Celtic_cauldron Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 All units are taken into account. Once again your bases are full of promises! So far, this current session is dominated by the Green Skins who are performing an outstanding work (and their minis are fantastic to be honest). Our own effort is more moderate but we are gaining positions against the Aeldari, notably in your sector thanks to you and a Sister of ours. Nonetheless, everything is under control and we should be fine. Death to the False Emperor!!! Celtic_Cauldron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldrick Shadowblade Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 So, I'll start to put together my basing tutorial here. I'll have a few different versions but the materials are all fairly simple. All the materials are fairly standard: hobby knife, cutters, cork board, a few different sizes of beads, assorted bitz (depending on your warzone theme) and tacky glue.

Celtic_cauldron Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 First unit to be completed: 20 Poxwalkers in Hive Enmerkar, aka sector 4. Currently painting 9 Berserkers, 10 Terminators and a Chaos Lord for my World Eaters' army. Those Pox were really a pain in the... well, you know what I mean. Being back on some Astartes is really good and so much more enjoyable. Happy to this tutorial happening. That is something I will share on the main forum as your work on your bases is really appreciated by the Gilgamesh community.

Eldrick Shadowblade Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I've taken some more pictures and will add to this soon. Do you think I should add a google translation from French or assume most members are bilingual? I tried an "easy 5 step" for painting the poxwalkers and they took forever!

Eldrick Shadowblade Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Let me say, they look very nice, Celtic! Here is the next part of the base tutorial: 1. Use a pen to trace the shape of the base on some Cork Board. 2. Cut out the shape of the base with an X-Acto knife, or you can roughly break it out in the desired shape. 3. I break the full circle in half with a slightly larger bottom half and slightly smaller top half. Use tacky glue to glue to base and to each piece of cork board like this: 4. To add depth and variation, try to stagger your pieces of cork to give an illusion of height. 5.To add strength to the tacky glue, i also add in my hobby glue (Zap-a-Gap) into the mixture. This makes a very solid and permanent bond to the base and the cork board. 6. Here is where you can any number of things to vary your bases. The story I am trying to convey with my Death Guard Army is invading the trench lines of a defending Imperial Army. It should be noted that I have no intention of actually playing another game of 40k again. These bases represent my efforts to put a cool looking army in a display case. You might want to just cut out some steps for competitive play. Let your goals override anything I lay out here. I consulted many different sources to see what I could try to recreate. I used Pintrest and Google Images heavily for this effort. There are literally thousands of photos you can use to caputre for inspiration. If anyone wants to check out my boards and pins feel free. https://www.pinterest.com/proflee77/ 7. I choose a Trench theme and this is what the army will begin to explore throughout the various models. 8. I laid out the trench boards in a two-to-one pattern similiar to this: You don't need to go through the trouble as many trenches are probably hastily assembled and don't always have the luxury of meticulous designers. 9. For larger bases, I try to add some sand bags and skulls to increase the feeling of a warzone being overrun.

Celtic_cauldron Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Impressive that such a result can be achieved with techniques which seem so simple. Thanks for this tutorial Brother. It will definitely enrich both this topic and our forum. Do not worry about the translation as I will do it myself: quite a certain number of us can speak both languages but I will translate the whole article nonetheless.

Eldrick Shadowblade Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I'll add my technique for toxic bases as well. I think I forgot the final part. I will add in tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldrick Shadowblade Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Toxic Bases: A few friends have asked about my toxic bases as well. Follow the same techniques as the previous tutorial, but instead of laying out boards for trenches, leave some blank space on the surface of the base to create your toxic goop. Here's the method I used to produce these bases. I'll show you my methods and something I discovered recently which makes the process A LOT easier! First, here are some additional materials, I may not have done a great time covering in the first version of the tutorial: You can find these beads in any number of craft stores or even a Walmart (I know... I know... I hate supporting them, too.) Alternatively, you could roll up a bunch of different sizes of greenstuff and cut them in half, but this could be time consuming.... and boring. Again, Tacky Glue will be your friend here. You can't overdo it with the glue and it will fill the tiny holes in the bead to make the illusion of proper bubbling radioactive goo (or even lava if there are some Khorne / Blood Angels among your ranks.) For the larger beads, you can use a hand saw to cut them in half, or some wire cutters and chop them from the middle. we'll be using a lot of tacky glue so a perfect cut isn't necessary. I also have young daughters, so i discovered the "BEDAZZLING SECTION" of the local craft store recently... you can imagine my horror.... that is until i came across these gems! Ready to go half-globes that i could glue right to the base! They save a ton of time, and once you prime and paint, no one will ever no they are designed for a young girl's purse! I generally lay the cork board down and make sure the figure will have a place to stand before planning out the boils. Other than that, just be creative where you place the bubbles and make sure to mix up the sizes to get the roiling surface your desire: Here is a shot of 20 or so finished bases for poxwalkers I made a while ago. You can also get creative using zombie / imperial guard bits and barrels: Some Nurgling Bases using this technique: Celtic_cauldron, Tallarn Commander and Azekai 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic_cauldron Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Ok, many things to say: - Session 25 has begun and will end by March 31st. Password is DYNAMES; - For this session I will require from you to support the main attack on the Eldar sectors. Either in sector 15 with vehicles or in sector 17 with Infantry. Now, session 24's results: CHAOS 9419IMPERIUM 13729ELDARS:1598ORKS:8547NUMBER OF SECTORS PER FACTION: CHAOS 21 = 56,8%IMPERIUM 12 = 32,4%ELDARS: 1 = 2,7%ORKS:3 = 8,1%LIBRES OU CONTESTEES: 0 = 0%CUMULATED SCORES PER FACTION:CHAOS 109850 = 46,3%IMPERIUM 85905 = 36,2%ELDARS: 15041 = 6,3%ORKS:26591 = 11,2%TOTAL SCORES:CHAOS 51,5% (+1,4%)IMPERIUM 34,3% (+1,4%)ELDARS: 4,5% (-5,6%)ORKS:9,7% (+2,9%) So now Orks are ahead...

Excessus Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Eldrick, those are some really nice bases you got going there! Have you thought of putting up some tutorials in the Forge? Celtic_cauldron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_cauldron Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Brother Excessus, May I recommend that you read back 1 or 2 pages prior to this one? Eldrick's tutorials are fully described there. I am sure he will be glad to duplicate them in the Forge but in the meantime can you still have a look a them. Celtic_cauldron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Oh I know where to find them, but I am thinking of the Frater in other areas that doesn't visit the CSM subforum. Celtic_cauldron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
