Step 5:

 

Now it is time to apply a coat of latex paint over all the sand to seal it in. Grab your large brush and give all the sand a good coat of latex paint. Make sure to pay attention to getting paint in all the little cracks you make along the lava channels. Also paint the outside edges of the boards at this time.

 

 

This will last step will take a while to dry so lets move on to making the movable terrain (if you had not started it already).

You can also get the foam online at http://www.frpshop.com/styrofoam-c-39_40.html
I have had a few requests for locations to get it at.

Very good tutorial. A simple but very efective board, and very playable. Score: tutorial 10 + board 6

I did make templates for some burnt out trees, I just have not gotten around to making them yet. Once I do I plan on adding them to the article.

Would looks very cool if it is fielded with well painted modells, like salamanders, khorne daemons, an so on...
It is a very nice article, have good feeling of the board but it is a littlebit emty, need some details, looks bit boaring without these.
I would take here some partitially burned branches to make some new surface, some altars from styrofoam with marks of the gods.
Thanks for sharing, sorry for me,too long comment.

Some nice techniques in there - and relatively quick. Could have done a couple more things to make the overall effect a bit more effective. Otherwise - this would be a nice board to play on.

You are correct. I will add that into the text though. Thanks!

If one was extra clever, one would make the boards "line up" in multiple ways to further increase the number of configurations (8 layouts from 3 boards, I believe). It looks like you've done this but I'm not positive.

Thanks for reminding me. I added the estimated prices in.

One thing, for which you have not made any detail, is the cost of materials.
