  1. Hail Brothers! I love the rapier weapons platform, I currently have 3 laser destroyers and I'm getting some of the solar quad mortars (As I don't like the Marine quad/thunderfire ones, I mean look at them, they're amazing!). My question is what do you base them on? They don't have bases, like some vehicles I guess. But that feels a little odd to me. I've stuck the laser destroyers on box dread bases, but I've realised that in ZM rules, if it can't fit through the gap, it can't go! obviously I don't want my favourite gun carriages to get stuck in the middle of a boarding action, so I'm looking at alternative bases. I'm thinking of the 74mm x 42mm oval bases, that some of the AoS mounts use (Stormcast Palladors for ref, as I have a couple about). Has anyone come across this before? Do you even care about the base size? Cheers
  2. I have some of the old GW lush type grass and want to use this in developing a very grassy basing scheme - not the more patched affair you usually see but rather predominately grass, something you might imagine on a Maiden World. Obviously it can't be 100% grass as that will look weird, I have some 6mm flowers to spread around and can look at little stones and the like for rocks to spice it up - I'm stumped on what goes under the grass. I don't want it to be completely flat or look lazy by going straight on the base, but I can't figure out what will work. I've thought about some modelling sand but it might make the grass appear too high next to the model? Or should I be looking at one of the texture paints? Any help would be appreciated, all the more so with examples and such

    bases

    From the album: The Black Hand of Melanchthon

    Bases for my initial Night Lords 30k army - basic GW/Citadel sand flock with GF9 rocks and GW/Citadel skulls. Primed/basecoated with Zandri Dust spray (GW), washed with Agrax Earthshade (GW), dry-brushed with Tyrant Skull (GW). Rims done in Battlefield Brown (P3).

    need to be cleaned up and they look great
  6. From the album: tactical squads & lieutenant

    well the unit came with three sprues and i have 1.5 left after basing the unit
  7. G'day lovely ladies and gents of BC, Out of shear curiosity, what are everyone's favourite basing techniques / schemes? I personally love cracked sidewalk style bases made with a combination of green stuff rollers and citadel technical paints. Share your favourites and the techniques you use to achieve them! Cheers! Oh and photos are fun too, throw some in for inspiration to others :D

    Flight base for a future project, and an 80mm clay base.

    Tutorial: Bases 11

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    So that's how to build custom bases out of leftover sprue and putty! I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions.

    Tutorial: Bases 10

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    It doesn't matter if you hit underlying sprue - it carves away just as easily as the millistuff, no worries.

    Tutorial: Bases 09

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    You can also use sandpaper to help shape and smooth out the base, if so desired (I haven't done so with this one but oh well).

    Tutorial: Bases 08

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    Let everything dry again! Preferably overnight at least. Once it's dry, you can start carving parts away to further refine the shape of the base and remove any leftover, stray fingerprints.

    Tutorial: Bases 07

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    It also helps to wet the feet of the model and press it into the millistuff while it's still soft, to leave an impression of where the feet/whatever should go. Some of the water used to keep the model from sticking to the base is still visible here.

    Tutorial: Bases 06

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    Now's a good time to make sure your model fits properly on the base - if not, adjust as necessary!

    Tutorial: Bases 05

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    Here's the base completely covered with millistuff and roughly shaped.

    Tutorial: Bases 04

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    Keep on building up the millistuff! Remember, it doesn't have to be particularly neat at this point. Use water to help smooth surfaces out and remove any fingerprints.

    Tutorial: Bases 03

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    When everything's dry enough to no longer move around, start spreading on more millistuff, roughly shaping the base as you go.

    Tutorial: Bases 02

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    Trim any stray sprue bits down, and fill in any large gaps with either millistuff or smaller bits of sprue. Once you've got an overall shape you're happy with, let things dry so they're not shifting around for the next part.
  19. Skits

    Tutorial: Bases 01

    From the album: Tutorial: Bases

    First step: Coat the base with a thin layer of greenstuff/milliput and smooth it out. Then start shoving sprue onto it! Rough out the general shape with various bits of sprue either glued into place, or held in place with more bits of millistuff.
  20. so i just realised if you want to put your Ad-mech onto tech bases instead of martian earth then the new necromunda bases will be just perfect for your skitarii troops to nestle on ! cheers, Mithril
  21. Hey guys, I'm just curious what you guys have been doing for the base stems on the Vertus Praetor models. As I build them I can see a potential issue for models just falling off during movement. Over time this could get worse. I really didn't think the magnet thing was going to be something I wanted to do with these, but I'm wondering what you've done, or perhaps they're fine?
  22. Edit! this post was from more then 3 years ago...they have not passed in vain! My new stuff looks more like this Still not a good level, but something I am more happy with Yes, I still have to do the bases ------------------------------------ Hi! While tring to kill time waiting for Etl's results, let me show you some results of the Etl Here on B&C you may find all kinds of marvelous armies, with legendary background, incredible conversions and unbelievable paint jobs. I, for a change, will offer you a journey into a sonic weapons / bikers heavy army who at best goes for a little more then 6 and half out of ten in all the previously nominated fields. Which, by the way, is thematically appropriate (Slaanesh) as the vote should be near 6,666666666666...etc ^^ So, (not so well taken, better to come) pics first! Most of the army (everything excluded the actual noise marines, the hellbrute and a couple of characters) was unpainted or even unconstructed before this year ETL (Thank you Semper, and all of you(and my wife), wonderful event!) A bit of background Long story short, they are posers. Nobody knows exactly how it started, but a chaos lord was a freaky fan of Fulgrim and had an obsession for sonic weaponry, even if he was not a part of the original Emperor's Children legion. So he simply sought after renegades warriors and the equipment and implants of fallen noise marines to make the warband of his dreams. More concerned with finding the perfect and loudest sound of the galaxy then to seek victory or glory he eventually became a spawn (included in the army, guess which one!). His successor was only a bit smarter, but the warband was to crumble if not for a Sorcerer (without the mark of Slaanesh) that now subtlety manipulates the new lord into doing his bidding. More story to follow And now...modeling problems: HOW SHOULD I BASE THEM?? (options are red sand, putty heavy/demonic flash bases or...well, any suggestions? What goes with pink?)
