ChrisSpaceWolves Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Does this base look stupid or is it ok? http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m339/ChrisMBianchi/100_6400.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207277-stupid-base-or-looks-ok-you-make-the-call/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

njm3 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Um... at least it doesn't have a little heart with an arrow through it on it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207277-stupid-base-or-looks-ok-you-make-the-call/#findComment-2472295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSpaceWolves Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 I asked because I don't know if I like it or not.... I cant make up my mind if I like it and I built it... I guess I should change it but I dont know what to do with it... I want him up higher than a normal marine so he sticks out some but I have no ideas....

Pigeons Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 the problem is it looks different than the model...but if you try to paint it to make it look more...alien...and it just ends up looking worse, you can't go back to how it is now.

njm3 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 my thought is "what the heck would a marine be doing on a tree stump?" Other than maybe giving a motivational chainsword logging speech.

ChrisSpaceWolves Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 After some suggestions from friends on another forum here is my new base for him... better? http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m339/ChrisMBianchi/100_6402.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207277-stupid-base-or-looks-ok-you-make-the-call/#findComment-2472314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyron Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Looks a lot better and with this you can hide it behind cover easier than with that tree stump. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207277-stupid-base-or-looks-ok-you-make-the-call/#findComment-2472351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxx Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 That looks better. Looks kinda like rubble. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207277-stupid-base-or-looks-ok-you-make-the-call/#findComment-2472355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSpaceWolves Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 That looks better. Looks kinda like rubble. Its actually rubble from the wall kit from GW. I think it looks 100x better. thanks to all who helped me see that the tree stump was CRAP!

lounahtic Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 it's better looking and practical... you dont wanna put ur dude on a pedestal and get him shot, that is if you're gonna play w/ him... i like elaborate bases as much as the next guy... but i put my dudes down low so i can hide behind stuff... also transporting is a b!tch with strange bases...

Inquisitor =D= Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Put a sniper scout on the stump! And of course I have to make some strange speech parody. "To arms! To arms! Oh Warriors of the Stump!" =]D[= Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207277-stupid-base-or-looks-ok-you-make-the-call/#findComment-2472371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the comments. I spent a ton of time fixing the model to make it straight for the paint work. The Black reach Captain isn't the greatest model fit wise IMHO but the sculpt is fantastic. After taking the time to bent, reposition, green stuff gaps, I didn't want to fudge the base. Thats the third base on him. the first was simply too awful to talk about. All the input helped a lot! now i have a tree stump base for my O&G fanatics too!
