refuse Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 With SH:AoD comming thought we would go over some basing. I had started putting screening on bases to imply netting. Kind of like this (not my minis) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/Catterjee/40K/WIP/CC/sonsbases.jpg Caterjee's minis Then I had this idea (I thought original) to do some See through bases. Shared the thoughts with the Mods. Daeother (always a step ahead) showed me his bases: http://www.xs4all.nl/~daeothar/FieryLions/...tures/Bases.jpg http://www.xs4all.nl/~daeothar/FieryLions/.../SideBySide.jpg So I made some see through ones: http://blog.emperorschildren.net/uploads/seethroughbases.serendipityThumb.jpg http://blog.emperorschildren.net/uploads/bases.jpg But now we see Owl Moon Guy running with the idea, and Joker has come in with some stunning bases. So lets get some other's people's bases (yes there are a couple already here) and ideas for bases.

-Q- Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 You all have knocked it out of the park. I'm usually full of more ideas than time (or sense?) but I'm stumped on anything different that you guys haven't covered. Only unique thing I can think is that Hobbes will step up and do little lights embedded in the floor like safety walking lights in Airplanes or whatnot. :lol: I'm probably going to try to find diamond plate and do that. Maybe with some grill with wiring below but I'm not sure yet. The 'Stealer below the grate is just perfection in my eyes.

ironloki Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Nice stuff but im not going for Space Hulk bases :lol: as they are to fit in with the rest of my army. Still lovely to watch those nice bases though - Complement the models well.

Ahmato Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Ok lets see if I can get this across, without sounding like a blitering idiot. So all the cool idea's have gone? Well here's a link where you can get inspired from >Here< Also, perhaps think beyond the base, why should there be a base, as long as it is the right size, it could be represented as anything, A terminator standing on a space latch, crashing through a grate, that sorta thing. Maybe something could be done to the terminator's to make them more Space Hulkish, to complement the bases, have one forced against a a side wall, a terminator crawling through an air vent (ok, thats a bit farfetched but you get the idea)... Also, what is there in a space hulk, aside from on the floor? Maybe the thing has changed gravitational centre to the walls, so have a terminator walking on what looks to be a wall with perhaps a port hole in it, overlooking the universe. Terminator's aren't the most inconspicuous things, but maybe one is peering around a corner, perhaps one is setting up a demolition charge on a power generator, while his comrades cover him. Perhaps a burst pipe leads to all sorts of gases to be released, perhaps model this with light use of cotton, or similar? Chances are the Terminator's are fighting Tyranids, so is it not likely that there taint has affected the ship somehow? Make liberal use of Tyranid parts of generators/pipes, perhaps make them look organic or are secreting chemicals? Just some ideas for ya, remember where you heard it first, :wub: Ahmato.

aretziel Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 the 'space hulk' games were only SM and Nids if I recal ... but on the same hand ... orcs use hulks as well to transport and it could be that you could put 3 'teams' in a large hulk ... nids, and 2 others, maybe SM and Eldar for example that investigate the hulk ... well, hmm, this was a base thread so sorry for the drift from topic :wub: and about my post regarding a Space Hulk topic ... didn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87746-basing-the-space-hulk-way/#findComment-1013765 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicorex Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I would say most of us get it from Model stores, Train stores carry it, and some general hobby places.

Dominar_Mortis Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 looks like the compression packing tape that needs to be heat seared or clamped to "tie off", similar to the stuff roadside assistance workers use to breakinto your car if you lock your keys in.
