Update on Painting the Town

Work on the home front and my home on the work front finally slacked off enough to let me paint up two more buildings for the Pocketmunda terrain board.  When done, this board should work just find for the scenarios included in the Tomorrow’s War main rulebook as well....

Time to Take Out the Trash

More “Look what I painted,” for your dining and dancing pleasure.  Khurasan has a nice line of street level terrain.  This is two packs, two dumpsters for a buck a piece and two packs of drums at fifty cents per drum.  Normally this is the sort of thing I’d...

Three Bridges

Put some color on three bridges for Notromunda this week, and they sure are bright.  Starting to worry that my pulp sci-fi urban terrain might wind up being downright garish. I think that the red pearl stickers help bring these together, even if the primary colors I’m using clash...

Tomorrow’s War: Odds and Ends

Got a couple of points to add to yesterday’s Tomorrow’s War post.  They didn’t make the final cut because the AAR was getting a bit long.  Neither is enough to justify a full blog post, but they are each perhaps worth a brief mention. The Shroom House You might...

This Blue and Pleasant Land

All of these trees set me back by a dollar.  That’s one dollar for the whole lot.  Don’t you just love wargamer swap meets.  Shame they only happen twice a year around these parts. Normally, these are glued together to form four tall trees suitable for 28mm figures.  What...

Rooftop Scatter

Before we get to today’s scatter terrain, let’s review, shall we?  Your humble editor has been whiny about how ‘dark’ his tabletop looks.  For once, he decided to run a test paint job before getting too deep into painting the small city’s worth.  Here’s how that worked out: Still...

Barrels – The Quintessential Scatter Terrain

It just wouldn’t be a miniature wargame without a few barrels on the table.  Check that one off the list: Nothing too novel here.  Those are all electronic doo-hickeys ripped out of an old and irritating childrens’ electronic piano.  They are glued to a base for added weight and...

Brightening Up the Place

Getting out of the GW all-dark-and-gothy-look is proving harder than anticipated.  I’m just so used a dark palette that my work keeps ending up not nearly as bright as anticipated.  There is one way to brighten up the table though – lights.  These look like streetlights, don’t they.  I...

The Old Park

In retrospect, this park isn’t very pulpy.  At some point, that statue of a long forgotten hero of the DPRG will have to come down for a nice art-deco style sculpture.  For now, though, a finished terrain piece is worth two in the “someday” column. The real reason that...

Pocket Battlefield

Calling this roughly 2-foot by 3-foot mat “pocket” stretches the definition, but it surely is portable. Nothing really special here, just a heavy canvas bolt of cloth dusted with three different dark colors of spray paint.  Although, I’d be remiss if I didn’t give a lot of credit to...
