Wanting to make a kind of diorama base to display a model. Will foamboard warp if I just use that - do I need to put something more solid (like wood) under it as a base layer?g

Yup, its from a ripper actually. I wished I hade more of them, especially the ones with closed mouths cause I really like the way it looks and I wanted one of my unks to have that face.

I've had a lot of fun doing these and I actually found that I keep making new snagas even though I only need two of them. I'm glad I got a horse for each kroot cause this could easily turn into an obsession :keke:

Finally took some photos of the Grey Hunter squad I finished a week and a half ago. I'm so tired of highlighting power armour, I think I will probably spend a while doing tanks and Empire state troops to recuperate before I tackle the 20-odd more Marines I need to paint.
