I was on Vanguard Miniatures site looking for some vehicles for one of my Epic armies and noticed some ordinance miniatures that would work for the old GW Battlefield Gothic miniature game. This is a game that I enjoyed and got into when it came out in the nineties. I have kept my fleets and still the game on occasion. As such, I still pick up the occasional model for the system. In this case, I found sets of space mines, which was something I did not have in my collection. So, I ordered them.
The sets are metal casts and come on sprues of five mines each. Each sprue comes with five mines with different high rods. Looking over the models, I decided to mount them on small square bases, with three mines per base. This gave me thirteen bases. This would be enough for most any game.
I sprayed the models with gray primer, and hit them with a black wash. I then dry brushed them with gray. I finished by painting the bases and rods black to blend with a space mat. A final spray of Krylon Dull Coat finished the job.
Now, I have some mines!
