My usual go to for anti-summoner ops is summoning Abominations in close to the summoner. Abominations are easy to summon, and can use your opponents summoned models against them since most of them enter play wounded and relatively close to the summoner. Since Abominations strip suits from cast actions, and practically all summons require a suit, you can effectively neuter a summoner simply by moving an abomination within 2" of it. You won't necessarily prevent all summoning this way, but you will make it expensive in terms of stones and cards which will slow it down.

Oh, and a little video commentary on my boards. 20160806-203146.mp4

Much work was done today. I poured the "water" for the fountain, completed my wrecked carts and finished some trees in overgrown planter boxes. Lets start with the planter boxes. The trees are 4" blood elms from Scenic Express. Like everything on the board I wanted them to be modular so I build bases for them. The bases have been modeled as planter boxes overgrown with vegetation. I basically brush primed these black, applied a dark grey base, then highlighted three steps finishing with a white dry brush. The green vegetation in the planters adds a much needed splash of color contract to the boards. Next the wagons. The streets are these giant sight lines. I needed to break that up so I bought a couple of MDF wagon kits from 4 Grounds. I wrecked the kits, and attached them to rubble bases. I also added a "cloth" cover to the covered wagon. That is 1 ply from a 2 ply paper towel soaked in a 1:1 mix of white glue and water. It's now rigid and should hold up ok to use. These should offer a pretty good break to sight lines across the board and add some much needed hard cover. Finally we have the fountain. I purchased some Envirotex Lite crystal clear resin on advice from the Resin Jedi group on Facebook. I added some clump flock to to the inside of the fountain. After mixing I added a little Army Painter green tone ink then poured it in. Once it had set up a little I added some more foliage on top. To me it looks like algae (but YMMV). I did not check that the middle section was totally sealed (as it was a separate piece) and consequently had some leakage. Still it turned out ok. I'll be adding some more to get a ripple effect this week some time. Finally we have picks of the layout so far...

Been a little while. Was prepping for my GenCon trip, but then it feel through. So, back to terrain. This is one of the centerpieces for my board. The top of the fountain is a Weeping Angel Christmas ornament, the fountain base is from Puppets War miniatures.
