A few weeks ago I primed and painted up my game table. Since my terrain will mostly be urban rubble and city fight I decided to paint the table a mottled grey. I figured that if I decide to play on a different surface I could get a mat or other overlay to cover the table. The hazzard lines mark the border of the 4'x6' playing surface. Not shown are small markings for a 4'x4' table. Since the table is 4'x8' this gives a little extra room for books and removed figures without distracting from the game!

The table was primed with and then I used sponge roller (with large holes) to roll on a few coats of standard grey housepaint that I picked up for $1 at Lowes. After the table was grey I took 2 cans of krylon black spray paint and misted the table. I then re-rolled the grey leaving most of the black showing, repeating the process over and over again until the color shifts were more blended. I then took a poly spray and sealed the table. Overall total cost was about $17 maybe a bit more if I didn't already have the rollers.

For some reason the light reflection on the full table picture is throwing odd shadows over the table. The texture on the table looks like the detail picture.

The last few days I spent putting together the Urban Rubble bases for my 20 tactical marines I am painting. Here is a picture of the first 10 completed. Monday I finished putting together the last 10 and primed them black. Yesterday I started painting them. Hopefully I will finish them up tonight. I am a bit behind and I will be out of town until Sunday so it looks like I will miss the first few weeks of the Fall of Medusa Campaign as I struggle to quickly finish these guys!

First 10 bases:
