Painted THMiniatures Terrain

I painted up the THMiniature terrain that arrived last month. The process took four paint sessions after priming. I decided to go with "tabletop" quality at the moment...it would take one to two more sessions to really highlight and texture the pieces totally.

I used Krylon Camouflage Brown spray for primer, a Citadel white spray for under-painting, and a mixture of craft paints and Reaper/PP3 colours to paint. I try to avoid using "minature" paint on projects like this, mostly because of the size of area to be painted, but a Reaper "Wood Brown" traid worked well for the, well, wood.

Here are some pics:











Obviously, the apprentice and I used the pieces for a game of Warmachine. It was a 25-point Legion vs. Protectorate game using the "Close Quarters" scenario. The apprentice won the game through Control points in the third turn. I'm finding the speed and ranged attacks of the Legion difficult to counter with the Protectorate, who are a faction I've been trying out. I feel a need to drift back to Khador. Giant Steam-powered Russian Robots!

The pieces painted up easily and with good detail. My original review stands: these are a solid four-star product. Here's a link to the company's website: http://thminiatures.com/. You should check these guys out.
