Mid-Nor bases?

[Chrispy]

Okay, my bout with my GD entries are over! That means I can get back to the stuff that I want to do for myself. I\'ve got almost every blister from the Mid-Nor dwarves (except Malhel and the 3rd Harvesters.. and the Resin Satue.. but that thing\'s worth more than it\'s weight in gold). So I was just thinking the other day how to do their bases?

See, Mid-Nor dwarves live in caves and underground, so I originally planned on a smooth cave surface or lava coming from rocks, but I don\'t like that. As they\'d come out to fight, I might do a regular battlefield terrain, but I want some areas flat and regular flock just isn\'t doing it for me..

So has anyone done a kind of earth/cavelike base that\'s worked well? I\'d hate to leave them bare, and I think my only option may be sculpting milliput bases.

I really liked this idea...

I hesitate to offer advice to a personage of your rank and experience, especially as I am sure you must have seen this article already:

It really intrigued me however, and I thought I might be able to adapt it to some particular style bases I had in mind.
I thought it might give the opportunity for a cross-over of worlds - an underlying terrain with a cracked clay \'motif\'.

What\'s scary about that base, though, is that \'s what it looks like around here most of the time...

Subconsciously...?

Could that be part of the attraction of the Mid Nor Dwarves...?

Sorry. I\'m a psychologist. I can\'t help it.

Are you saying everyone from El Paso is stitched together and has given their bodies to demons?

 

[finn17]

Couldn\'t say..

I think Chrispy should answer that one...

No, that would mean a higher per captia IQ, which others don\'t have...

Interesting note, though: When the guys at Confederation Du Dragon Rouge figured out I lived in El Paso, they wanted to know if the T**ty Twister (From Dusk Till Dawn) actually existed and if I went there...
I said \"Oh, yeah, I go down there and stake a couple vamps everyt chance I get\" ....

As for the desert base: Mid-Nor dwarves prefer caves because of their cooler climate, that way they don\'t have to change their skins as often.. also why I don\'t wanna do a lava base..

Not the image I had in mind...

I thought about using it to create a cracked effect like a dryish riverbed. Where I come from that would be a damp environment \'cos it bl**dy well rains all the time. Course where you come from it would be exceedingly dry.
