That was almost the simplest part: plot the lines on a plastic foil, attach it to the board and spray it white or black. Needs around 2-3 cans of paint.

A plastic foil? What do you mean?

What he means is that you cut the template for the lines and then spray through it i think.
Leaves the lines on the board.

That´s how I did mine, but it wasn't plastic foil, it was cardboard!!! :D

I've made a basic BB pitch for my current Chaos team. All I did was grab a GW battle mat, cut it into 4 (which ironicly is enough for 4 BB boards) and stuck it on some wood. I then painted the lines on the pitch, made a scoreboard an viola! Job done.

I'm going Rotter's mad at the moment and I want to eventually make a home stadium for the Nurgles Rotters. Does anyone have any idea's suggestions?

While I'm waiting for the team I'm working on the coaching staff :)

Yes vorner23 you are right. We used self-adhering plastic foil and were lucky to get our hands on a plotter which made the lines perfect.

But other methods like the cardboard will also do fine. After all the fun you have with the game counts and not the straightness of your markings.

Follow this link to see the production work in progress. It's the page of a friend of mine who is really good at making stadiums - http://bloodbowl.beckerf.de/html/stadiums.html.

I want to tell everyone that I used cardboard because I couldn't bafford anything else, but the lines are very straight indeed!!

So, does anyone have a template avaliable for the board sections anywhere? It'd save a heck of a lot of time if I can find one!
