     Water Bases for Warcasters



    (All paints used are P3 paints)




    Step 1) Make the cork rock, level the base with green stuff, assemble and check the placement of the mini and glue it down the cork:


    Bart is just standing on the cork not glued down it is easier to paint them separately.



    Step 2) Prime the base, Dry Brush the Rock and base coat the area for the water with Menoth White Highlight:





    Step 3) Apply and sculpt the water effect (i used Vallejo Water Effect Atlantic Blue):

    Let dry for 24 hours then dry brush the water




    Step 4) Drybrush with Arcane Blue and Marrow White and the base is done and ready for the mini!

      It looks like the water effects stuff shrunk and "sharpened" its edges by itself during the curing process, is this true? If so, then it could be a very interesting product to play around with

      yes the water effect makes the sharp edges as it drys giving it great texture.

      It looks good, but really when water splashes against a rock like that the colour is white with only a tinge of blue. If you used this alternative colour scheme it would greatly improve the model.

    A box workstation for painting: design process and bodging carpentry

    A box workstation for painting: design process and bodging carpentry

    This is an article about what I did, in the hope that some of it may be useful to you, but it's not an article meant to tell you what to do. It's meant as an encouragement for you to think logically about problem solving, and to think sensibly through a project to end up with something that serves your needs well, but has not cost you a fortune in money or time. The aim is to get the job done, and then get back to your painting and gaming. The project here is to build a box for paints and equipment, but most of its principles will be equally applicable to any other project in wood, such as gaming tables and scenery.

    Throughout the article I'll use the format of picture first, followed... read more

    First Article- Simple Basing

    So I was working on the base for my trollblood guy and I though I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to bring you guys our first article on basing. I was going for a pretty simple base with a bit of a marshy feel. So lets get to the fun stuff! Ok so to start off I made a mass of milliput in the rough shape of a rock. At this point you can't really make it look... read more
