the majority of the super glue off with an iron file. But there was a little pile of super glue and flock dust whrn I was done :)

Fenton: I already have a coat of mod podge on the river, but would giving the rest of the layers a blue tint come out well? I have an uneven river bed so the "paint is and varnish it" techniques won't work.
