jabbawox Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hey, as this is my first Post (yes this is my first after about a year!) i decided that i would do a how-to on bases as they are a fun little thing to do :P overall it should look something along the lines of this, Demo base oh and also, i don't use GW paints so it make look different To start of you will need: -A base -Leather brown paint(or similar) -Sand colour paint(or similar) -PVA Glue -Dried mixed herbs -Mortar and pestle(optional) Okay, let's get started :D Step 1 Get your base (bit obvious, but still) Step 2 Take your leather brown (or similar) and base-coat the base It should look like this _;)_:P_ Step 3 Take your sand colour paint (or similar) and, with a small amount on the brush, stipple it onto the base till it looks like this Light coat Step 4 Now is a good time to add your figure if it isn't on already. Add glue in small patches around the figure and base Gluey Time for the secret ingredient 0_0 Step 5 Take the dried herbs and crumble them up a bit so that they are finer (or use a mortar and pestle and grind them down even further, i find this gives better effect), then sprinkle it on to the glued parts. Always add more than neccessery to ensure that the patches are covered Step 6 Lightly tap off exess herb and Voila! your Simple, yet nice smelling, base is done :D Finished figure Here are some other models with the same base style Other model 1 Other model 2 before any complaints come in about quality of pictures, i just want to say that i had to do this with my i-pod because my camera is out of battery :( Anyway, hope this helps :D Jabbawox Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249257-simple-easy-basing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabbawox Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have recently noticed just how bad the pictures are on, this. I Knew they were bad before, but not by how much! Here are some better final pics for you http://imageshack.us/a/img443/9159/dscf9264.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img833/7930/n001s.jpg The models aren't the best in the world, but this is for bases...

huntingbane Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 That is pretty cool and your opponents will wonder why they smell so nice! And plus would it work if you sprinkled a bit on their feet like they've been dragging them along?

jabbawox Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 having not tried that myself due to lack of patience, i wouldn't know, however it sounds like a good idea :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249257-simple-easy-basing/#findComment-3557000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
