I remember the old GW painting guides, paint it green, put some PVA glue on, dunk it in a bin of flock and tap the excess off.

Nobody does this anymore.

Nope, I always hated the look of flock. Before static grass came along, I went the 'sand painted green' route, instead.

I remember when flock was a thing for military miniatures back when I was a kid in the '60s and '70s from the Napoleonic war figs, to larger scale world war II figures (that were about 4 inches tall). I think that it was also used, to a somewhat limited extent, for model railroads and dioramas for slot-car circuits .

I also remember in the '70s buying that green construction paper with green-painted sawdust glued to it for simulated "grass effects". I laugh at the quaintness of that.
Eventually the sawdust slowly shedded off the paper and generally made a mess of things the longer it stayed put.

I think for wargaming the flock was used up to the 3rd ed. 40k; being eventually replaced by sandy gravel, and that synthetic grass-looking stuff, and of course the myriad sculpted scenic bases.

Yep i have most of my 5th ed army based in a rock/brush basing....then i discovered micro art studios and secret weapons miniatures scenic bases and i never looked back.

Sure do. I'm glad those days are over, it never did look good and that stuff was shedding everywhere!

There are better options now, and I've seen a lot worse... and yes, I have flock on many but not all of my older bases.

Many of my old bases were flocked. Quite a bit of it was turned into stones when electrostatic grass came along. Black undercoat, grey dry brush over.

Since I've started re painting a bit during lockdown for my birthday my wife and kids got me some stuff like new brushes, new holders and a nice new packet of flocking. I don't have the heart to tell them. Looks like I'm back to flocking.

My Tau are flocked.

Some people did indeed stick with flock, but the painting guides released by GW through second edition all used sand.

About when I discovered the hobby, and flock was falling by the wayside. I didn't hate it in mini photos, but when push came to shove, I rathered my own minis didn't look like they were wandering across the planet Pooltable IV.

My second army has flocked bases. Relax, it's retro!

I do all my bases with sand and static grass. It’s become such an alien concept with newer gamers it’s quite funny.

Luetin09 on YouTube had people asking him what on Earth he was doing when basing some minis on a stream once, it’s now that much of a foreign concept to people in the GW ecosystem.

I still flock.

My snow bases (Ultras, Deathwatch, Nids) is a little more involved then the old system, but is still flock based.

My meadow bases (Eldar, Undead) hew pretty close to the Old Way. I use black rims, not goblin green, but the green does serve still as the under layer.

My bag of green flock still dates from the ‘80s.

I think imma start using "flock" instead of that "feth" yall trendy dakkanauts are using in your lingo

flock yes

I think the official GW recommendation is either using one of their sculpted bases, or smearing one of their technical baseing paints on to get the cracked mud/etc look.

Ah I didn't think to check a painting guide I was just going on the GW product shots.

Thanks!

When I started it was tea leaves (took paint better than sand and slightly less likely to fall off over time)

I use a bit of flock for some schemes now though (but dipping the whole base, far too messy, superglue and sprinkle for a faster, neater result, and painting the under the area first makes it look better too)

Everything has to start somewhere and then the evolution comes.

"flock" per say has no place in todays marked of static grass, different pastes and resin enviromental parts.

Hate those “basing” paints.

Me too. I never bothered with flock, but I still have my bag of sand from the 80's

Gettin a snow base with flock and glue is cheep and easy. You can step it up with water effects for a more slushy look. A lifetime supply will cost you like $15 bucks, maybe $20 if you spring for the extra options.

GW charges how much for white paint mixed with a little sand? In a tiny pot...

I'm pretty sure tons of people still use flock. I do. Static grass looks terrible on 15mm and smaller miniatures.

are you talking 28mm scale grass on 6-15mmm? if so i agree. thats why there is static grass for that small scale too.

Just did some for Bolt Action last night. Which is quite a change for me as most of my armies have (painted) black bases.

My beastmen and tyranids are flocked. If I ever go back to them, I'll keep doing it.

I moved to sand for other armies, and I'm trying out the texture 'paint' stuff on an army. Underwhelmed, will likely stick to sand in the future.

I just looked at my RTB-01 Beakies to confirm that they (30yrs ago) had been flocked & what (little)remains on the bases is indeed "flock".

