Antarius Posted Friday at 06:13 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 06:13 AM I think you're right on the base colour. My "default" look is darkish browns for bases, but I also think that might be too close to the carapace, colour-wise. Anyway, here's some cute little critters and an experiment on the base - the crackle paste reacts a bit strangely when you mix in colours - it looks super coloured at first, but dries very desaturated and almost colourless. But it does seem to adhere much better to the base now, so I think priming the base and mixing in a little paint with the crackle paste is the way to go. I also kinda think it's a good look, colour-wise. Like they've started sucking all the nutrients out of the soil + I think the (lack of) colour contrasts well with the minis (as mentioned, a darker, more brown ground colour might look too much like their carapaces, which would be neat for camo, but less neat for looking good on the tabletop).

Firedrake Cordova Posted Friday at 03:28 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:28 PM I'm wondering if a light (near-white) or strong yellow would work for the eyes?

Dr_Ruminahui Posted Friday at 03:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:54 PM (edited) I like your basing colours from your experiment - I think the colours on the right are just right - enough brown/tan to make the models look like they belong on them, desaturated and with enough gray to make them stand out. And I do like the grayish streaks and blotches you see on the top right of the basing experiment - looks very natural to me.
