BUILDING A SUMMONING CIRCLE
In the dark universe of Warhammer 40,000, vile Cults of Chaos create these devices.
The circles are used to curry favour and to call the cult's patron Daemons to battle. The summoning circle is an effective and simple piece of terrain to build. You can use it for a special Witch Hunter scenario or as a centerpiece for a themed gaming table to add extra depth to your games.

CONSTRUCTION AND PAINTING
Stage 1 Cut a circular base out of hardboard and then sand the edges. Next, cut another circle out of foamcard and attach it to your hardboard base with white glue. Trim down the edges of the foamcore with your hobby knife. Use filler to smooth any gaps on the edges. |

Step 2 Using a sharp pencil, carefully draw out the design of your summoning circle. Then, using a hobby knife, cut a V-shaped groove along these lines. Apply white glue to the base's edges and sprinkle with sand. Make sure to cover all exposed foam with sand. |

Step 3 Undercoat your summoning circle with Chaos Black spray paint. Drybrush the inside of the circle with Dark Flesh, then Blood Red, and finally Fiery Orange. Drybrush the sand on the outside edge with Dark Flesh, followed by Bubonic Brown, and finally Bleached Bone. Use white glue to affix light brown static grass to areas on the outside edge. Your summoning circle is now ready for gaming. |