Yes. Still use it.
I use flock, static grass, sand, rock, cork, sculpted bases, etc - all tools in the inventory. Wich tools depends upon the look/effect i want.

I have snow flock I mix with PVA. You can see it on the Wolf Lord's base.

I've never been one for flock myself, but there's something to be said for those old photos in White Dwarf and army codices where the green flock and Goblin Green base rims blend perfectly into the green flock of the table. Minis today tend to use their bases more as another element of theming the army, rather than to match a presumed board style.

So in that regard, odd as it might sound, I think the modern counterpart to flocked bases is clear (transparent) bases.

Flocking-A, I do. Still use it.

That's something I think everyone says when they play against Tau!

I have been toying with "recreating" my original Salamanders in Primaris, so of I do, time to get flockin!

My first army - Skaven - are done exactly like that: Paint green, add glue, dip in green flocking. Put them all together and it looks like they're attacking across a pool table.

Second army - Bretonnia - is done similarly, but using a premade mix called 'spring flocking'. A couple shades of green with tiny amounts of yellow and red. Looks much better, at least from arm's length.

Third army was the Dark Elves. Got much more elaborate here using sand painted dark brown, snow flocking, and 'dead grass' static grass.

Fourth army was Dwarves. Added small rocks to sand painted grey (like gravel), and small clumps of the 'spring flocking'.

Current army in progress is Lizardmen. Again, using sand painted dark brown, but this time using a redder brown. Going for a 'ground level of the rainforest' look, dirt and dead leaves, not sure how I'm going to do the leaves yet. I could just use red, orange, and brown flocking but that seems too fluffy to get the effect I want.

I've heard some people use loose tea for such effects. Anyone have any experience with using tea for basing? Seems like it would be a bit monchromatic, can it be colored with inks before being glued to the base?

Goblin green, flock, and then static grass if you were a fancy fether.

Good times.

Eventually I got those adhesive bushes for when I felt super bougie

I still have a seemingly never ending carton of chinchilla dust for basing mine. It' amazing. Our dog is 12 so I must have had the carton for nearly fourteen years, left over from when we last had one of the critters.

Remember? I flocked bases last week...

I still do bases the old way. But that's because I'm still hanging on to the belief that one day I'll have my 3rd edition fantasy armies completely painted and based in some sort of coherent manner.

New models get newer methods. Flock still has its place though. Just have to be clever about how you use it. Multiple colours, sand, rocks, static grass of different lengths etc.

I'm a hardcore flocker for the most part. Well, flock and static grass and gravel in different combinations depending on the army. For example, my Necrons are quite neautral in colour so I find a vibrant and simple green static grass/flock base sets off the models well, while my SM use a gravel/flock/grass mix.

I hate the textured paints and while scenic bases look OK, I find they often break immersion for me if your entire army is standing on a bunch of rocks or clambering over ruins modelled on their bases.

I've never used flock before. It always seemed fiddly to me, and too easy to accidentally scrape off through use. I'm a Texture Paint guy.

Yep, I flock. It is what was in the starter paint set I bought when I got back into the hobby. So, my first recent army had flock. Over sand

My bird sand is topped up quite frequently. The tub it is in however is a Rolo ice cream tub. I’m pretty sure Rolo ice cream has not existed for at least a decade. Think I’ve had that tub near 20 years by now.

Nice one Grimtuff! I have a collection of Tesco and Asda coleslaw tubs from the early 2000s for all my sand and flocks. Still going strong!

I last flocked a model base... ooh, last week.

Tried the various textured gels and pastes - not a fan, to be honest. Tufts, on the other hand, are a great development.

The diorama and model railway crowd still use a ton of sand and flock, although it tends not to be dyed sawdust these days.
Tea leaves and dried herbs, of course, are great for fallen leaves.

Wargaming: Where you glue actual sand to something, then paint the sand to make it look more like sand!

I only did green flock for WFB IIRC. In fact the last few painted units I have up for sale in the Swap Shop are the last few I have with the flocked bases. I even have a small Tupperware container this a little bit left somewhere.

Cheers,

CB

I did the sand painted brown with patches of flock on top thing. As far as I recall, I've always edged my bases in black though, even during the goblin green days.

My very first army was flocked. Mostly because I followed the painting guides I had found online and in army books.

It was only after I had gone to my first tournament that I realized no one did that anymore...

