War Father Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey Everyone! I was wondering if you guys could take a look at this base I just did. I'm thinking of doing all my sisters like this but I'm not sure if it looks 100% like shes walking in fall/autumn. Thanks for any thoughts! http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj559/houndarchon/Warhammer%2040k/0530132316.jpg http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj559/houndarchon/Warhammer%2040k/0530132316a.jpg http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj559/houndarchon/Warhammer%2040k/0530132317.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276246-sisters-with-fallautumn-weather-bases-new-leaves-in/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 It's really hard to say, pics are so fuzzy but the colors look autumnish. Maybe tone the green down a bit. This is just my opinion.

Hellios Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 If you are interested, it is possible to get tiny model leaves (for train sets and the like) which come in a variety of colors... Including red/orange/brown leaves for fall. --EDIT-- I'm not sure what you've done... The picture is pretty blurry.

Naminé Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I would advise going with some dark brown for the autumn effect; at the moment it looks a bit too bright. Also Helio's suggestion is a good one.

Flaxis Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 You could have a look at the root & branch round bases from www.fantascape.com also if you want some inspiration. I think the bases you have there are a little bright for a gothic style world, but the picture qulaity is not helping to be sure on that.

War Father Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Sorry for the bad pictures. Old Cell Phone. =/ I'll try and find the wifes camera later hoping to get a better picture. I'm using sample flock from a hobby store that uses the flock for modle trees, trains, etc... @Flaxis - That's a cool site. I like thier fall bases. They still show green grass and only have a few leaves.

War Father Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Okay, here is a better picture. http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj559/houndarchon/Warhammer%2040k/IMG_0716.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276246-sisters-with-fallautumn-weather-bases-new-leaves-in/#findComment-3384353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The orange flock makes it look more summery because it looks like grass. ^^; Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276246-sisters-with-fallautumn-weather-bases-new-leaves-in/#findComment-3384398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greylocke Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The orange flock makes it look more summery because it looks like grass. ^^; I agree. You need bigger flock to look like leaves. Hudson and Allen Studios makes awesome model fall foliage. Here's a link: http://www.hudsonandallen.com/scenery.html Also the bright green on the edge of the base detracts from the fall colors. Maybe paint the edge a brown or more earth tone green. Last, I would add a couple little dead sticks to complete the feel. It is really cool to see autumn basing through. Very unique.

derpasaurus Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Man, autumn bases. Cool idea! I'm considering basing my Argent Shroud army as winter, but now I'm reconsidering... hehehI agree.. some thicker flock and a darker base and you'll be in business. I like the colors, overall, though.

War Father Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Heres a model with a brown base and the same flock. http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj559/houndarchon/Warhammer%2040k/IMG_0739.jpg I found this site that sells the below leaves. I ordered some to give it a try. http://www.theenchantedgallery.com/terrarium.html http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj559/houndarchon/Warhammer%2040k/autumn-flower-soft-30ml-2050-p.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276246-sisters-with-fallautumn-weather-bases-new-leaves-in/#findComment-3385033 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it definately looks better with a brown base.

derpasaurus Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Sweeet. I may just have to steal that idea when I finally get around to basing mine..
