Step 7:
Now we will go back to the boards that have dried and work on getting some “color” onto them. You will want the large brush, black and white paint and some newspaper or other surface to mix the paint on. First, mix up a medium grey and drybrush* the boards and your mobile terrain pieces this grey.
*Drybrushing is a painting technique of wiping most of the paint off a brush, so as you paint the brush will only leave paint on the raised surfaces, as there is a minimal amount of paint on the brush being used.
Next, lighten the grey paint with a little more white and paint the edges and some patches on the boards and moveable pieces with this. Then take an even lighter shade and get just the edges of the lava rivers and the movable terrain pieces.
Now all the boards and pieces should be finished with as much grey and white as you like.

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.