I have been slowly rebasing/painting my old army so I do still have a bunch of flocked bases, although I mixed my flock with some pebbles to give it a grassy field look.

Simple. You don't do the thing in the book that they suggest to do as it'll look like what everyone else is doing, in theory. Instead, you do exactly what everyone else is doing in practice.

Not at all. A properly flocked base looks good. A 'clear' base just looks like a big chunk of plastic on the table.

In my early years of wargaming it was still a thing. My skills were not up to par anyways so I'm glad I didn't waste any high quality materials

I actually still do it as part of my 'normal' basing. It's just one of those things that I like to tie everything together. But it seems like that's the minority around these parts.

I still have a 25 year old big bag of Woodland Scenics green blend and a felt mat that's flocked to match it. If my Tyranids were an active army of mine instead of being boxed up, I'd probably still be using flock here and there along with sand and static grass.

And yeah, there are folks in those hobbies using flock and making stuff that looks amazing. Nothing's wrong with the technique. It's just a look that GW doesn't push, and people follow their lead whether they want to admit it or not.

I've seen those before. Here in the desert in New Mexico, dry leaves are... not easy to acquire. On the other hand, tea is readily available at the grocery store.

Flocking is like drybrushing. It's a wonderful tool when used properly, but if you over-rely on it your results will not be as nice.

I still do for large model count games games.

I have unpainted sand for my Guardsmen bases. It's pretty obvious for what it is, but it is easy, which is good for guardsmen.

That said, I never wanted my soldiers to be fighting on grass, so I never did flocking. Mud is sand & sawdust mixed with brown. Snow was sand and baking soda mixed with white. I now use GW's effect paint, because the former methods made a hell of a mess and tend to shed everywhere, which GW's effect paint does a lot less. Mostly. Sorta.


I've always wanted to make a board for each of my armies, but boards are expensive and it wouldn't be a "good" playable board for most of them

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

My Guard/WHFB/Warmahordes/ASoI&F are all sand/flock/static grass, albeit having added some tufts here and there as time has gone on. My GSC are all sand painted to look like gravel.

I quite like the basing pastes for things like crackled earth, but not for a typical dirt ground. I tried Astrogranite once but I just did not like it. That said I'm planning on investing in one of those giant tubs of Vallejo basing paste for a muddy-field look to my Flames of War Normandy models.

IMHO it just looks dated.

By flock do you just mean flock by itself?

Or does that include other basing elements?

I use painted sand with peel and stick static grass clumps on my newer bases (especially on post-apoc and Wild West figures), but I have flocked my fantasy stuff the same way, for decades. It's tradition, at this point, over hundreds of figures.

I still use flock for my bases but only as a base for static grass. My Stonehorn Beastraiders are painted as if they are wandering the grassy plains rather than snowy wastelands and as such I use a lot of static grass as well as a off bit of flowers combined with stirland mud to give the impression of tracks / countryside paths. By itself, static grass looks quite thin so I flock the area first then re-do the glue with static grass (blend of colours). The glue dries clear, the grass as a textured undertone and the static grass adds a fuller texture.

Which sized static grass should I use? It seems like 6mm and 2mm are popular lengths. Should I mix these together for a more varies look?

I still put flock on my Epic bases for that retro 90's look:

 infinite_array wrote:

Correct. If the grass it all the same length it looks odd. 2mm is generally used as your 'basing' layer, whilst the larger ones go atop it.

Flock is viable at the 6-10 mm small scale and still used in non-GW often and in historicals

A mixture of multiple basing ingredients is great and flock still has a use

Still don't see why people look down on this.

I keep them separate and glue separate. 6mm is good for near rocks or areas you would expect it to grow in shade, otherwise 2mm everywhere else.

Kewl. I'm working on a new project 28mm project (Early War Germans for the 1939 invasion of Poland) so I'll try some static grass.

Also, here's some of my recent stuff using flock. 10mm ACW and 28mm WW2. I've been using tufts to break up the 28mm stuff, but it'll be interesting to see how it compares to static grass.

Am I the only one who dislikes basing (Flock, static grass, kitty litter, what have you)?

I prefer either the black bases for single, skirmish minis or just painting the base brownish and sponging on some green shades.

