Paint Bench: Repainting Desert terrain to Osgilith or Gondor terrain

I decided to repaint some of my desert terrain buildings that I got from Art of War Terrain a few years back. I have some Osgilith ruins that Art of War Terrain made, and some of the desert buildings matched the Osgilith buildings, except they were desert colors. I simply repainted them both to match each other. 

I am planning a large epic sized battle of Osgilith and needed some more structures to go on the table. I bought some new stone works mats from Zuzzy Miniatures to go with the Osgilith layout, as well as other things such as dungeon terrain, castle floors, etc. 

Took me a few days, but I repainted them with some dark primer grey paint and then dry/wet brushed some white house trim paint on them to bring out the detail. They look outstanding now. I have a total of 24 buildings now. I also took a bridge and cut it in half for Osgilith.

Starting the repaint, what they looked like before the new paint jobs.

I took one of the bridges and cut it in half for the destroyed bridge in Osgilith.

Half way done!!

 The color the terrain was before painting, also the osgilith ruins were a lighter grey color previously. I repainted them all to match. I left these buildings alone and kept them for my desert battles.

And Finished!!

Freshly new painted buildings in Gondolin, current game on my table.

I changed out the buildings on my Gondolin game, which match the terrain now.

Paint Bench: Repainting of Orthanc

I decided to repaint my solid Black Orthanc and make it look tremendously better. I dry brushed it with some primer white house paint. 

 

The 2nd Battle of Cair Andros March 26th TA 3021 (War of the Ring)

Rohan and Gondor preparing to Charge the Mordor Orcs in retreat from Cair Andros

Orcs crossing the creek caught off guard by the arrival of Rohan and Gondorian Cavalry

Figures are 28mm Scotia  Grendel (old Harlequin LOTR line, BTD LOTR line) Terrain mat by MegaMat and the creek is by Wargamers Terrain. The trees are homemade. Structure by PMC Games. All miniatures painted by myself.

I got a new MegaMat in the mail this friday the grassy plains mat. It is like a giant mouse pad. I am very happy with the purchase. It is 4' x 6' and fits my table almost perfect. My coffee turned out to be almost 4' x 6', larger than I realized. 

My camera did not take very good photos, but my wives camera did, so the entire game is not recorded. However it turned out to be a draw, being that it was getting too late, and my 2 year old kept waking up, so we ended the battle. The Orcs got away.
