Musings of the Welsh Wizzard

One of the new features in Sharp Practice 2 are deployment points which are used as entry points for your forces, players get at least 1 of these per side but some units give extra ones that add a bit of unpredictability to games (its all explained in this post from the Too Fat Lardies )

a few weeks ago I was bored and I decided to make some of these markers to use in my games, so here’s a very quick tutorial

to make some Deployment Points you’ll need the following:-

• some spare bases – I used 60mm ones but use what you have hanging around
• some stuff to put on top of the bases, I used a pile of things I had in my bits box, including
  • Some plastic barrels
  • wooden boxes
  • various packs left over from the last lot of infantry I made
  • flag poles again from some infantry boxes

to start I glued all the stuff to the bases, added some basing material (watered down wood filler and sand) and once it was dried I sprayed it all brown

then its just a simple case of painting them all and adding some flock

I think this took about an hours work in total and they great on the table top
