ahh that explains it :) guess you have to donthe tut on it then

[Red Skullz]

Oh my bad. Should read instead of looking at the pretty pictures ;)

[thamier]

hehe its okay, i cant tell you vow he did it, have a idea, but im sure he be willing to share ;)

[Red Skullz]

I sent him a pm but how'd you think he did it?

[thamier]

looks like he glued a few small rocks to the base, then used one of the brown texture paints from gw, then drybrushed possiblymwith one of the dry colurs a yellowish brown, finshed up by glueing gown a gras turf thingy, but not 100% sure

I'd say you're spot on about the base. Plenty of other ways to get that effect without the textured paint though.

 

Could do with some areas darkening though, around the stones and the feet.

[thamier]

i know there is alot of ways tonget similar results with alot of things, i dont use the textured bases inuses sand and glue, but to me that base really have the look of the textured paints :)

[Red Skullz]

Cheers :) I'll try my hand at it. I don't have any textured paints I think but loads of dry so I should be good.

[Leviathus]

Did I miss something guys?! :P the base is actually from a miniature company called Dark Arts Miniatures! So no texture paints and rocks used I'm afraid! :D

 

I pm'ed Red Skullz about the paint recipe but now I see what you meant ^^

Ok...here's my thoughts on the eye osl.

[...]

You often see tanks that are painted and look like they're in normal daylight. Then have these full beam headlights and vision slits glowing as if it's night.

I know it's a trend but it makes me want to smash my screen lol.

I'd totally buy tickets to that. 

 

Thamier, would you consider converting a Horus Lupercal FW mini like you did Abbadon?
