UltramarineTERROR814 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have my army painted and the decals are on. I have nothing based yet. What I need to know is, should I flock the bases before or after I apply the varnish?

Gurth Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I do that before applying varnish, so the varnish helps keep the material stuck to the base. Also, you may want to edit your post to change the subject line to something that reflects your question … Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253592-when-should-i-flock-the-bases/#findComment-3077312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbringer Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Straight Away. Just do it and varnish after ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253592-when-should-i-flock-the-bases/#findComment-3080702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 +1 for flocking before applying varnish. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253592-when-should-i-flock-the-bases/#findComment-3080715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Agreed, I find the earlier you do the base the better for painting too! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253592-when-should-i-flock-the-bases/#findComment-3080725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker8 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 It's all personal preference and based on what kind of bassing materials you're using and the type of varnish and only you can make the final call. WOrd of advice, be careful with spraying anthing over static grass. Best case you'll get the grass clumped to gether with little beads here and there, worst case the will be some loose static grass now scattered over the mini and stuck in the varnish.