You're the extreme minority

Basing is my favorite part of the process. I fething hate painting minis mostly and look forward to basing them.

Try out working on terrain or some dioramas!

Frankly I somewhat miss the simplicity of just flock and Goblin Green bases. Basing a whole army is pretty straight forward this way, not the dumb thing I did like getting a Greenstuff world roller and having to greenstuff each base to make the stone floor I want for my armies.

So much work...

But hey, it's your minis. Do it your way. So long as you like the results that's all that matters.

For decades I just kept most of my minis on plain black bases. Tidied up, so no paint slop, but plain. Didn’t want to clash with the battlefield. My Undead I did base in the Goblin Green and flock of the time.

There are some solid arguments for keeping it plain. Don’t clash from the table, don’t distract from the mini, don’t drag the same rock around the battlefield. Less work. I was happy with it for years.

But I am glad I started baseing.

Dad gonna dad joke. Can’t help it.

To add some pics to my previous point, The classic Goblin Green flock to match the tables of the day:

The table is a 4x8 rescue from when a FLGS went out of business in the late 90s.

These days I black rim, as I think it sets them off nicely, and frames the bases. So when you are not playing on a vintage table, there is a line of demarkation between the mini and the table. Makes it a little less jarring IMHO.


And on larger bases, I use tufts and rocks, not just pure flock.

Moderators, please ban this man.

Anyway, I can see the appeal of plain black bases but I find most people play on green fields enough to justify giving most of mine a grasslands base. Of course with more/most(?) 40k boards now taking on urban settings, particularly in GW stores, I could see an argument away from it, but for fantasy games it's common enough that black would always 'stand out' versus grass, which only contrasts some of the time.

These aren't 40K, but.....



Bases just painted up with no flock/moss/static grass, etc.



Just black bases on very old 40K models.

I just flock bases for smaller scales, especially 6mm. I might add a rock or something for 15mm.

For 28mm I use a little flock here and there, along with other stuff, as appropriate.

Way way back, flock was all you could get so I have a lot of minis that are based that way. Miniatures that I based in the late 80s' still have all the flock on them(it refuses to budge!), my only gripe with it is that it tends to fade; I based all my necrons with black flock which over time turned into light grey, and I ended up covering it with black dust.
Recently I've been using rubber flock for my WW2 figures and I've been impressed with it, it gives good coverage and sticks really well.

I remember flocking bases, and then I stopped in favor of plain bases, cleaned up and marked with whatever the game system needs (front arc markings, colored ring for unit designation, model name, etc.). Just enough work on the base to cover up the tabs or whatever if it's a metal model.

I'm solidly in the "You're using the model as a game piece. The purpose of the base is to facilitate the use of the use of the model in the game" camp. Sure, dioramas are nice, but if you're building a diorama your model would look even better without that base.

Interesting, before reading this thread I considered flock to be the usual way of doing bases. Of course there are sculpted Bases if you have a lot of money or there are technical colors if you want to go cheap, but flock is what most people usually do imo.

Yep. Started the hobby around '95 and in the 3 years I collected I didn't even consider using anything on bases except 2 coats of goblin green and flock. Because as far as I could see, that was how it was done. Even most of the studio models were based like this until '98 iirc?

I think the most adventurous thing I did with bases was putting a skull, or a rock on them, ha...it'd look pretty dull by today's standards.

I started with sand+paint method, now I just go for texture paste+ rocks+self adhesive tufts(or pigments for urban/other textures) I cannot imagine switching to flock, just like I can't imagine going back to 90's fashion style in clothing, as amusing as it was at the time.

I have to admit that my Dwarf army is flocked. That is one of those "never again" moments for me. Different story on terrain, but on a base, it just does not look right in my eye.

Actually, I do it for everything, using that exact procedure, but I've never read that book.

My current fantasy army is flocked with some nice autumn woodland stuff I picked up from a model rail shop for dead cheap. There's nout wrong with flock. Does the job well for me.

I guess for 40k people want to do bases that are a bit more grubby and alien.

I'm actually on my way to a hobby railroad shop this week (well like tomorrow I guess) to buy electrostatic grass cos I've finally run out.

I made a huge amount of flock not too long ago for the retro themed paint competitions, I used a whole pot of goblin green some water and a large bag of Javis fine cork chippings.

The rest of the flock will be used on my next eldar project.
