BRASS ICON - KHORNE

SCENERY SPECIFICATIONS

Difficulty level: Medium - Difficult
Materials Used: MDF, Styrofoam, paper clips, wood glue, and sand.

The Brass Icon is a little easier to make, due to the fact that it doesn't require the use of the epoxy putty. If you want to get your hands dirty but don't want to dive into the deep end right away, I suggest you try this piece first. The construction is fairly straightforward – the most difficult part being the sculpting of the icon.

This piece of scenery can also be used in your games of Warhammer as a herdstone or monolith.

CONSTRUCTION
	1	Cut the MDF into a nearly circular shape with a band saw. If you don't have a band saw, use a hacksaw or handheld jigsaw. Do not use these power tools if you are young and have no parental supervision!
	2	Bevel the edges to a 45-degree angle with a belt sander. If you don't have a belt sander, try a large file.
	3	Draw a Khornate icon on a piece of paper.
	4	Transfer the drawing of the icon to 1" thick foam by laying the paper template over the foam and punching through at the corners with a pin or tack of some sort. You are just trying to mark the boundaries.
	5	Redraw the icon on the foam with a felt-tipped pen by connecting the dots you just made.
	6	Use an X-acto blade and a retractable hobby knife to cut away unwanted pieces of the foam to give shape to the icon.
	7	Flip the piece of foam over and repeat steps 3 through 6.
	8	Using an old rounded pencil eraser, push divots into the foam to create a texture similar to that of beaten brass.
	9	Using thicker foam (2" variety), hack out a rough, random pattern to simulate craggy stone. Try to disguise the rectangular shape of the foam. Also try digging into the foam with the retractable knife to pop out large chunks.
	10	Pin and glue the icon to the rock using wood glue and two pieces of paper clip cut to about 1" each.
	11	Glue the rock and Khornate icon to the MDF base.
	12	Glue foam offcuts (from carving of the rock) around the base of the pillar. Flock the base with sand and gravel as necessary.
PAINTING
der="0">	1	Basecoat the foam with Chaos Black paint. Do NOT use spray paint for this step as it contains aerosol that dissolves Styrofoam.
	2	Spray the flocked base with Chaos Black Spray Primer once the Chaos Black paint on the foam is dry.
