You want to play a minature game? Then you need minatures, that's obvious! Yet - almost as important as your gang of wild west gunfighters, your pack of orcs or your Spartan Hoplite army is a collection of terrain pieces to play the game. While you may start with pieces of coloured felt representing woods, hills and rivers, most of us miniature gamers are looking upon terrain pieces not only as a necessary part to play the game but also as a means to enhance the visual appearance of it. A nice looking battlefield populated by beautifully painted minatures sets the icing on the cake of an exciting game:
For my Triumph! games with 15mm historical miniatures I have found Time Cast Models offering unpainted terrain pieces made of flexible latex. They have fields, rough ground, marshes, ponds/lakes and paddy field pieces. I have got me a set of rough ground pieces and I want to show you how quick and easy they were to paint and how nicely they look on the battlefield:

this is how the raw pieces look from above |

on the underside you can see they are made of latex material |
|
Painted with a base layer of earth brown |
|
drybrushed for a 1st highlight |
|
drybrushed for a 2nd highlight |
|
stones picked out in a grey base colour and drybrushed |
|
bushes painted in dark green and drybrushed |
|
grass flock added |

AntwortenLöschenThis is correct, dbajuri. The topmost picture ist of a Sharp Practice game in 28mm. Next one shows figures for Dux Brittanniarum in 15mm. The third ist of a Triumph! game in 15mm.
AntwortenLöschenYour pieces of rough terrain look nice, especially with the grass flock. Cheers, Karl
