The plan is to make a Warhammer chess board. However, as you can imagine, that will be an expensive endevour for sure. The plan is to have the pieces/ minis sit inside of the base, carry case style. So far though, all that is complete is the carving of the actual board. It's a few year old actually, but I recently dug it out for reference, and though I would share it.

Damn that chess board looks great!
looking great as CH says. i made a version yonks ago and used empire and undead figures for the pieces.
That does look good, Theomar :D
Is it carved into or not, the picture is playing trickes on me
also, will half the squares be washed with a black ink to destinguish the white and black ones?
looks great btw, what are you think for as pieces?
Yes it is carved in.
I'm still mad as hell at my bandmates because they made a chessboard for our accordionist (she's a very skilled player and works as a seond mate on an international cargo ship so has PLENTY of long dreary hours at sea in which to play) where everybody sculpted a few figures each and they "forgot" to ask me - the only sculptor in the band - for a contribution :tantrum: :tantrum:
Still have dreams of making one some day. I'm a lousy chessplayer though so motivation is a bit low.
This looks awesome.
I was thinking of doing grey based squares and tan based squared, kind of a granite vs sandstone.
Yes it is carved into the foam.
I was thinking Brettonians for one side, maybe dark elves, high elves, or Empire for the other. I want both sides to have shields to paint on.
I was thinking white shields on the brets, with the sillouttes of the chess piece on the shields. Can't firgure what to do for rooks though...
