Kombat Kimble has four teams: Blue, Yellow, Green and Red. Each color was allocated to an appropriate Warhammer 40,000 race and sections were themed with that race. The colors were blended over the section borders to make the transition more subtle and to make the gap look less obvious.

Blue team is painted as Eldar Dire Avengers and the board edge is decorated with Warlock symbols. The warp game is heavily tilted to minimize vertical dimension. This allows players to reach the dome more easily and makes storage easier. The space is black cloth (fabric of space ;-P) which was airbrushed to present a transition from an Eldar cosmic Webway into solid ground.

Green is Mean. Orcs are naturally the Green team. The board section is quite traditional with green flocking and mud. The edge is decorated with Fantasy Battle orcs' shield faces.

Fire and Brimstone. Chaos makes a natural Red Team. Lots of red and flocking painted as lava. The edge is decorated with skull and bone bits from undead figures. Other undead bits were used to theme the section.

Yellow Team. Space Marines are a great "race", because they can be pretty much of any color, so the remaining color, yellow, was filled with the assistance of the Imperial Fists Space Marine Chapter. The board is a desert themed supply depot. The edge is decorated with some latin as is traditional for Space Marines: "Sic hoc adfixum in obice legere potes, et liberaliter educatus et nimis propinquus ades." I could translate it for you, but that would defeat the meaning of the saying.

The center parts of each section are filled with typical gear for the Team in question.

The Chaos section's Pool of Desperation is filled with water effect resin and colored with red and mud inks, but the depth effect is hard to bring out in a picture.

The Eldar Warp Gate has soul stones that portray the team colors as in the end, the Eldar are behind everything if you dig deep enough. Soul stones were sculted from the Green Stuff.
